Enterprise Resource Planning - Background An organization’s critical business processes often cut across many of its functional units. In most organizations, each process has its own data needs and applications that operate as distinct systems. The results of this approach: - Function-Centric view in the business units - Operational Inefficiencies Example: A customer order Logistics Accounting Purchasing Sales Production
Customer orders Forecasts Master production schedule Bills of materials Routings Time standards Inventory records Inventory transactions MRP explosion Material requirements plan Cost and financial data Manufacturing resource plan Enterprise Resource Planning - Background The Idea of MRP ERP evolved from MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and MRP II.
Enterprise Resource Planning - Background The Idea of MRP II “Instead of having one set of numbers for the operating system in manufacturing and one set kept by the financial people – once the manufacturing people have numbers that are valid, the financial people can use these to get their numbers. Of course, whenever there are two systems – the numbers are bound to be different. With MRP II, everybody can be working with the same set of numbers, but that’s only the technical difference. The big difference comes in the way management uses these tools…MRP II becomes a company game plan for manufacturing, marketing, engineering, and finance.” Oliver Wright, The Executives Guide to Successful MRP II, 1982.
