 ABSTRACT
“Enterprise Resource Planning” is a term originally coined in 1990 by The
Gartner Group to describe the next generation of MRP II software.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the industry term used to describe a
broad set of activities supported by multi-module application software that
helps a manufacturer or other business manage the important parts of its
business. These parts can include product planning, Plant Maintenance,
Quality Management, Material Management, Inventory Management,
Manufacturing, etc. The transition to ERP environment from old MRP
environment has been slow, expensive and painful to say the least for even
the best managed organizations. Yet, it has been proven that the benefits
of the ERP have outweighed these migratory issues. This paper introduces
ERP, its benefits, what one can expect from ERP, the suppliers of ERP
and how to organize oneself to ensure smooth implementation of ERP.
