    Business Needs and ERP


    To meet these challenges
    Organisation boundaries getting diffused
    More stakeholders joining in to form a
    synergistic and harmonious business
    ecosystem
    Multilocation, multiplant

    To meet the needs of such an organisation


    Need to integrate the entire enterprise.
    IT to the rescue
    Neetu Ganapathy SDM IMD September 2014

    ERP System
    In the 90s, ERP a tightly integrated monolith
    Entire package had to be bought even if you intended
    to install only Finance module.
    Large initial capital investment

    Today, modular in nature


    Modules for Finance, HR, Production etc.

    Today, quite flexible financing and purchasing


    options
    Individual modules can be purchased and installed
    without having to buy the entire package
    An Enterprise can buy only what they need when they need it

    ERP can be compared to


    Fly-by-wire operation of an aircraft
    Manually piloted aircraft Vs. Airbus 340

    ERP systems
    Would relieve operating managers of routine
    decisions.
    Gives them time to think, plan and execute vital
    long term decisions.
    Leads to significant cost savings by
    continuously monitoring organisation health.

    Integrating the systems running in all the locations

    data source across the organization

    What companies forget


    That ERP is a generic representation of the way
    a typical company does business.
    Companies find that an important business
    process is not supported by ERP.
    Solution
    Change the process to the one the s/w supports
    Very difficult but ideal solution as ERP provides best
    practices

    Modify S/W to fit the current process, peoples roles


    and responsibilities.
    Slows down the implementation
    Unless carefully attempted will cause ERP implementation
    costs to spiral out of control.
    Slight change ok. But complete change not recommended.
    Neetu Ganapathy SDM IMD September 2014

    18

    Potential Risks
    Difficult to implement
    Often easier to adapt business processes
    to the software than vice versa
    Inflexible
    Overly hierarchical?

    ERP S/W is like cement


    you can pour it to look like
    anything you want, but once
    it dries, youre stuck with it
