Abstract
The Purpose of this thesis seeks to provide a conceptual model that explains the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to general and project managers in a non-technical manner that is easily understood. The methodologies used in the thesis are evaluating the current system of the factory particularly the resources. This is very important step to determine the way of implementing ERP system. In the thesis two types of implementation schemes are suggested i.e. the company wide and Quick slice. Company-wide implementation: total company project; all ERP functions implemented; time frame one to two years. Quick-Slice ERP implantation: confined to one or several Pareto high-impact product lines; most, but not all, ERP functions implemented; time frame three to five months. Thus based on the questionnaire survey, the main problem in the factory is the production delay and its immediate consequence of high manufacturing cost. The same result is obtained when a discussion is held with the heads, experts and team leaders. The past data records of the factory also depicts the same reason with that of the questionnaire survey. Based on the given problems the reasons which cause it are identified, rated and evaluated based on ERP systems. Business models are used as a starting point to show how the ERP systems are integrated and finally software is developed for inventory management system and human resource management. Findings from the thesis work are that ERP is more than just software. Unless a clear understanding exists of the different components and their integration ERP projects will continue to be plagued by failure. This model is applicable to any ERP system as it is generic and vendor independent and helps determining the scope of an ERP project. The value of the thesis is that it enables general and project managers to understand ERP systems better without becoming overwhelmed by product or technical detail. This facilitate the successful implementation of ERP systems, thus ensuring project success and, ultimately, organizational success.
