ERP Implementation In Organization
CERTIFICATE
Declaration
Nikhil Sharma (B.tech CSE 3rd^ Year)
Enterprise resource planning is a term originally derived from manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) that followed material requirements planning (MRP). MRP evolved into ERP when "routings" became a major part of the software architecture and a company's capacity planning activity also became a part of the standard software activity. ERP systems typically handle the manufacturing, logistics, distribution, inventory, shipping, invoicing, and accounting for a company. ERP software can aid in the control of many business activities, including sales, marketing, delivery, billing, production, inventory management, quality management and human resource management.
ERP systems saw a large boost in sales in the 1990s as companies faced the Y2K problem in their legacy systems. Many companies took this opportunity to replace their legacy information systems with ERP systems. This rapid growth in sales was followed by a slump in 1999, at which time most companies had already implemented their Y2K solution.
ERPs are often incorrectly called back office systems indicating that customers and the general public are not directly involved. This is contrasted with front office systems like customer relationship management (CRM) systems that deal directly with the customers, or the eBusiness systems such as eCommerce, eGovernment, eTelecom, and eFinance, or supplier relationship management (SRM) systems.
ERPs are cross-functional and enterprise wide. All functional departments that are involved in operations or production are integrated in one system. In addition to manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and information technology, this would include accounting, human resources, marketing and strategic management.
ERP II, a term coined in the early 2000's, is often used to describe what would be the next generation of ERP software. This new generation of software is web- based, and allowed both internal employees, and external resources such as suppliers and customers real-time access to the data stored within the system. ERP II is also different in that the software can be made to fit the business, instead of the business being made to fit the ERP software. As of 2009, many ERP solution providers have incorporated these features into their current offerings.
In the absence of an ERP system, a large manufacturer may find itself with many software applications that cannot communicate or interface effectively with one another. Tasks that need to interface with one another may involve:
ERP Systems centralize the data in one place. Benefits of this include:
Some security features are included within an ERP system to protect against both outsider crime, such as industrial espionage, and insider crime, such as embezzlement. A data-tampering scenario, for example, might involve a disgruntled employee intentionally modifying prices to below-the-breakeven point in order to attempt to interfere with the company's profit or other sabotage.
ERP systems typically provide functionality for implementing internal controls to prevent actions of this kind. ERP vendors are also moving toward better integration with other kinds of information security tools.
Problems with ERP systems are mainly due to inadequate investment in ongoing training for the involved IT personnel - including those implementing and testing changes - as well as a lack of corporate policy protecting the integrity of the data in the ERP systems and the ways in which it is used.
An Overview of the ISD
(Information Systems
Department) of the L&T (Larsen
& Toubro)
The Information Systems Department has been established with the mission to Understand and rationalize the management of Information Technology within the Organization to attain its goals.
The key functions are
The ISD organization can be broadly categorized into Head Quarters (HQ), Regional Office and Project Sites.
The team at HQ focuses on,
The Team at Regional Office focuses on,
L&T (PT&D) Division has always been using the best of Information Technology for its business needs and has developed many In-house packages over the years and this has led to the evolution of flagship In-house Enterprise Applications viz.,
EIP is the online central enterprise portal with key OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) and OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) applications. It also functions as the Central Repository of Data Warehouse with consolidated information from various systems.
CeMa is the stand-alone version of the key EIP modules with a focus on construction management at project sites where permanent connectivity is not feasible. It is tightly integrated with EIP to provide appropriate information to the management.
PDSS is another key enterprise application catering to the needs of Factory Operations. It is also well integrated with EIP.
The key modules developed are,
Apart from the above, modules like CSTI, HSE, Risk MIS etc., are developed on specific requirements from business units / departments.
Latest technologies from Microsoft have been employed to develop these modules. Programming languages like Visual FoxPro, VB ASP, ASP.Net, VB.Net, C# etc has been used to develop the front end with Microsoft SQL 2005 / Oracle 10g as Enterprise Database engines.
IT Infrastructure plays a key role in delivering an agile and flexible end-to-end business solution. Hence our organization has invested significantly on the best IT infrastructures which host various software and IT Applications.
The infrastructure components are spread across various domestic and overseas locations with HQ hosting the Data Center and key communication infrastructure components.
The key infrastructure components at the Data Center are,
The HQ is well connected with all regions and factories through WAN and also hosts the Gateway to the Internet. Critical Data transactions take place through secured WAN connectivity. Projects sites are connected through Internet.
The key Networking and Communication infrastructure are
With a need to match the speed of technological innovation, ISD is regularly upgrading the underlying infrastructure which is the back-bone of its IT operations.
Choosing the right technology is one of the key factors in succeeding the implementation of IT in business operations. Hence we have a dedicated R&D and Quality Team which ensures the adoption of appropriate technology and Quality Assurance.
The key focus areas are,
With a concern over Information Security, we have access control systems in order to provide the right information to right people. One must need Security Credentials (username & password) to get into the desired IT systems & applications. Access for EIP, Email, KM Portal, and Reporting Server can be obtained based on request with the approval of the concerned business unit heads.
With the mission to provide continuous improvement over customer satisfaction and quality support, we have Helpdesk IT Support which is the single point of contact for handling issues related to software and IT applications
The key responsibilities are
