Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI) and Big Data analytics (BDA) are business related tasks and processes, which are supported by standardized software solutions. The book explains that this requires business-oriented thinking and acting from IT specialists and data scientists. It is a good idea to let students experience this directly from the business perspective, for example as executives of a virtual company in a role-playing game. The second edition of the book has been completely revised, restructured and supplemented with actual topics such as blockchains in supply chains and the correlation between Big Data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The structure of the book is based on the gradual implementation and integration of the respective information systems from the business and management perspectives. Part I contains chapters with detailed descriptions of the topics supplemented by online tests and exercises. Part II introduces role play and the online gaming and simulation environment. Supplementary teaching material, presentations, templates, and video clips are available online in the gaming area. The gaming and business simulation Kdibisglobal.com, newly created for this book, now includes a beer division, a bottled water division, a soft drink division and a manufacturing division for barcode cash register scanner with their specific business processes and supply chains.

In the past two decades, several organizations have gone in for the implementation of ERP in their respective organizations, but with mixed results. Wherever the implementation has not produced the desired results, the client organization has invariably blamed the implementer of ERP for the failure to deliver the deliverables while the ERP software implementer has blamed the client organization for not being able to specify exactly what they want and thus the blame game goes on. The real reason, however, for the failure of ERP lies neither with the client nor with the implementing agency/ software company. This failure is attributable to the lack of a standard approach or methodology to describe the business process in an unambiguous manner so that the ERP implementer and his client organization are on the same page. It is therefore felt that an Out-of-the- Box solution is the need of the hour, hence this work. This book ,inter alia, suggests a systems approach to the implementation of ERP so that there is no communication gap between the implementer and the client and the project is implemented successfully to everyone’s satisfaction. Case studies and examples based on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and allied techniques as applied to business processes are also presented in this book.

This book focuses on the fundamentals of ERP and details methods of implementing ERP systems. By using actual case incidents, this book charts the life cycle of ERP projects from cost and profit analysis, through change-management on the basis of re-engineering and technical requirements, to the ion of the ERP system and its final application. It equips managers with the appropriate skills for utilizing ERP systems, and uninitiated readers will gain a thorough understanding of an ERP project life-cycle.

This book is not a technical manual explaining all the nuts-and-bolts details of ERP that must be mastered to successfully implement the technology but is a guide to senior executives, managers, project managers, and project teams to understand the different aspects of an ERP project. An ERP project is far broader than the software technology and it is these other issues that can be the difference between success and failure. This book is based on 35 years of experience of the author, who has worked in organisations all over the world in various capacities and has project-managed ERP projects with varying degrees of success and failure and has analysed many ERP projects from a recovery, mediation and litigation perspective to determine the underlying reasons for ERP failure. The book is written in layman's terms and seeks to provide senior management, middle management, project management, and their project teams with an understanding of the issues that need to be addressed and managed in order to achieve a successful outcome from an ERP project.

This book introduces the fundamental principles of understanding business requirements to apply enterprise resource planning (ERP) in order to meet business needs. The book also helps readers understand the usage of ERP for monitoring and controlling business processes, while providing practical oriented solutions to the design and implementation of ERP. Using the provided framework, a business can decide to provide more value at lower cost which increases its competitive advantage. This should be an ideal reference for executives, researchers and consultants in project management of ERP. ERP can be considered to be an integrated package of business process. The scope of ERP determines the extent of automation of business process. For example if ERP covers Human Resource (HR) and finance business processes only, then business process related HR and finance are automated. Typically business process that are automated in HR and finance employee entry and exist process, allocation of employee ID, payroll, processing , income tax planning and actual deduction etc. There is seamless flow of employee data and information is available at an effectively faster rate to take appropriate decision. As custom demand increases, there is a need to meet the changing scenario with speed and efficiency. While there is a need to increase productivity, there is also a need to reduce cost of operation. The repetitive business processes can be handled effectively by automating them and freeing human resources for meeting other uncertainties. These automations not only should be done for each department, but also should cut across different departments. Thus there is a need for automating business processes at enterprise level. This enterprise level automation started with MRP, then MRP II, ERP and then finally open source ERP have taken centre stage. Out of the standard products available in the market, an organization can chose an ERP product for implementation, depending on the features available and the total cost of ownership (TCO). This comparison helps an organization to choose the product that best suits the needs for the organization. Enterprise Resource Planning: Fundamentals of Design and Implementation highlights these concepts while discusses different good practices to design and implement ERP.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) refers to large commercial software packages that promise a seamless integration of information flow through an organization. Traditionally, separate units were created within an organization to carry out various tasks, and these functional areas would create their own information systems thereby giving rise to systems that were not integrated. ERP strives to provide a solution to these problems. Enterprise Resoure Planning Solutions and Management examines the issues that need to be further studied and better understood to ensure successful implementation and deployment of ERP systems.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are highly complex information systems that allow a company to differentiate itself amongst the fierce competition today. The implementation of an ERP systems can be difficult and costly even with a well thought out strategy. With the tremendous demands on corporate time and resources having employees that are proficient in using their ERP tool will enable the company to compete and perform successfully. Training employees using the ERP is absolutely necessary. We have smart and creative leaders and we must recognize that training our future employees to use the ERP tool is essential. Many dollars are spent on the system and companies must empower their employees to acquire the ERP skillset needed to perform their function and better calculate any issue within the enterprise that would prohibit success. This book allows the reader a step by step instructional hands on application of the modules used in an ERP system from the initial quote to the completion of the receipt of cash process after delivery. The skills needed for entry level employees to assist a company in their ERP implementation is in demand. This book provides for better preparation at a time when college graduates are struggling to distinguish themselves and their skills upon graduation. Companies are hiring and paying more for this skill today. This books makes a difference where very few have. This instructional content bridges the gap that has been so deep between academia and industry. Using an industry ERP tool with real world scenarios improves students and employees understanding and retention of how to handle industry issues in real time effectively. This helps develop attributes needed to succeed in business by offering outstanding educational effectiveness through this dynamic learning.

Management is becoming a more and more exacting job today. Competition is the spirit of the enterprise now. Accuracy and speed are the most important requirements in this. And it now involves the integration and comprehension of details and information from many segments of the business. The daunting task is, however, made possible by the revolutions in Information Technology. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is primarily an enterprise wide system that can accommodate corporate mission, objectives, attitudes, beliefs, values, operating style and people who make the organization. The inadequacy of the old system is the mother of this invention. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): A Managerial and Technical Perspective is designed as a textbook that bridges the unaddressed gap between managerial issues and technical issues, providing also some case studies.
