Managing the Supply Chain Papers with ERP


 
Business
An integral part of running a business organization is operations management, which is concerned with everything a business uses to make a profit. It concerns itself with managing resources, centralizing services and processes, and accounting for all produced goods. These are linked together into a carefully-maintained supply chain. One way to maintain supply chain papers is through enterprise resource planning.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a sophisticated software database system integrating all the data and daily processes of an organization. This networked support system allows every department to store, retrieve and share information in real-time. It also has a modular design so businesses can choose the modules they need, mix and match modules from different vendors, and add new modules of their own to improve business performance. Besides managing information from supply chain papers, it can execute other processes, like calculating sales commissions and scheduling supply procurement.

How does ERP manage supply chain papers?

An organization installs an ERP database software system on hardware built for this purpose. Its supply chain management arm inputs logistical data, which is the entire inventory of goods and resources from supply chain papers into the system. It also adds in the matching production and control processes, like sourcing, conversion, coordination and collaboration with channel partners, purchasing and goods inspection. This is how supply chain papers are managed.

That’s not all. Instead of looking only at production-oriented economies of scale, it gives the organization opportunities to focus on its client by helping reduce overall costs listed in the supply chain papers. It connects the supply point to the point of consumption or sale. It can even focus on customer value, which takes the nominator perceived benefits and the denominator total costs of ownership.

Why operations management articles do not promote ERP more actively

If using ERP is so convenient, why don’t operations management articles emphasize the need for more business organizations to use ERP? This is partly because ERP systems and ERP articles are rooted in information technology (IT), which is difficult to understand for most people in business. Also, most business organizations are still switching from manually-run operations management to automated information management software. Some organizations are even adamant to continue the manual way of doing things. They stubbornly ignore instead of consulting the strategies based on new operations management articles.

Business practices are centralizing all processes, resources, and services needed to run a business. The business model in the past was production-driven, geared to marketing and producing for the masses. Today, the model leans towards integrating mass customization and one-to-one marketing; ERP can be made to do exactly that, by harnessing existing information, perceived customer values and even market-oriented strategies, in a single virtual network. Interesting developments in this area and the need for professionals and researchers to keep abreast of these developments are good reasons why operations management articles should be read on a regular basis.

It is evident from operations management articles of recent times that ERP, if implemented and used properly, has been taking over from existing management processes in a cost-efficient way. ERP and supply chain papers and articles over recent years have made an interesting read as the developments, problems and breakthroughs have been traced by the various academics, researchers and industrial consultants alike.
