ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning.ERP is a way to integrate
the data and processes of an organization into one single system.
Usually ERP systems will have many components including hardware and
software. In order to achieve integration, most ERP systems use a
unified database to store data for various functions found throughout
the organization.
The
term ERP originally referred to how a large organization planned to use
organizational wide resources. In the past, ERP systems were used in
larger more industrial types of companies. However, the use of ERP has
changed and is extremely comprehensive. Today the term can refer to any
type of company, no matter what industry it falls in. In fact, ERP
systems are used in almost any type of organization - large or small.
In
order for a software system to be considered ERP, it must provide an
organization with functionality for two or more systems. While some ERP
packages exist that only cover two functions for an organization
(QuickBooks: Payrull & Accounting), most ERP systems cover several
functions.
Today's
ERP systems can cover a wide range of functions and integrate them into
one unified database. For instance, functions such as Human Resources,
Supply Chain Management, Customer Relations Management, Financials,
Manufacturing functions and Warehouse Management functions were all once
stand alone software applications, usually housed with their own
database and network. Today, however, they can all fit under one
umbrella - the ERP system.
Integration is Key to ERP
Integration
is an extremely important part to ERP. ERP's main goal is to integrate
data and processes from all areas of an organization and unify them for
easy access and work flow. ERP's usually accomplish integration by
creating one single database that employs multiple software modules
providing different areas of an organization with various business
functions. Although the ideal configuration would be one ERP system for
an entire organization, many larger organizations usually create and ERP
system and then build upon the system and external interface for other
stand alone systems which might be more powerful and perform better in
fulfilling an organizations needs. Usually this type of configuration
can be time consuming and does require lots of labor hours.
The Ideal ERP System:
An
ideal ERP system is when a single database is utilized and contains all
data for various software modules. These software modules can include:

management, quality contrul, bills of material, manufacturing process,
