Enterprise Resource Planning Solutions For
each enterprise it is important to be able to
optimize the use of resources (Material, skill,
human) so that at minimum cost best product as
per market requirement in required quantities are
made available in accordance with the law of the
land so as to maximize the return on capital such
that profit is maximized.
3

• The product quantity ,quality and delivery
  schedule is precisely as per marketing
  requirement so that there is no undesirable
  buildup of inventory of finished product or raw
  material.
• i.e. enterprise is update in technology of
  industry
•  2. The production and distribution network is
  able to match the market demand thus all
  functional departments of enterprises are
  promptly responsive to each other.
• i.e. organization management is integrated
  motivated to achieve common goals.
•  
• 3. Tools and solutions for resource management
  are available to enterprise for achieving the
  above without employee having to explore and
  search for solutions.
• i.e. information management and problem resolving
  tools are matching the organization needs

4

• The choice of ERP solution and its
  implementation depends on
• Nature of industry
• 2. Size of enterprise
• 3. Participation of employees
• 4. The availability of financial resources.
• The best choice of ERP solution is the one which
  is acceptable to opinion forming employee groups
  and the management so that both are able to work
  towards its implementation.
•

• From the communication network requirement aspect
  the ERP solutions can be grouped as
• a) Physical exchange of information through
  documents from stand alone functional centers.
• This technique has a major requirement of
  reconciliation of data manually.
•  
• Communication Network requirement - A few
  telephone lines and FAXes
•  
• b) Transfer of documented information through
  electronic network from stand alone networks
  thus increasing the periodicity of information
  flow but the need for reconciliation of data is
  as in previous case but effort on correction of
  data is substantially reduced.
•  
• Communication Network requirement- Few computers
  at least one each at the geographically separated
  functional centers.

6

• c) Time sharing of data periodically in the day
  with allotted time for network availability for
  different functions. This reduces the data
  processing requirements at stand alone
  functional centers but reconciliation is still
  required.
•  Communication Network requirement- Few
  computers at each geographically separated
  functional centers having LAN at geographical
  center with shared communication medium between
  these functional centers .
•  
• d) On line continuous dynamic management and
  sharing of information. The data synchronization
  is automatic and all functional center working
  becomes dependent and cannot function without
  communication network.
• Communication Network requirement- The
  information and activities should be entered in
  standardized formats on computer network such
  that all computers having functioning related
  data should be networked in LAN /WAN at the
  geographically separated functional centers. A
  data management software is required for
  information management.

7
Communication centric application based dynamic
resource management. The information is not only
shared on line but availability of past history,
trends and solutions to similar problems are
available on line to the decision maker such that
quality of decisions improves ( quick, similar by
different person in organization, correct as they
are not based on hunch and perception). This
requires intelligent communication network
capable of allowing heavy processing capabilities
and record management.   Communication Network
requirement- The information and activities
should be entered in standardized formats on
computer network .All computers should be
networked through high capacity low latency with
multiple path protection in LAN /WAN at the
geographically separated functional centers. A
dedicated data management software is required
having required processing capabilities.
