Abstract:
An enterprise resource planning (ERP) project is a large enterprise program, both
from a business and technology point of view. It generates huge changes and often
involves calling into question many traditional functions within the company, for
which people are seldom well prepared. It often requires the implementation of
several new systems and their integration with existing systems and often represents
one of the larger IT projects - certainly one of the highly critical ones in most
companies, Cooperation between business and IT extends to a global collaboration
between many business units and several entities of the IT department. The success
of the project will depend on the quality of that collaboration.
Before starting such a challenging project, certain conditions must be assured. The
company must ensure the maturity in ERP and the technical and management
capabilities of the IT department and the ability of both business and IT to work
together. Without these prerequisites, companies would not be able to lead and
achieve the different phases of an ERP project. This preparation may require some
communication and educational campaign, which is critical for success. Once the
level of maturity, acceptance and technical capabilities are reached, then the project
team must be given the structure and the skills that will allow it to face and overcome
the inevitable challenges it will encounter; this effort should integrate business, IT
and change-management people.
Our project that we are making will reduce all paper work that is done
in the industry, through which all stocks can be managed efficiently. Basically this
project will bring all processes in a single software through which one could easily
see what is going on in the company and how much time it will take to complete
each order and can also make changes in it.
