1. INTRODUCTION TO ERP

1.1 INTRODUCTION:- (1) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an extremely powerful tool which provides a seamless information system to support the various functional business modules of an enterprise. Most organisations are turning to the available ERP package for solution to their information management problems. ERP package if chosen correctly, implemented judiciously and used efficiently will raise the productivity and profit of companies dramatically. The term ERP was coined in the early 90’s. ERP is essentially the successor of both Material Requirement Planning (MRP-I) and Material Resource Planning (MRP-II) software that were an outcome of the need for greater control and efficiency in manufacturing system. MRP was one of the first computerised procedures which significantly improved the way things were done. Since MRP was first implemented, many additional improvements in produciton management have been introduced by taking the advantage of the data processing and computational powers of the computer.

1.2 TRADITIONAL PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:- (2) At least a dozen separate functions can be identified as constituting the cycle of activities in traditional production management. Organisationally, some of these functions are performed by departments in the firm other than the production management department. The working of the traditional mgt. system can be well explained by the following flow chart which shows the interconnection between the various departments of the organisation.

1.3 PROBLEMS WITH TRADITIONAL PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:- There are many problems that occur during the cycle of activities in the traditional approach to the working of an organisation. Many of these problems result directly from the inability of the traditional approach to deal with complex and ever changing nature of manufacturing. The types of problems commonly encountered in the traditional production management are as follows: . Plant capacity problem. . Suboptimal production scheduling. . Long manufacturing lead times. . Inefficient inventory control. . Lone work center utilization. . Process planning not followed. . Error in engineering and manufacturing records. . Quality problems. 1.4 NEED OF ERP:- (1) ERP covers the techniques and concepts employed for the integrated management of business as a whole, from the point view of the effective use of management resourses, to improve the efficiency of an enterprise. ERP packages are integrated software packages that support the ERP concepts. ERP software is designed to model and automate many of the basic processes of company from finance to the shop floor, with the goal of integrating information across the company and eliminating complex expensive links between computer systems. ERP systems, produce the dramatic improvements that they are capable of only, when used to connect parts of an organisation and integrate its various processes seamlessly. Industry analysts are forecasting growth rates of more than 30% for at least the next five years. The ultimate winner in this race will be the customer, who will get better products and better service at affordable prices.

1.5 ADVANTAGES OF ERP:- (3) i) Reduction in inventory. ii) Improved customer service as late orders are reduced by 90%. iii) Quicker response to changes in demand and in the master schedule. iv) Greater productivity i.e. can be increased upto by 5 to 30%. v) Reduced setup and product changeover costs. vi) Better machine utilization. vii) Increased sales and reductions in sales price. viii) Flexibility, better analysis and planning capabilities.

2.2 SALES FORECASTING: (3) The planning of production activity is essential so that the resources are put to their best use and maximum profit is achieved. Planning is essential to meet customers orders at the least cost. To do this the changes in the inventory of 1) Raw materials 2) Work-in-process 3) Finished goods must be made as per the expected future sale i.e. sales forecast. Sales forecasting is the collection and processing of past data to work out expected future sales. Classification of Sales Forecast: Sales forecast is classified into two major categories: 1) Short Term Forecast: Forecast for the period of next one year or less than a year are called short term forecasts. Short-term forecast is made for the purpose of master scheduling, materials control, loading, scheduling and budgeting 2) Long Term Forecast: Forecasts covering periods over one year ( 5 years, 10 years or even 15 years) are termed asa long term forecasts. These long-term forecasts are made for the purpose of product diversification; sales and advertising, budgeting, financial planning etc.

2.3 FORECASTING METHODS: There are three well known forecasting methods. 1) Synthetic forecast 2) Analytical forecast 3) Use of economic indicators. 1) Synthetic Forecast: This method is based on the opinion surveys and most commonly used by industrial manufacturers. In this, company salesman are asked to submit estimation of future sales in their respective territories. The estimates of salesman are consolidated into the total estimates of future sales in their respective territories. The estimate of the salesman are consolidated into the total estimate of the sales. The final estimation is worked out after thorough checking to avoid undue imagination of salesmen. 2) Analytical Forecast: This method uses the principle that “past can always be taken as a guide for future.Sales analysis of past few periods can always provide an indication for future sales. In this actual demand data of past few years is arranged in a chronological order of their occurences called “Time Series”. Time series can be used to determine the secular trend. The secular trend is overall growth or decline of the business over the time. 3) Use of Economic Indicators: The forecasting under this method is done with the help of one of the economic indicators given below: i) Personal income for the demand of personal goods like scooters, TVs, radios etc. ii) Agricultural income for the demand of tractors, fertilizers etc. iii) Registration of automobiles to forecast the demand of automobile spares, petrol, diesel etc. iv) Construction contracts to project the demand of cement, bricks, paints and other building materials. v) Population index tp forecast the demand of customer goods like toothpaste soap, matchbox etc.

3. MODULE 2 : DATABASE

3.1 OPTIONS OF THE DATABASE MODULE: (2)

Options available on this module are as follows:

3.2 DATABASE: Database can be defined as the collection of interrelated data in a single location to be used by different modules for a variety of applications. When this data is processed and presented in a desired format it becomes information. This information is useful in decision making. Therefore, data is a raw material of the information.For example, we can feed to the computer the details on work order regarding quantity of finish product produced, actual weight of raw materials consumed, actual time taken for processing the work order. Then this data will be processed. In processing it will be compared with the standard values of production, raw material consumption etc. and a report on the work order analysis will be generated. This work order report is the information. In this module the various databases included are: 1) Process Sheets 2) Bill of Materials 3) Finish Inventory 4) Order Inventory 5) Work Centres 6) Holidays Provision is also made so that we can manipulate this data. The various manipulations which can be applied to these databases are: 1) Adding data to database 2) Deleting data from the database 3) Editing the records of database 4) Viewing the data of the database 5) Printing the reports on database in a specific format. This database module is integrated with all other modules so that there will be free flow of data between the database module and the other modules so that the duplication of data can be avoided. For example, data on finish inventory is required by the number of different modules viz. Sales module, Scheduling module, Inventory module, Materials requirement module etc. Instead of maintaining the basic information on the finish inventory such as code, description, lead time, processing batch size etc. with the database module to avoid the duplication of the data.

4. MODULE 3: SCHEDULING

4.2 THE MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULE (MPS) : (3) By definition, the MPS is detailed statement of how many items are planned to be produced and when. Thus any company’s MPS is a matrix of items scheduled and time periods covered for each item scheduled.The time periods used, most often are weekly, although occasionally biweekly or monthly are used for large, complex products like power generation equipment and ships. The MPS states what can be and should be produced, it is not a wish list of what management would like to produce. The problems resulting from overstating the MPS are very immediate and serious. A sales forecast is not as MPS, it projects customer demand on the other hand MPS states production to meet this demand. The MPS is also not an assembly or packaging schedule.

4.3 INPUTS TO THE MPS : Many factors must be given consideration in developing the MPS, there are both technical and non-technical and include: 1) Whether products are stocked, made to order or combination of both. 2) Make verses buy policies. 3) Customer orders and demand forecast. 4) Safety stock levels. 5) Policies on stability of employment and plant utilization. 6) Product structure as defined by bills of materials. Obviously preparing the MPS is not a clerical task. It is high level planning operation that should be thoroughly understood and directed by top managers.

4.4 THE MPS FORMAT : The specific formats used for the MPS are as different as the individual companies using them. The format selected for the dissertation work is given at the end of this chapter. Any MPS is simply a file of data for each end product in it showing how much is planned and when, in specific time periods. Dr. J.A. Orlicky suggested that the MPS be viewed as a continuous “scroll” being steadily moved to drop past periods off one end and reveal future periods on the other, maintain a constant horizon.

4.5 USES OF MPS : The MPS is the most important data under management control. It has many uses. Some of these are: 1) It drives Material Requirement plan. 2) It drives Capacity Requirements planning. 3) It drives the Financial plans leading to allocation of budget for purchases etc. 4) It can be used to promise the delivery deadlines.

All Items Specific Item

5.2 MATERIALS REQUIREMENT PLANNING : (4) Manufacturing companies, large or small, continually seek to improve response to customers, increase profitability and become more competitive. Their aims are to make savings in working capital by reducing stocks, service and support costs whilst improving cycle times, delivers and quality. Advanced computer based material requirement planning help to achieve this. The essence of manufacturing is flow of materials from suppliers to plants, plants to customers, and of information to all parties about what should happen next. This is true regardless of what is made, how and when it is made, who makes it and where it is made. The first law of manufacturing is: “All benefits will be directly proportional to the speed and flow of information.” The speed of flow of materials and information can be increased if we have the solution to the following six simple questions: 1) What is to be made? 2) How many, and when are they needed? 3) What materials are required to do this? 4) Which materials are already available? 5) Which materials will be available on time? 6) Which more materials will be needed and when? Computer based material requirement planning(MRP) can provide precise answers to these questions. Material requirement planning (MRP) is a computational technique that converts master production schedule (MPS) for end products into a detailed schedule for the raw materials and components used in the end products. The detailed schedule gives the quantities of each raw materials and components needed to produce the end products. It also tells when these materials must be ordered in order to meet the delivery dates of end products mentioned in master production schedule. The master production schedule provides the overall production plan for final products in terms of month by month or week by week delivery requirements. Each of the product may contain hundreds of individual components. These components are produced out of raw materials, some of which are common among the components. For example, several parts may be produced out of the same sheet metal. The components are assembled together into more complex assemblies and so forth, until the final product is assembled together. Each production and assembly step takes time. All these factors must be incorporated into the MRP computations. Although each separate computation is uncomplicated, the magnitude of all the data to be processed is so large that the application of MRP is virtually impossible unless carried out on a digital computer.

5.3 INPUTS TO MRP : (7) MRP converts the master production schedule into the detailed schedule for raw materials and components. For the MRP program to perform this function, it must operate on the data contained in the master schedule. However this is one of the three sources of input data on which MRP relies. The three inputs to MRP are: 1) The master production schedule and the other data. 2) The bill of materials file, which defines the product structure. 3) The inventory record file. Flow chart given below shows the flow of data into the MRP processor and its conversion into useful output reports. The three inputs are described below. Master Production Schedule : The master production schedule is a list of what end products are to be produced and when the products are to be ready for the shipment.

Bill Of Materials

Output Reports

Bill of Materials: Bill of Material is a listing of component parts and sub- assemblies that make up each product. Putting all these assembly lists together, we get the bill of materials file (BOM). Inventory Record File: It is mandatory in material requirement planning to have accurate current data on inventory status. This is accomplished by utilizing a computerised inventory system, which maintains the inventory record file or item master file. The data contained in the inventory record file or item master file is used by MRP processor to calculate the quantity to be procured for the items which are to be used to produce as per the quantities mentioned in the MPS.

5.3 BENEFITS OF MRP : (5) There are many advantages claimed for well designed, well managed material requirement planning system. Among these benefits reported by MRP used are the following: . Reduction in inventory. . Improved customer service. . Quicker response to the changes in the demand and master production schedule. . Greater productivity.

. Increased sales and reduction in sales price.

6. MODULES : INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

6.2 INVENTORY MANAGEMENT : Inventory control is concerned with achieving an optimum balance between two competing objectives. The objectives are: 1) To minimise investment in inventory. 2) To maximise the service levels to the firms customers and its own operating departments. The Inventory Management Module: The inventory management module of the ERP system would be organised to accomplish two major functions: 1) Inventory Accounting. 2) Inventory Planning and Control. Both of these applied to all types of inventories ( raw materials in process inventories, finished products and maintainence and tooling items). Inventory accounting is concerned with inventory transactions and inventory records. The accuracy in completeness of the transactions and records is critical to the success of the ERP. A material requirement planning, for example depends on accurate inventory records to perform its planning function.

Inventory transactions include receipts, disbursement or issues, returns and loans. Inventory transactions would also allow adjustments to be made in the records as a result of a physical inventory count. The various changes would be entered by means of a terminal located at the site of transaction. The purpose of entering the various transactions is to maintain accurate inventory records. Additions and subtractions are made to the inventory balance as a result of the transactions. The item “item master file” is sometimes used to describe computerised inventory record file. The Inventory Record File contains three segments, 1) Item master data segment. 2) Inventory status segment. 3) Subsidiary data segment. The first segment gives the items identification and other data such as lead time and order quantity. The second segment provides a time phased record of inventory status. Therefore, the inventory status segment lists the gross requirements for the item, scheduled receipts, on hand status and planned order releases. The third file segment contains miscellaneous information pertaining to purchase orders, scrap or rejects, engineering changes action and so on. Inventory planning & control is concerned with planning and control of inventories. Many of these planning and control activities are accomplished by the MRP module.

7. MODULE 6 : CAPACITY PLANNING

7.1 OPTIONS OF THE CAPACITY MODULE : (2) Options available on this module are:

CAPACITY PLANNING

Capacity plan Loading chart

7.2 CAPACITY PLANNING : (3)

MPS does not consider the available capacity and often formulates production plans that are not feasible., given a specified plant capacity. Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) takes planned orders from MPS and open (released) work orders and translates work orders into days of work on a work center basis. CRP then using cumulative lead times, applies the work (load) required for each order to the appropriate work centers for the time period the order will be in that work center. This is called scheduling. For scheduling CRP can start from today’s date and schedule the job to the completion (forward scheduling) or using the delivery date (due date) for the order, schedule backwards to determine the start date of the job (backward scheduling). There are two types of loading in CRP, finite and infinite. (6) In finite loading, CRP considers the total capacity of a work center and does not load beyond that point. Infinite loading loads all work for the period into the appropriate work centers then produces under or overload reports showing where more or less capacity is needed to efficiently handle the load. When load is more than the plant capacity, the CRP processor will report to this respect. Although CRP may generate suggestions, to help balance the capacity and load.Depending on which it is decided whether the order release is to be delayed or subcontracting the job, splitting into several smaller jobs, routing through an alternate work center or authorising over time. This will best eliminate the overload and still get the job done on time.

SHOP FLOOR CONTROL

8.2 SHOP FLOOR CONTROL : (2) The various production methods occur before actual manufacturing while Shop Floor Control (SFC) includes techniques and technologies by which the progress and status of production is compared with the plans. The Shop Floor Control (SFC) is concerned with the release of the production orders to the factory, controlling the process of the orders through the various work centers and acquiring current information on the status of the orders. Reducing the definition to the simplest possible terms, shop floor control deals with managing the work in process inventory. The input to the shop floor control system is the collection of production plans(e.g. the results of process planning, MRP, capacity planning etc.) and the factory production operations are the processes to be controlled. A typical shop floor consists of three phases. In ERP these phases are augmented by computer. The three phases are: 1) Order release. 2) Order scheduling. 3) Order progress. Order Release : The order release phase of the shop floor control provides the documentation needed to process a production order through the factory. Work orders are issued according to the on hand pending orders and the inventory records of the finished products. It is also a usual practice to enclose the process sheet or route sheet alongwith the work order enabling the production department to process the order. Work order gives the various details such as name of the product, the quantity to be manufactured, start and finish dates of the production, delivery date of the order etc. It also provides the space so that the actual details regarding material consumption, actual quantity of finish product produced, actual start and finish dates etc. can be filled into. Order Scheduling: The order scheduling module assigns the production orders to the various work centers in the plant. It follows directly from the order release module. In effect order scheduling executes the dispatching function in production planning and control. The details about the production schedule are included in the work order itself. Order Progress: The order progress module in the shop floor control system monitors the status of the various orders in the shop. The function of the order progress module is to provide information that is useful in managing the factory based on the data collected from the factory. The information on the consumption of raw materials, quantity of finish products produced etc. will be collected and the yeild will be calculated. This report is called “Work order analysis report”. 8.3 Flow Chart For Work Order Analysis:

9.2 QUALITY CONTROL : The quality control is responsible for assuring that the quality of the product and its components meet the standards specified by the designer. This function must be accomplished at various points throughout the manufacturing cycle. Materials and parts purchased from outside suppliers must be inspected, when they are received. Parts fabricated inside the company must be inspected, usually several times during processing, Final inspection of the finished product is performed to test its overall functional and appearance quality.

9.3 COMPUTER AIDED QUALITY CONTROL : (3) Computer aided inspection (CAI) and computer aided testing(CAT) are the two major segments of computer aided quality control. Whereas these activities have been traditionally performed manually (with the help of gauges, measuring devices and testing apparatus), CAI & CAT are performed automatically using

computer and sensor technology. Today, CAI & CAT can be well integrated into the overall ERP system. The implications of the use of computer aided quality control are important. The automated methods of quality control will result in significant improvements in product quality. Use of sensors and computers to inspect the components in process enables the process to become more flexible by reducing inspection time as it is not necessary to inspect it afterwards to take corrective action if any fault is found. This reduces overall manufacturing lead time further increasing the productivity.

10. INTEGRATION OF THESE MODULES

10.1 NEED OF INTEGRATION : (6) Today, the industry forces many challenges. Global mergers and consolidations have created new companies – substantially larger and more widespread than ever before. It is therefore necessary for the industry to continue delivering consistently high quality products and services to its customers. A flexible, cost efficient and responsive environment is therefore necessary to ensure that these challenges are met successfully. And one of the ways, perhaps the only one, is to integrate the entire enterprise through an information backbone – the ERP system.

10.3 INTERLINKING OF THE MODULES : Floor of information starts from the customer and ends at the customer i.e. the product which is manufactured by any company as per the requirement of the customer, is supplied to him only. And sales department works increase the interest of the customer in that product. At the same time, marketing people finds out the different aspects and requirements of the customers which originates the need of new component. This is supplied to design engineering. Here, design engg. Depending upon the data available and supplied by the marketing, prepares the drawing of the component with all the specifications. As all the modules are integrated, the same componet drawing is made available at all the departments and hence duplication is avoided. Then this drawing is studied and different operations that are to be carried out are planned and given to the Engineering & manufacturing database. Here data available & data supplied is compared and is processed. This is integrated with production planning and material requirements planning. Depending on this data, master schedule is prepared. Raw material, required is procured at the right time and if necessary purchased from outside so that there should not be shortage of material. Out of these modules shown, MRP, SFC, Capacity planning and Inventory control are important. Due to integration of these modules the required information is available at right time & at right place. This can be explained as follows: Once it has been decided by design engineering that the different specifications and other features of the new product, then this is supplied to the Engineering and manufacturing database. Taking into account capacity of the organisation master schedule is prepared. This information is used by the MRP to procure the material in time. As these different modules are integrated, MRP can check the inventory for the product/raw material & also at the same time can obtain the data from the manufacturing database and then decide how much quantity of material is to be purchased so that required material can be made available at required time. This is then interlinked with SFC. SFC is related with order release, order scheduling and order progress. It also takes information from inventory control and provides the information regarding material required for the production. This order released is then supplied to production and assembly department which actuall carries out the production. Due to integration, this department is readily available with the information that how much quantity of material is to be produced, how many are to be used for this production and what should be the quantity produced per production run. Production is governed by Quality control which takes the data from design engineering to update the information and it always looks for the good quality of products that can be produced so that customer’s requirements can be fulfilled. This all shows that integration of these modules is nothing but the interlinking of these departments by computer networking. Use of computers has made it possible to flow the information in real time.

10.4 ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATION OF MODULES :

. Flow of information takes place in real time. . Duplication of any type of data is avoided. . Documentation is reduced. . More co ordination between all modules. . This reduces the time wasted in flow of information from one department to another. . In short, this increase the productivity and inturn increases the profit earned by the organisation.

11. CONCLUSION

ERP implementation is the need of every industry today. Enterprises today employ a mixture of several approaches to manufacturing. It must be possible to operate the company in all these approaches. The emerging trend of amalgamations, acquisitions and strategic alliances among competing corporation required a more capable software to manage such multifacility enterprises. The only solution to this is ERP software. Integration is the main benefit of ERP.Manufacturers need their systems to unify all parts of their operations under one roof and be able to see the impact of each decision on the bottomline. So, ERP is the integrated system which links all the activities under one roof and sets up the work flow so that information is passed on to the next area in the channel automatically. To the company’s purpose to deliver consistently high quality products and services to its customers and global challenges can be met successfully by integrating the entire enterprise through ERP system.
