FOCUS ON CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES
( managing costs , time and activities ) and data warehousing ( document management ).
Material Requirements Planning ( MRP ) is a function of ERP , which deals in detail with the planning of material requirements and the generation of internal work orders . In other words , it transforms the indications of the ERP into specific orders related to that particular job : who does what , where , how , when and with which materials or tools . It also calculates material requirements and plans purchases according to workloads , supplier delivery times and inventories .
Any system — MRP ( Manufacturing Resource Planning ) or ERP – also needs to provide security at user level to ensure that the right employees have access to the right information . The perceived benefit of ERP is to have a single solution to manage an entire company ’ s information structure and processes . There is generally a reduction of data duplication as information is entered only once , and users often benefit from a common interface , thereby reducing training . A single solution only requires a single vendor , potentially ironing out data conflicts between different applications .

Why ERP ?
“ ERP is a natural fit for the manufacturing sector , given the numerous processes that must occur every day just to keep a facility running . Some examples of processes that ERP can help manage and streamline are listed below — be sure to note the numerous ways in which these processes can now ‘ talk ’ to each other via ERP ,” outlined systems specialist , AdvancedTech .
■ Inventory management : From MRO to equipment spares , ERP can act as a centralised resource for inventory tracking , data analysis and replenishment strategy .
■ Supply chain : ERP enables visibility and organisation for vendor performance tracking and can draw on data from internal and external sources to assist with more efficient supply chain planning and management .
■ Maintenance : Manufacturing ERP software facilitates effective maintenance by centralising scheduling , ticketing and work order management , while also enabling powerful data tracking and analytics to improve maintenance effectiveness .
■ Equipment performance tracking : ERP modules can store , track and analyse equipment performance data from sensors and reports , enabling more informed , proactive , targeted maintenance .
■ Quality assurance : Enterprise resource planning software can track QA results , creating vast data stores over time that can play a role in the early identification of maintenance needs .
■ Purchasing : With ERP , purchasing and requisition can be easily organised and can operate with visibility into other relevant areas of the operation .
■ HR : In addition to manufacturing operations and support , ERP can also be applied to HR functions such as performance reviews , goal tracking and more .
