MET 305 ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING MODULE 5 VINAY.B NSSCE 1
INTRODUCTION In business, "enterprise" most commonly refers to a large, complex organization with multiple departments or branches. It can also describe any business or project that involves initiative, risk-taking, and creativity, including small businesses and startups. Three decades back-very few challenges-stable environment-less competition. Various Departments Marketing, Materials management, Plant maintenance, Production, Finance, HR etc. Each in isolation-only departmental activities and its goals focused. VINAY.B NSSCE 2
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING Need for Integrated Systems: The arrival of ERP was driven by the need to replace isolated, department-specific software with a single system that could integrate all business operations seamlessly. Advancement in Information Technology: The rapid growth of computer networks and database technologies in the 1990s enabled the development of ERP systems that could manage large volumes of business data efficiently across organizations.

Integration of Business Processes: ERP is required to integrate various business functions—like finance, production, sales, and human resources—into a single unified system, ensuring smooth data flow and better coordination across departments. Improved Decision-Making: ERP provides real-time, accurate information that helps managers make informed and timely decisions, improving overall efficiency and productivity. E.g : SAP ERP One of the most widely used ERP systems globally, known for its powerful integration and customization features. Oracle ERP Cloud A cloud-based ERP solution offering advanced analytics and automation. VINAY.B NSSCE 5

Common challenges in ERP implementation Personnel and cultural challenges Resistance to change: Employees may be accustomed to legacy systems and manual processes. Can stem from a fear of the unknown, job insecurity, or simply a reluctance to learn new procedures. Insufficient user training and adoption: Inadequate or generalized training can lead to poor user adoption and frustration, preventing the organization from realizing the system's full benefits. Lack of executive support: An ERP project without strong, active support from top management can easily falter due to a lack of resources, prioritization, and organizational alignment. Poor project team selection: Placing the project in the hands of whoever is available rather than assigning the most skilled and knowledgeable internal resources can lead to poor project management and a lack of process understanding. VINAY.B NSSCE 11
Data and technical challenges Complex data migration: Moving data from disparate, legacy systems to the new ERP is a complex task. Common issues include inconsistent data formats, data corruption, and duplicate or incomplete entries. Data quality issues: The principle of "garbage in, garbage out" is critical for ERP systems. Migrating inaccurate or poorly cleansed data can compromise reporting, decision-making, and the overall reliability of the new system. Integration problems: Integrating the new ERP with existing third-party applications or specialized legacy systems can pose significant challenges due to technical complexities and inconsistent data. Over-customization: While some customization may be necessary, excessive modifications can add complexity, inflate costs, and complicate future system upgrades . VINAY.B NSSCE 12
Planning and management challenges Inadequate project planning: Poor planning can lead to unrealistic timelines, underestimated costs, and overlooked dependencies, undermining the entire project. Budget overruns and scope creep: A common ERP implementation pitfall is expanding the project's scope beyond initial estimates, which significantly increases costs and delays the timeline. Setting unrealistic expectations: Stakeholders may have overly ambitious views of what the new system can do or how quickly it will deliver a return on investment (ROI). Managing these expectations is crucial. Insufficient testing: Failing to conduct thorough and realistic testing of the new system before "going live" can result in critical errors, system instability, and costly downtime post-launch VINAY.B NSSCE 13
E-Commerce (Electronic Commerce) E-Commerce refers to buying and selling of goods and services over the Internet . It involves online transactions between businesses and consumers or between businesses themselves. Key Activities: Online buying and selling Online payment and billing Order tracking and delivery Online marketing and advertising VINAY.B NSSCE 14

What is Data Warehousing ? A Data Warehouse is a centralized storage system that collects, integrates, and stores data from multiple sources to support business analysis and decision-making . Characteristics of Data Warehouse Subject-Oriented: Organized around major subjects (sales, customers, etc.) Integrated: Combines data from multiple sources (ERP, CRM, etc.) Time-Variant: Stores historical data for trend analysis Non-Volatile: Data is stable; once entered, it is not changed or deleted VINAY.B NSSCE 24
VINAY.B NSSCE 25
What is Data Mining? Data Mining is the process of analyzing large datasets to discover hidden patterns, correlations, or useful information using statistical and AI techniques. Techniques of Data Mining Classification: Categorizing data (e.g., credit risk: high/low) Clustering: Grouping similar data (e.g., customer segmentation) Association Rules: Finding relationships (e.g., people who buy bread also buy butter) Regression: Predicting numerical values (e.g., sales forecast) Anomaly Detection: Identifying outliers or frauds VINAY.B NSSCE 26

ONLINE ANALYTICAL PROCESSING (OLAP) OLAP stands for Online Analytical Processing . It refers to a software technology that allows users to analyze data from multiple perspectives and perform complex queries quickly and interactively To support business analysis and decision-making To summarize large volumes of data To provide multidimensional views of business information VINAY.B NSSCE 28
VINAY.B NSSCE 29
Key Features of OLAP Multidimensional Analysis: View data in cubes (e.g., Product × Region × Time) Fast Query Performance: Rapid responses to analytical queries Aggregations: Summarizes data at different levels (e.g., monthly → yearly) Interactive Exploration: Users can drill down or roll up data VINAY.B NSSCE 30
How are Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) Cubes Structured? OLAP cubes structure data by aggregating metrics (facts) over dimensions. Dimensions play a crucial role in organizing data, with examples including time, geolocation, and product categories. Star or snowflake schemas are commonly used to model data within OLAP cubes. These schemas provide a blueprint for structuring data hierarchically, ensuring efficient navigation and analysis. VINAY.B NSSCE 31
