About Supply Chain ERP:-

 Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software plays a vital role in centralizing transaction data. Supply chain management solutions are gaining significance as organizations strive to respond faster to market conditions.

Steps that we should take for a smooth Chain ERP implementation:-

There are a number of factors to be considered to implement chain ERP, including the number of sites that you are going live with, how many legacy systems are being replaced, and how many users are affected. In general, though, the variables that are most likely to reduce the risk of your migration causing interruptions include:

1) Training - the better training you provide users, the less problems you will see.

2) Legacy system planning - what are you going to do with your systems after go-live? Will you run them in parallel for a short-period until you know the new ERP system is functional? If so, have you budgeted these costs in your ROI? 3) Testing - Unit and integration testing is very important; you significantly reduce your implementation risk if you have
thoroughly tested the solution with real data and real user profiles before go-live.

4) IT support - Expect more support center call volume and staff accordingly during go-live. You will also want to make sure you have clearly defined escalation procedures in place for ERP issues that your support staff isn't able to handle. 5) Contingency planning - What will you do if your system does go down? Do you have manual processes you can revert to if needed?


Advantages:-


Integration:-

Integration can be the highest benefit of them all. The only real project aim for implementing Chain ERP is reducing data redudancy and redudant data entry. If this is set as a goal, to automate inventory posting to G/L, then it might be a successful project. ERP does not improve the individual efficiency of users, so if they expect it, it will be a big disappointment.  ERP improves the cooperation of users.

Efficiency:-

Generally, ERP software focuses on integration and tend to not care about the daily needs of people. I think individual efficiency can suffer by implementing Chain ERP. Cost reduction:-  It reduces cost only if the company took accounting and reporting seriously even before implementation and had put a lot of manual effort in it.


Accuracy:-

No. People are accurate, not software. What Chain ERP does is makes the lives of inaccurate people or organization a complete hell and maybe forces them to be accurate (which means hiring more people or distributing work better), or it falls.

Disadvantages:

Expensive:-

This entails software, hardware, implementation, consultants, training, etc. Or you can hire a programmer or two as an employee and only buy business consulting from an outside source, do all customization and end-user training inside. That can be cost-effective.

Not very flexible:

It depends. ERP can be configured to almost anything. In Navision one can develop almost anything in days. Other software may not be flexible.
