As a company grows, so does the amount of data it generates, as well as the number of data sources it must monitor. Managing all of that data across multiple platforms becomes prohibitively expensive, time-consuming and error-prone. That is when the need for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system arises. ERP systems are used by businesses today to improve user-efficiency and productivity as well as to reduce costs. This course will introduce you to enterprise resource planning and how it facilitates information flow between an organisation's various business functions.
Learn about ERP project management, challenges, risks and best practices. The scope definition and best practices, as well as the project implementation challenges and risks, will then be discussed. Following that, a five-step risk management strategy will be highlighted. Then, you will learn about ‘change management’ following the implementation of an ERP system in an organisation. You will learn about the various factors that influence the success or failure of ERP implementation along with the major reasons for resistance to change.
Finally, discover more about inventory optimisation methods and the reduction of production waste. The emerging internet-driven supply chain and the challenges of supply chains will be highlighted. You will then learn about supplier relationship management (SRM) and its importance for an organisation. We highlight the five main areas of SRM application: areas of supplier collaboration, forms of supplier collaboration, technologies of supplier collaboration and the activities of SRM 5.0. With the increased rate of streamlining and integration of organisations around the world, it is critical for any employee, regardless of department, to be aware of the benefits and need for an ERP to maintain smooth operations in an organisation. Enrol now to take advantage of this opportunity to arm yourself with this wealth of knowledge and the skills to handle the complexities of any ERP system.
