MODULE OBJECTIVE
 Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an integrated computer-based
system used to manage internal and external resources including tangible
assets, financial resources, materials, and human resources. It is a
software architecture whose purpose is to facilitate the flow of information
between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization
and manage the connections to outside stakeholders. Built on a
centralized database and normally utilizing a common computing platform,
ERP systems consolidate all business operations into a uniform and
enterprise wide system environment.
 ERP Systems centralize the data in one place. Benefits of this include:
 Eliminates the problem of synchronizing changes between multiple
systems - consolidation of finance, marketing and sales, human resource,
and manufacturing applications
 Permits control of business processes that cross functional boundaries
 Provides top-down view of the enterprise (no "islands of information"), real
time information is available to management anywhere, anytime to make
proper decisions.
 ERP reduces the risk of loss of sensitive data by consolidating multiple
permissions and security models into a single structure.
 Shorten production lead-time and delivery time
 Facilitating business learning, empowering, and building common visions
Teaching/Learning Approach
The students will learn through a combination of face - to- face contact and
guided study. Personal contact sessions will include Presentations, Case Study
analysis and Quizzes.
Guided study will include text readings and the use of a wide range internet
based resources.
