ENN570 Enterprise Resource Planning
Credit Points 12
Availabilities Last run in 2016
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate internal
and external information across an entire organization, for
example, embracing manufacturing, sales and service, customer
relationship management, procurement, finance/accounting,
maintenance, inventories and interacting with suppliers. The
purpose of ERP is to facilitate the flow of information between all
business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and
manage effective connections to outside stakeholders. ERP
activities can be automated by the use of an integrated software
application. This unit is designed to equip you with advanced
knowledge of various processes that are essential to running
manufacturing and service organisations and how ERP
integrates these various functions into one complete system to
streamline processes and information across the entire
organization. The central feature of all ERP systems is a shared
database that supports multiple functions used by different
business units. In practice, this means that employees in
different divisions can rely on the same information for their
specific needs.
