Fashionista Textiles Ltd. (FT Ltd.) is a well established organization dealing in

the manufacturing of apparel, since 1965. With a current workforce of about
500 employees, FT Ltd. has built a strong reputation in its market. The
organization is well known for its products and quality and has also earned the
trust and commitment of its employees and customers.

However, as compared to its contemporaries, FT Ltd. is still following traditional

file processing system in all its functional departments. Thus most of the
processes lack standardization automation and integration. With increasing
competition and advancement in technology the management has sensed the
need to overhaul its process system to ensure better resource optimization and
greater profitability. Consequently, the management has decided to introduce
ERP system in its organization.

Based on the above scenario prepare a detailed report consisting your

responses to below mentioned questions.
What could have been the probable shortcomings faced by FT Ltd. in the
Traditional File Processing system? (10 Marks)
How do you think the ERP system will benefit the organization as well as its
employees? (10 Marks)
Which ERP implementation approach would you suggest to FT Ltd. so that it
gains the maximum benefits? Justify your suggestion. (15 Marks)
With FT Ltd opting for Cloud ERP (SaaS), which type of cloud would you
recommend to ensure the best results? (15 Marks)
With the introduction of the new system what strategies should FT Ltd. adopt
to overcome any possible resistance to change? (15 Marks)
How can FT Ltd apply Lewins Three-step Model as well as Kotters Eight-step
Plan to manage the drastic change that shall occur with the implementation of
ERP system? (15 Marks)

A year after implementation of ERP, FT Ltd. conducted a survey among its employees to test the
effectiveness of the ERP system. The result of the survey is as shown in the observed table below.
Effectiveness of FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS
ERP Marketing Finance Operations Total Employees
No Improvement 60 90 50 200
in Efficiency
Improvement in 90 110 100 300
Effeciency
Total Employees 150 150 150 500

Using Chi Square Test, comment on whether the effectiveness of ERP system is
independent of the functional departments or not. Consider 2 degrees of
freedom at 5% level of significance. (Critical Value of chi-square for 2 degrees
of freedom at 5% level of significance is 5.991) (20 Marks)
Hint: Null Hypothesis- Effectiveness of ERP and Functional Departments are
independent.
Alternate Hypothesis- Effectiveness of ERP and Functional Departments are dependent.
