Process Improvement Between Company Departments with the Integration of ERP and CRM Software Programs

This study aims to examine the processes of a company that uses Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, which are known as integrated systems, and improve these processes in an enterprise that produces decorative acoustic suspended building products. The company started to use Netsis software as an ERP system years ago. Then, it purchased the LogoCRM software, which could work integrated into Netsis software, to ensure information flow between these systems easily. Since it is known that the company still experiences information flow issues between the departments although the ERP and CRM systems of the company are integrated, the study tried to minimize these deficiencies in the information flow between the production and sales & marketing departments. The problems experienced between the departments of the company that we work with were determined by the interviews with the ERP and CRM system users in the company, and the ERP-CRM software was customized to be suitable for the use of the company. A user-friendly interface has been designed in the CRM software, and by providing integration between the software, it is possible to see the stock balance information instantly in the CRM software. In addition, in the CRM software that will work integrated with ERP, a smart coding algorithm was developed to minimize errors by considering the possibility of the sales team misreading the product cards, and it was aimed to reduce user errors by minimizing the screen interventions of the users. In the study, ModelEditor was used for the improvements made in the SQL-based CRM software. With this study, communication problems between sales-marketing and production departments were reduced by providing ERP-CRM integration. As a result of the improvements made, a common language was developed between the departments, reducing the amount of faulty production, and time savings were achieved by reinforcing the cooperation between departments.

Industrial Internet of Things on integrated preventive maintenance and enterprise-resource-planning systems: A case study of fastener forming manufacturing processes

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has evolved industrial operations to be more efficient and reliable. The fastener forming process (FFP) used to rely on the judgments of in-process inspectors and experienced operators. Since no critical information was transmitted between machines, the machining status during production was unable to reveal. Now, with sensors installed in the machines of FFP, manufacturing data can be collected, analyzed, and responded to the machines. This IIoT-embedded FFP can not only carry out real-time data, pre-processing, and feature engineering but also enable optimally selecting classification algorithms for preventive maintenance. Consequently, the FFP establishes machine-health indicators for the production site and the heading process recognizes the abnormal situations between punches. The operator-delayed response leads to a great amount of loss that can be avoided. Besides, with the integration of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and manufacturing execution system (MES), this IIoT-embedded FFP converts receiving customer orders into work orders and coordinates operations and sales within enterprises. This system integration catches the status of various production indicators and further advances accurate materials preparation and inventory costs control. Overall, this IIoT-embedded FFP system becomes no necessity for increasing inventory and reserving backlog funds to cope with the impact of a vast number of scrap products. Finally, other types of machining processes or systems can adopt this systematic approach in the future.

SuccERP: The design science based integration of ECS and ERP in post-implementation stage

The existing studies of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) are primarily focusing on the adoption and implementation stages, the post-implementation stage has received less attention in comparison. However, most enterprises have been struggling under the post-implementation stage. This work aims to review the state-of-the-art issues of ERP in the post-implementation stage, including communication, legacy system, collaboration, and the manager is hard to monitor the performance. Based on the Design Science (DS) method, we highlight how to offset the lack of an ERP system and ECS according to the guidelines of DS, and show the exhaustive steps for implementing the artifact-SuccERP. Our research is rigorous and interpretive by considering the steps of the DS and the functions of Software Engineering. Further, we explore multiple ERP systems to summarize the difference in authentication, initial data, and specific procedures aspects, after that, we consider the two most popular procedures (order creation and bill of purchase creation) as examples to demonstrate and evaluate the proposed artifact—SuccERP in the result. We propose the complete and practical research for solving the issues from previous theoretical results of an ERP, and to show experimentally that the proposed SuccERP is easy to maintain by applying the Cyclomatic Complexity and the Maintainability Index as metrics. This study is a milestone that allows ERP research to move from the theoretical stage to integrating, creating things that serve a human purpose, and dealing with the issues presented by previous works practically.

The Mutual Relation Between Enterprise Resource Planning and Knowledge Management: A Review

In order to improve the communications inside and outside the enterprise, efficient utilization of enterprise capitals and make improvements in the services and products of enterprise, many enterprises have turned to use enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. On the other hand, the more the role of knowledge assets in enterprises grows, the higher the position of knowledge management (KM) in the enterprises becomes and it gradually becomes fundamental to success. The role of knowledge management in today’s knowledge-based world has attracted considerable attention to this topic in industry and academia. The use of ERP and knowledge management in enterprises for the continuation of effective functioning in knowledge-based economy arises the need to study the interactions between ERP and knowledge management and also the possibility of the integration of ERP and KM systems.

By studying a wide range of academic literature on KM and ERP, this paper aims to review the relation between knowledge management and enterprise resources planning and analyze the opportunities of future research in this area.

Does Integration of Business Processes and ERP Improves Supply Chain Performances? Evidence from Indian Capital Goods Industry

In today’s competitive market environment coupled with post effect of globalization, managing supply chains is critical to any business. Rather than becoming function-oriented, firms are now selectively deploying valuable resources on automated processes operated through technology-enabled ‘information communication’ platforms to improve performance. However, there are visible gaps in integrating business processes with information-enabled domain like enterprise resource planning (ERP), which has the potential to bring in the radical improvement in firm’s performance. Again, integration always does not come with positive results, specifically to Indian capital goods sector. Under this consideration, an attempt has been made to explore this unknown domain with conceptualization of a hypothesized model. Data for validation of this study were collected through questionnaire from 25 different units under Indian capital goods industry and relationship proposed in the hypothesized framework is tested by using structural equation modelling. Analysis of result indicates a favourable disposition of the model framework wherein synergy between business processes and ERP, on an integrated mode, can fetch higher level of performance. Considering multiple performance-related issues deterring growth of India’s capital goods industry, it is strongly recommended to synergize business processes under information system domain in order to make business sustainable.

Cloud-based architecture of service-oriented MES for subcontracting and partnership exchanges integration: A game theory approach

• An agile cloud-based architecture for integrating ERP, MES and SPX. • Optimal selection of main contractor and subcontractor based on game theory. • Providing distributed production inside distributed enterprises. • Distribution of required services in an intelligent mode. Subcontracting and Partnership Exchanges (SPXs) have been developed to increase networking among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. SPXs provide technical information centers, advanced mechanisms and matchmaking between main contractors, suppliers and subcontractors. In general, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) have not adequate efficiency to solve the required enterprise's goals. Thus, this study proposed an agile cloud-based architecture of ERP, MES and SPX integration. This architecture supports distributed enterprises. The amazing points of the mentioned architecture abilities are the optimal selection of main contractors and subcontractors based on game theory approach. The main contractor and subcontractor selection decision in SPX center are modeled using the dynamic, sequential and noncooperative game model. The Nash equilibrium of the proposed game provides an optimized payoff function for different players against the combination of their strategies. The results show the architecture can present the distribution of required services in an intelligent mode. Also, the enabler factors such as cost, rapid elasticity, quality, response and so on have been considered to agility validation of this new architecture.

Risks Assessment using Fuzzy Petri Nets for ERP Extension in Small and Medium Enterprises

In this paper a Fuzzy Petri Net model (FPN) is developed and tested to assess the risks involved during Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) adoption in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This model pertains only to the risks and risk factors identified in the extension phase of ERP adoption in SMEs. In other words, this work studied only the risk perception relating to extending the ERP integration between the supply chain partners. This paper addresses the problems of risk identification and assessment during the extension phase. There are two motives for this research namely, one to define the ERP extension risks and two to assess and quantify the risks in a simple yet robust model. The uniqueness of this paper is three dimensional because in addition to presenting and quantifying the risk values in FPN, the risks are categorized and further graded for decision support to SME stakeholders. Realignment and standardization of SMEs business process, lack of support from larger enterprises and incompatibility issues are perceived to be most critical risk factors.

ERP System versus Stand‐Alone Enterprise Applications in the Mitigation of Operational Glitches

ABSTRACTBusiness function‐specific stand‐alone enterprise applications (SEAs) are displacing functionally integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, despite strong empirical support for the business benefits of the latter. This study explores the conditions under which it may be more effective to use a set of SEAs instead of a single‐suite ERP system, and vice versa. Based on Organizational Information Processing Theory, we expect differences in effectiveness to grow in prominence when the uncertainty of the operating environment increases, that is, when operational glitches in production processes become more frequent. Extending the existing literature, we postulate that high functional differentiation is a precondition for SEAs to be more effective than an ERP system, hypothesizing that the level of functional interdependence ultimately determines which type of software is superior for a given production process. We test our hypotheses using data collected from 163 make‐to‐order (MTO) production processes nested within 73 manufacturing plants and seven supply chains of complex, high‐tech machinery. Results show that when functional interdependence is low, the negative effect of operational glitches on delivery performance is effectively mitigated in MTO production processes wherein process‐related information is managed predominantly using SEAs; conversely, when functional interdependence is high, using an ERP system is more effective. Our findings offer practical guidelines as to when to use SEAs versus an ERP system while also integrating and updating the findings of earlier empirical research, in which each has been analyzed separately.

Antecedents of Enterprise Resource Planning and its Impact on Firm Perfromance with Supply Chain Integration as Mediating factor

In today's knowledge based globalized business world, the contemporary organizations are thriving to apply the innovative as well as modern business techniques and tools in their products and processes regularly. Besides, the organizations give sufficient significance while building up their business organisms and operations in order to utilize the innovative methodologies alongside their other primary procedures. Based on the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and prior literature on management of supply chain, this paper analyzed an integrated model of ERP assimilation and integration by using Saudi Arabian firms as a case. This paper addresses the questions (1) there is a positive link between technological, organizational and environmental factors and ERP implementation, and (2) that ERP implementation encourages SCI (Supply Chain Integration) and performance. The paper empirically examines the antecedents of ERP implementation on SCI which will lead towards the firm performance by using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) as an approach. Moreover, ERP is used as a mediating factor by using quantitative data, collected from Tadawul. Tadawul is Saudi Arabian stock exchange, in which 167 firms are registered. The results of the paper, may add to the hypothetical comprehension of accomplishing a change in supply chain management, and might leave some imperative implications for the firms motivated by enhancing their supply chain performance. It is also found that the linkage from ERP implementation to SCI is very significant.
