Editor's Notes

  1. At the core of an ERP software system is a single comprehensive database, which streamlines the flow of information throughout a business.The database collects data from and feeds data into modular applications supporting virtually all of a company’s business activities.
  2. In 1960,inventory Management and control is the combination of information technology and business processes of maintaining the appropriate level of stock in a warehouse.In 1970's,materials Requirement Planning (MRP) utilizes software applications for scheduling production processes. MRP generates schedules for the operations and raw material purchases based on the production requirements of finished goods.In 1980's.manufacturing Requirements Planning or MRP utilizes software applications for coordinating manufacturing processes, from product planning, parts purchasing.In1990s ,enterprise Resource Planning or ERP uses multi-module application software for improving the performance of the internal business processes.
  3. Inventory Management and control is the combination of information technology and business processes of maintaining the appropriate level of stock in a warehouse. The activities of inventory management include identifying inventory requirements, setting targets, providing replenishment techniques and options, monitoring item usages, reconciling the inventory balances, and reporting inventory status.
  4. Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) utilizes software applications for scheduling production processes. MRP generates schedules for the operations and raw material purchases based on the production requirements of finished goods, the structure of the production system, the current inventories levels and the lot sizing procedure for each operation.
  5. MRP II utilizes software applications for coordinating manufacturing processes, from product planning, parts purchasing, inventory control to product distribution.
  6. ERP uses multi-module application software for improving the performance of the internal business processes. ERP systems often integrates business activities across functional departments, from product planning, parts purchasing, inventory control, product distribution, fulfillment, to order tracking. ERP software systems may include application modules for supporting marketing, finance, accounting and human resources.
