Introduction to Enterprise Systems and BPMN

Human Capital Management (HCM) in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems primarily benefits the Human Resources department.

A key challenge in ERP implementation is integration with existing legacy systems.

Business Intelligence (BI) enhances ERP systems by converting raw data into actionable insights.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in ERP focuses on managing customer interactions.

ERP systems have a modular structure to offer flexible, unified components tailored to business needs.

ERP scalability means the system can grow and adapt to changing business needs.

ERP systems automate reporting processes and centralize data for more efficient compliance reporting.

ERP streamlines supply chain activities and interactions with suppliers by integrating data.

Allows multiple process paths to be followed simultaneously.

Descriptive information to clarify process steps.

Redesigning workflows for better efficiency.

An activity the customer pays for.

Activities that don't directly contribute to customer value.

Evaluating process efficiency and identifying areas for improvement.

Customer feedback helps identify & address issues in processes that don't meet customer needs.

Lower operational costs and improved efficiency result from reducing non-value-added activities.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) focuses on determining material needs based on production and sales plans.

Inventory turnover is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory.

The Regional Sales Performance Report helps analyze sales trends by region, guiding decision-making.

Contribution margin analysis determines product profitability by subtracting variable costs from revenue.

Lead time, the time between ordering and receiving materials, impacts how quickly stock is replenished to meet demand.

Balanced pricing aligns inventory levels with demand.

Monitoring stock levels helps avoid stockouts and lost sales opportunities.

The Summary Sales Report (ZVC2) provides aggregated daily sales data for performance analysis.

When stockouts occur in ERPsim, customer satisfaction drops, sales are lost, and the company's performance suffers. This is due to unmet customer demand and potential loss of goodwill.

Overproducing in ERPsim leads to increased inventory costs and risks of unsold stock. Excess inventory ties up capital and can become obsolete, harming profitability.

Contribution margin in ERPsim shows the profitability of each product and region by subtracting variable costs from revenue. It reveals how much each sale contributes to covering fixed costs and generating profit.

This report evaluates the overall performance of the ERPsim company, considering profitability and risk factors. It helps assess the company's health and make strategic decisions.

In ERPsim, marketing drives demand in regions where stock is available. By promoting products strategically, it influences inventory levels and reduces the risk of stockouts.

ERPsim strives to ensure enough inventory is available to meet customer demand. This balance prevents stockouts and keeps customers satisfied, while also avoiding excessive production and inventory costs.

The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) run in ERPsim calculates material needs based on production plans and demand forecasts. It helps ensure sufficient raw materials are available for production.

ERPsim relies on real-time data integration to consolidate all business processes into one system. This provides managers with timely and accurate information, supporting informed decision-making.

The core functions in ERPsim are Planning, Procurement, Production, and Sales.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) calculates needed materials based on production schedules and demand forecasts.

This report measures the profitability of products and regions by comparing revenue and direct costs.

ERPsim balances production and marketing by ensuring enough inventory to meet sales demand.

This report provides sales revenue, customer-specific data, and regional breakdowns.

Liquidity planning in ERPsim forecasts cash inflows and outflows to maintain financial stability.

Stockouts lead to lower customer satisfaction, lost sales opportunities, and potential damage to your business.

Updating inventory levels and generating accounting documents are the primary effects of posting a goods receipt in production.

Production scheduling enhances efficiency by effectively allocating resources to meet demand within planned timelines.

Capacity utilization measures how effectively production resources are being used, indicating the efficiency of operations.

Tracking planned production against actual output is crucial for identifying delays or inefficiencies in the production process.

MRP calculates the exact materials needed based on demand forecasts to ensure all required components are available for production.

A work center is a specific location within production where value-added operations happen, transforming raw materials into finished goods.

Order settlement allocates the cost of production to specific products or projects, ensuring accurate accounting and cost tracking.

Delayed production orders lead to increased lead times and potential stockouts, impacting overall production efficiency and customer satisfaction.
