Definition of ERP

ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) is a flexible integration of application software that processes the core information needed to operate a company, including accounting, personnel, purchase, sales, transport, delivery, manufacturing, and logistics.
The Gartner Group, the consulting firm that introduce the concept of ERP system, defines ERP system as “a next-generation system of applications that enable the business processes of the enterprise to work in harmony.”
In other words, it refers to a management innovation technique that maximizes productivity by rebuilding the various management systems that were operated independently across all sectors of the company such as personnel, finance, production, and logistics, into an integrated system. In the past, each subsystem supported handling tasks in the field and processed information for better decision-making. But information was not connected to other sectors at the same time since it was operated separately, so it caused inconvenience and waste. ERP is designed to address these challenges, allowing data inputted from each department to be used simultaneously by all departments of the company.
ERP is not completely new, but it is a significant improvement in concept. It is an advanced system which compared to the Material Requirement Program (MRP) that emerged in the early 1980s and the MRPII developed in the late 1980s. In other words, starting with the proposed MRP to facilitate material management and purchase activities in the company’s production management sector, it is being developed as a company-wide concept for mutual information integration among all organizations through the transition period of MRPII.

The software supplied to manage work process is called the ERP package, which automatically connects to the entire system when data is entered from one system, enabling integrated operation without interface process. And new versions of ERP package are supplied periodically, making it easier to use new technologies, improving productivity with advanced business processes, ensuring reliability and safety by applying it to many companies, simplifying and standardizing operations with consistency and integration of data, and providing quick decision information through real-time processing. Therefore, the introduction of ERP package can achieve both advanced processes and state-of-the-art information technologies to maximize business efficiency. It means that ERP system solves the company’s concerns about responding to the rapidly changing business environment and the development of information technology at the same time.

Purpose of Introduction of ERP

The purpose of ERP is to ensure that every organization responds to customer needs consistently and quickly. However, most companies maintain a functional hierarchical organizational structure such as sales, production, accounting, and general affairs, following the efficiency-oriented control methods that have been implemented for a long time. This organizational structure and operation method have caused many obstacles and problems in business cooperation and communication between departments. The need for an integrated business processing system, such as ERP, has increased, particularly in the face of increasing change and complexity, as an entire organization faces many difficulties in effectively responding to new customer needs.
