Merlion Food Limited (Merlion) is the worlds leading nutrition, health and wellness company. Merlions mission of "Healthy Food, Healthy Life" is to provide consumers with the best tasting, most nutritious choices in a wide range of food and beverage (F&B) categories and eating occasions, from morning to night. Merlion is a multinational Fortune Global 500 company headquartered in Singapore but with research and development (R&D), manufacturing, and marketing and sales facilities in more than 80 countries. It is listed on the Mainboard of Singapore Exchange with an annual revenue well in excess of SGD $2 billion. Merlion has recently established a new division in its Singapores headquarter to manufacture health and wellness (H&W) snack bars. Recognizing busy professionals desire for healthy snacks that could double up as a quick and wholesome meal, Merlion believes that its new H&W snack bars division will produce the winning formula to capture a slice of this lucrative market. Already, Merlion has secured a 10 years long-term contract to supply its H&W snack bars to the Singapore Armed Forces as part of the combat rations issued to soldiers. Merlion has recently completed the research and development works for two H&W snack bar product lines, namely the Classic Nutri Bar and the Premium Power Bar. It is in the process of building a SGD $10 million state-of-the-arts factory in the Tuas Bay Walk food industry estate managed by the Jurong Town Corporation.

As part of the startup effort, the management of the H&W snack bars division has decided to develop a customized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to automate marketing and sales as well as supply chain management. An open tender exercise for the first phase of the ERP system was conducted earlier in July and the SGD $1 million turnkey contract was awarded to Kent Ridge Technology (KRT). Your KRT project team has been assigned to this challenging yet exciting project.

As H&W snack bars must be manufactured fresh without the use of preservative, their shelf life is severely limited. As such, sales and manufacturing processes must be tightly integrated to minimize wastage yet at the same time maximize sales opportunities, e.g., catering for sudden demand surge. Merlion has thus decided to develop a customized ERP system that will fit its exact business and operation requirements. The ultimate objective is to ensure that the entire sale and manufacturing process can be made most effective and efficient.

3. Supply chain management For logistic and raw materials purchasing functions. 4. Manufacturing resource planning For manufacturing planning and operation functions. 5. Human resource management For employee, payroll and training functions. Since an ERP system must cater to almost every single business functions in an organization, it is a very complex and costly system to implement. But when successfully implemented, it can derive numerous benefits for the organization such as productivity improvement, inventory reduction, order management improvement and revenue/profit increase. More importantly, ERP allows an organization to tightly integrate electronic commerce with its internal sales and marketing, and manufacturing processes.
Purchasing Function
An ERP system helps to integrate and automate all these functions ensuring that they are performed with maximum efficiency and effectiveness. For instance, it is often difficult to forecast future sales and thus production scheduling can be a headache. This problem also implicates the stocking of raw materials. An ERP system can improve sales forecast by channeling historical sales information into the forecast function and also enabling incoming sales order to be updated in production scheduling, demand management and material purchasing. These improvements maximize production efficiency and minimize material wastage.

B.2.3. Customer Relationship, Finance Resource and Outbound Supply Chain Management in Enterprise Resource Planning
The entire sales order process typically involves customer relationship, finance resource and outbound supply chain management tightly integrated in an ERP system. A high-level view of the process is depicted in Figure B.3. Start Pre-Sales Activities Sales Order Processing Inventory Sourcing

Pre-sales activities involve either sales inquiry or price quotation. A sales inquiry provides the customer with a price list for the requested items without any guarantee. A price quotation guarantees that the buyer will be able to purchase the requested items at the quoted price within a specified period of time. The quotation usually does not guarantee availability until the customer has issued a purchase order to convert the quotation into an actual sales order. However, it is possible to provide an indicative lead time for the customers consideration.

Sales order processing involve confirming the requested items and the associated quantities. It is possible to provide further price discount at this stage. For instance, if the customer has ordered a larger quantity of a specific item, a higher volume discount might be given such that the actual price is lower than the original quoted price. The credit control department will also check customers currently available credit and take the appropriate action. For instance, if the customer does not have sufficient available credit, the customer might be asked to 1) pay off existing invoices first; 2) reduce new order amount; or 3) pay partial/full amount in advance for the new order. Inventory sourcing typically involves an available-to-promise (ATP) check. Inventory balance currently in the warehouse that has not been reserved is always used to fulfill a new order first. If there is any shortfall, it will be necessary to determine whether planned production schedule is able to meet the demand. Alternatively, it might be necessary to increase planned production subject to availability of all required raw materials and manpower. When current inventory balance is insufficient to fulfill a new order but planned production is able to meet the shortfall, a backorder will be created and customer will be advised of the confirmed lead time. In the event that current inventory balance is insufficient and planned production is not expected to meet the demand in a timely fashion, customer should be allowed to amend or cancel the order without penalty. If a backorder is indeed created, current inventory balance that have been used to partially fulfill a new order must be held in reserve and cannot be used to fulfill other new orders. If it is necessary to divert these reserved inventory balance to fulfill urgent new orders, the organization must ensure that planned production are still able to meet the confirmed lead time provided to customer. Delivery involves the generation and release of the picking order, packing order and shipping order so that the relevant outbound logistic tasks may be performed. Sometime, a new order involving backorder might be shipped separately. In this case, those items available in current inventory balance will be shipped to the customer immediately. Those backorder items will be shipped separately after production. It is also possible to pack and ship items from the same order separately and differently. Sometime a customer might place a large order to be shipped to different destinations. Once the items have been physically shipped, i.e., the relevant shipping documentation has been obtained, the accounts receivable department will create an invoice and send it to the customer. This is the billing process. The credit term will typically provide a certain percent of discount if customer settles the invoice within a specified duration. For instance, a credit term of 2-10/net-30 means customer will receive 2% discount if they pay within 10 days or thereafter must pay the full amount within 30 days of the invoice date. Payment involves recording the receipt of actual payments made by customers. If a customer fails to make payment within the credit term, the account receivable department should commence dunning action and inform the credit control department to reject new orders from the customer. It is clear that the entire sales order process involves the entire organization from the salesperson in the front office all the way to the store man and production worker in the warehouse and factory floor. Without an ERP system, timely and accurate communication of the various sales order information would be almost impossible.

A fictitious H&W snack bars manufacturer known as HBar will be used to illustrate each step of the process in an ERP system. HBar produces only two types of H&W snack bars namely Alpha and Beta. HBar has a factory with only one production line working on a single shift of 8 hours in 5 days work weeks excluding public holidays. The production and packing parameters of HBar products are listed in Table B.1.

A simple and commonly used sales forecasting technique is to use a prior periods sales figures as the baseline and then adjust these baseline figures for current market condition. For instance, if we are forecasting the sales from July to December 2011, we will use the corresponding sales figure from July to December 2010 as a baseline. Sometime, it is desirable to take into consideration the prevailing sales trend by looking at the moving average sales figures for quarterly (short term), half yearly (medium term) and yearly (long term). A short term moving average more closely reflects demand changes but might be sensitive to sudden or one-off demand surge or plunge. A longer term moving average can help to smoothen out these surges and plunges. A sample sales forecast for HBar is shown in Table B.3. Note that all sales figures are in number of shipping cases.

Whenever there are promotion sales in the previous year, the additional sales figures will be deducted from the overall sales figures to derive the base figures for the previous year. We use these figures to derive the base project. Thereafter, we will add in any planned promotion figures to derive the final sales forecast figures. Once the sales figures have been forecasted, we can proceed to use these figures for sales and operations planning. The output of this step is a production plan designed to balance market demand with production capacity. That is, how the factory floor can efficiently produce enough bars to meet the forecasted sales. A sample sales and operation plan is shown in Table B.4. This plan assumes that HBar has a daily production capacity of 400 cases per working day. Note that all sales figures are in number of shipping cases.

Table B.4 HBar sales and operation plan for July to December 2011.
At the beginning of July 2011, the projected beginning inventory level is 100 cases. The sales forecast figures are taken from Table B.3. The production plan is typically entered by the planner base on his or her experience, observing the effect of different production figures on the inventory level and capacity utilization. The general goal is to develop a production plan that meets demand without exceeding capacity and maintaining a reasonable inventory level. The inventory level at the end of each month is calculated as the difference between the sales forecast figure and the production plan figures (including the beginning inventory level). In this example, the planner has maintained a month end inventory level of 100 cases from July to October as the safety stock to meet demand surge without altering the production plan. In November, the safety stock is increased to 500 in anticipation of a year-end demand surge in December. The capacity utilization for a particular month can be calculated by dividing the production plan by the available capacity. In general, capacity utilization is kept below 100% to cater for production losses in case of product changeover, equipment breakdown or other unexpected problems. Finally, the sales and operation plan needs to be disaggregated into plans for individual products base on the breakdown percent specified by the planner. In this case, the breakdown for Alpha and Beta is 70%/30%. The sales and operation plan will then be used as input to the demand management step, which involves detailed scheduling and materials requirements planning processes. The output of demand management is the master production schedule (MPS) for all finished goods. This schedule is actually derived from the monthly production planning figures in Table B.4 by splitting them into finer time periods by week and by day. A sample production plan by week for August 2011 is shown in Table B.5.

The monthly demand input is taken from the production plan figures in Table B.4. The MPS weekly demand for individual products is calculated by dividing the respective monthly

demand figures by the number of working days in the month. This intermediate figure is then multiplied by the number of working days in the week. Once we have derived the MPS weekly demand, we can split the figures further by week. This will provide the MPS daily demand. A sample production plan by day for Week 1 of August 2011 is shown in Table B.6.

Table B.6 HBar daily production plan for Week 1 of August 2011.
The MPS daily demand for individual products is calculated by dividing the respective monthly demand figures by the number of working days in the month. Note that due to rounding errors when performing arithmetic divisions, the MPS weekly and daily demand figures may not always sum up correctly when compared against each other and the monthly demand figures. This is typically not a major concern since the excess cases can be kept as inventory balance. Otherwise, manual adjustment can be made to the MPS demand figures. If a manual adjustment is necessary, the easier approach is to make a one-time adjustment on the last working day of the month. For instance, in Table B.5, we would adjust the MPS weekly demand for Alpha in Week 5 (29/8-31/8) from 502 to 498. We would also adjust the MPS daily demand for Alpha in the last working day of August 2011, i.e., 31 August, from 251 to 243. After these adjustments, the MPS weekly demand figures and MPS daily demand figures would all sum up properly to 5263. Now that we have the MPS monthly demand figures, we can proceed to perform materials requirements planning (MRP). This process determines the required quantity and timing of the purchase of raw materials needed to support the MPS. In order to prepare the MRP record, we need to know the lead time and lot size for each type of raw materials. Lead time is the cumulative time required from the point the purchase order is received by the supplier until the point the raw materials have been moved into the manufacturers warehouse ready for production use. Lot size is the unit bulk quantity in which the manufacturer must purchase the raw materials from the supplier. In other words, the purchase order for raw materials must be in broad lot size. For instance, the lead time for oats is 2 weeks and the lot size is 8000 kg. The manufacturer must order oats in multiple broad lot size of 8000 kg and the oats will be ready for use in 2 week time after the supplier has received the purchase order. Each shipping case of HBar bars weights 12 kg and the given BOM is for 200 kg batch (see Table B.1 and B.2 respectively). A sample MPR record for oats to produce Alpha and Beta bars in August 2011 is shown in Table B.7. The MPS (cases) figures are taken from the weekly production plan in Table B.5. We need to convert these figures into the MPS (kg batches) by taking the cases figure and multiplying it by 12 kg and then dividing the intermediate figure by 200 kg. Since the oats requirement is the same for both Alpha and Beta, i.e., 100 kg of oats for every 200 kg batch of bars, calculating the gross requirements (kg) figures is easy. To derive the gross requirements (kg) figures, we simply sum the MPS (kg batches) for both Alpha and Beta and then multiply this intermediate figure by 100 kg.

Table B.7 HBar MPR record for oats for August 2011.
The scheduled receipts (kg) figures show the amount of oats that have already been ordered previously and the expected arrival dates. Since the lead time for oats is 2 weeks, the scheduled receipts of oats in Week 1 and Week 2 of August would have been ordered in Week 3 and Week 4 of July respectively. The planned receipts (kg) figures show the amount of oats that have been planned for ordering in August, i.e., the orders have NOT been placed yet. Since the lead time for oats is always 2 weeks, the planned receipts for Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5 of August would have to be ordered in Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3 of August, respectively, on plan. The on hand (kg) figures show the amount of oats that is available at the start of the next working week. The first number 3700 kg in this row means that at the start of Week 1, there are 3700 kg of oats available for production. To determine the amount of oats that is available at the start of Week 2, we will add the amount of oats available at the start of Week 1 to the amount of oats that are in receipt in Week 1. The gross requirements (kg) figure for Week 1 is then subtracted from the total amount of oats giving 1000 kg. Thus, the amount of oats available at the end of Week 1 or correspondingly at the start of Week 2 is 1000 kg. The planned orders (kg) figures are recommended by the MPR calculation and are the output from the entire MPR process. These figures tell the planner what to order to produce the MPS planned output and when to order it. The planner may make manual adjustments to ensure that there are sufficient raw materials on hand in case of delayed deliveries. An ERP system can also automate the scheduling of the production lines based on the MPS, scheduling of the required manpower for the production lines, accounting of the production cost and much more. But these are not required for the first phase of Merlions ERP system.

a 30 minutes changeover time to switch from producing one type of snack bars to another. The factory operates on two shifts: Daily normal shift is 9 hours 30 minutes with 1 hour lunch break and a 30 minutes end-of-shift clean up from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. o Each production line operates for 8 hours during the normal shift. Optional overtime shift is 4 hours 30 minutes with a 30 minutes end-of-shift clean up from 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm. o Each production line operates for 4 hours during the normal shift. If the production line changeover is done at the end of each shift, there will not be any loss in capacity. This is because the 30 minutes clean up time allocated at the end of each shift can be used to perform changeover. Merlions factory will operate on a 5 working days week starting on Monday. All official public holidays are considered as non-working days. The production and packing parameters of Merlions snack bars are listed in Table C.1.

Merlions snack bars have a maximum shelf life of 12 months from the manufacturing date: It has a display until date that is 10 months from the manufacturing date. Retailers are required to remove any unsold snack bars after the display until date. It has an expiry date that is 11 months from the manufacturing date. The 1 month of shelf life between the display until date and the expiry date allows consumers sufficient time to consume the snack bars fresh. The final 1 months of shelf life after the expiry date provides a buffer for consumers to consume the snack bars safely.
To ensure that its downstream supply chain partners have sufficient time to distributes its snack bars and display them on shop shelves, Merlion ensures that all manufactured snack bars are kept in its warehouse for not more than 4 months. This policy gives its downstream supply chain partners a distribution and sales period of at least 6 months before the display until date is reached.
