Enterprise Resource Planning

ERP is a generic term used to describe a


comprehensive information system designed to
integrate all the business processes found in an
enterprise.

Efficiency and productivity are improved through the
integration of information and the removal of duplicate
information and processes.

Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) makes timely
information easily available for analysis and decision-
making in companies of all sizes.
ERP systems monitor business functions in real-time to
provide timely information in manufacturing, finance,
distribution, sales or human resources. A strength of ERP
systems is that they integrate data across all functions.
For example, a manufacturing supervisor would be notified
when raw material inventory falls below a set floor
