Learning Objectives
• To evaluate different and popular modules of an ERP package like finance, manufacturing, plant maintenance, materials management and so on.
• To describe subsystems or sub-modules of these models.
• To describe how these modules function together.
Introduction• There are many packages that are developed depending on the
requirement of an organisation requirement.
• These packages help not only in maintaining the data but also effectively handle the data as per the requirement of the various needs that arise in the organisation.
• The features and number of the modules vary with the ERP package. most of the small scale industries.
• some of the most common modules available in almost all packages are:– Finance
– Manufacturing & Production Planning
– Sales and Distribution
– Plant maintenance
– Quality Management
– Materials Management etc
1. FINANCE MODULE
1. FINANCE• Concept of Information technologies means providing:– Right information– Right time– Right people– Can make critical difference to the organization
• Financial data provides key information • Financial system must provide the management with
information that can be leveraged for strategic decisions, in order to achieve comprehensive advantage.
1. FINANCE Conti…
• The finance module of most ERP system will have the following sub-system:– Financial Accounting: (General Ledger, Accounts
Receivables/ Payable, Fixed Assets Accounting, Legal consolidation)

• All forecasted increases/decreases in costs can be easily applied to determine the impact on your bottom line and cash resources.
• It must provide the information base upon which the entire operation should be run.
• It should contain the necessary business rules to manage the entire supply chain process whether within a facility, between facilities or across the entire supply chain.
Major subsystem of the manufacturing module – Materials and capacity planning – Shop floor control– Quality management – JIT/repetitive manufacturing– Cost management – Engineering change control – Engineering data management– Configuration management – Tooling– Serialization/lot control
6.a. Material and Capacity Planning• Today's Customers want accurate shipment dates—
sometimes to the hour—even when there are schedule and product changes.
• The Planning systems of ERP packages are designed to provide the responsiveness company needs to meet those customer requirements.
• With these systems, planners can simulate alternative plans; gaining the information they need to determine which parts and assemblies to make, which to buy and when to manufacture or purchase.
6.b. Shop Floor Control• The Shop Floor Control means reducing the
Manufacturing time to increase the product availability in the market.
• The Shop Floor Control system provides real-time labour and production reporting for online production visibility throughout the enterprise.
• Users can log into or out of operations manually or they can use the built-in bar coding functionality to scan work order numbers and work order steps for automatic logins.
• The shop floor menu is easily customized to include virtually any activity, maintenance function, report or inquiry you need to run your shop floor.
6.c. Quality Management• All manufacturing modules track quality control
activities across the enterprise-from intermediate producers to finished goods.

6.f. Engineering Data Management
• It is designed to help your company trim data transfer time, reduces errors and increase data productivity by providing an automated link between engineering and production information.
• Most packages allow a smooth integration, with popular CAD packages, to simplify the exchange of information about drawings, items and routings.
6.g. Engineering Change Control
• By using Engineering Change Control, business can gain effective control over engineering change orders. Your company can define the authoritarian steps for approving and implementing an engineering change order.
• When these steps are completed , the system automatically implements the change in the production data base.
6.h. Configuration management
• Reduction in order cycle time is achieved by creating a flexible user-defined knowledge base that is accessed by a powerful analytical engine.
• The analytical interprets the knowledge base in conjunction with user selections, to ensure that the customer-specified product can be built and sold,
6.i. Tooling
• The ERP systems help to ensure that tools and materials arrive together at scheduled operations by sorting tools in inventory and planning and allocating the required tools as part of the production order.
• They also provide visibility of tools use, calculate the remaining useful life of a tool and automatically route tools for maintenance ,based on usage.
7. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
7. Sales and Distribution• In this ever-changing environment, keeping a competitive edge
