Manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) arose from an appreciation of the need to time and phase materials with resource availability so as to achieve a given output date. MRPII is an integrated computer-based system. A computer-based approach is essential due to the amount of data required. Various software systems are available, each based on the same principles. MRPII is depicted in Figure 5.2. 

An enterprise resources planning system is a set of software modules that provides a company with the capability of automating the transactions involved with its business processes. The ERP system provides a common database and establishes uniform policies and practices across the entire enterprise. This allows real-time access to the data. An ERP system is an outgrowth of the traditional manufacturing software systems such as Material Requirements Planning Systems (MRPII). The traditional systems focused on planning and optimization of these plans. The ERP system expanded beyond these to serve additional functions in the firm. 

As with MRP and MRPII, there is no universal set of ERP functions. However, the fundamental characteristics of current ERP systems are i) it is packaged software which integrates the majority of a business processes, ii) it uses a data warehouse that allows real time access, and iii) it processes many of the firm s transactions and integrates them with planning. A typical ERP system contains three layers the production layer which consists mainly of manufacturing, the back-office layer which includes such core functions as human resource management and accounting, and the front-office layer which com-...
