figure 1.4: erp planning process

Enterprise Resource Planning is a term originally derived from manufacturing resource planning
(MRP II) that followed material requirements planning (MRP). MRP evolved into ERP when
“routings” became a major part of the software architecture and a company’s capacity planning
activity also became a part of the standard software activity. ERP systems typically handle the
manufacturing, logistics, distribution, inventory, shipping, invoicing, and accounting for a
company. Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP software can aid in the control of many business
activities, like sales, marketing, delivery, billing, production, inventory management, quality
management, and human resource management.
