Technology Advances Enterprise-Wide PlanningEnterprise resource planning (ERP) systems use internal and external management information throughout an organization (Alshare & Lane , 2011). These systems cover finance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, customer relationship management and more. The ERP system uses an integrated software application that helps the system automate. Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions within the boundaries of the organization and to manage connections with external stakeholders (Alshare & Lane, 2011). ERP systems typically include the following features: a complex system that operates in real time without depending on periodic updates, a common database that supports all functions, a consistent model in each module, and system installation without too much hassle and development (Wixom, Watson & Werner, 2011).In 1990, Gartner group first realized ERP as an extension of material requirements planning and ERP became a larger whole , reflecting the evolution of application integration beyond manufacturing (Alshare & Lane, 2011). By the mid-1990s, ERP systems covered all essential functions of a business. Governments and non-profit organizations have also started using ERP systems. ERP systems grew rapidly in the 1990s as the Y2K problem and the introduction of the Euro disrupted existing systems. Many companies have taken advantage of this opportunity to replace these systems with ERPs. This rapid sales growth was followed by a collapse in 1999 after these problems were resolved. ERP systems, in the beginning, focused on automating back-office functions that did not directly require consideration. In the deployment presented in this article, we obtained a return on investment in the R2R control and in the FDC linked to the first phases of deployment. APC's technical and business models will enable organizations to complete the remaining phases and migrate to new areas such as failure prediction and the incorporation of APC with performance management.
