The Difference

The ‘Push’ of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) seems to be contradictory with the ‘Pull’ of Lean manufacturing; actually they have mutual promotion in production. The dual implementation of ERP and Lean is inevitable direction in the enterprise’s development. This paper first explains the difference and interrelation between ERP and Lean Manufacturing, and discusses the mutual promoted effects. Then focus on “how to accomplish the dual implementation?” To answer this question, this paper mainly put forward three points: firstly strength the centralized management of all kinds of data and information in manufacture; then fuse ERP with Kanban; lastly build business process mixed by Pull-based mode and Plan-controlled mode. Through the above methods, ERP links with Lean to boost each other. Thus enable enterprise to gain a competitive advantage in manufacturing.

Tahapan penerapan ERP ini dimulai dengan studi pendahuluan. Aktivitasnya yaitu pengenalan perusahaan dengan wawancara dan observasi, mengidentifikasi proses bisnis pembelian, persediaan, dan penjualan barang yang sedang berjalan kemudian membuatkan usulan sistem secara terkomputerisasinya, yang digambarkan dengan menggunakan Business Process Model Notation (BPMN), serta penggambaran model kerja sistem yang akan diterapkan menggunakan use case diagram. Tahapan selanjutnya adalah melakukan studi literatur dari berbagai buku dan jurnal untuk mencari landasan teori dan penelitian terkait. Kemudian melakukan pemilihan perangkat lunak ERP, setelah itu melakukan konfigurasi dan kustomisasi modul perangkat lunak ERP tersebut, serta terakhir melakukan penerapan dan pengujian. Hasil yang diharapkan dari penelitian ini adalah dapat mengatasi permasalahan pada Toko Soviah.

This chapter explores the concept of infoprocess. Concepts of process in various disciplines are examined in preparation to conceptualizing process from the management and IS perspectives. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and Business Process Management (BPM) are discussed as the approaches relevant for IS research. The discussion proceeds to infoprocess (short for “informing process”), which is defined in terms of interrelated informing activities that deliver an outcome to a customer. The concept of infoprocesses involves aspects of data, cognition, and their intersection that results in information. Many organizational processes are infoprocesses, or have infoprocess segments. An analytical framework that applies to business process and infoprocess alike is elaborated. It includes two essential segments—design and performance. Infoprocess design is discussed in terms of composition, coordination, complexity, flexibility, and technology. Infoprocess performance is discussed in terms of process time, costs, and customer value. Process design determines process performance. Better performance can be achieved by optimizing each design aspect. Ensuing discussion covers the process-centered organization in conjunction with Enterprise Resource Planning systems and the BPR methodology. Challenges of BPR are examined and contrasted to the BPM approach. In the second part of the chapter, attention turns to the role of process approach in advanced forms of organizing. The virtual organization is discussed and expanded with exploring virtualness at large and a model of Tree of Virtual Life. Next, organizations enabling e-commerce and the mobile enterprise are examined from the process perspective. The discussion concludes by looking at potential perils of the process approach framed as a collision of different concepts of time.

The Impact

The importance of the impact of IT for organizations around the world, especially in light of a very slow recovery from the global financial crisis, has amplified the need to provide a better understanding of the specific geographic similarities and differences of IT managerial and technical trends. Going beyond identifying these influential factors is also the need to understand the considerations for addressing them in light of recognizing the respective local characteristics, especially when operating in a globally linked environment, although somehow heavily influenced locally. By comparing and contrasting IT trends from different geographies, this paper presents important local and international factors (e.g., management concerns, influential technologies, budgets/spending, organizational considerations) necessary to prepare IT leaders for the challenges that await them. It can also serve as an indicator as the respective geographies evolve from the economic conundrum. The research is based on data from four geographic regions (United States (US), Europe, Asia, and Latin America). The same questionnaire (although translated for the respective respondents), based on the lead authors well-respected and long-running Society for Information Management survey, was applied across the geographies. This paper presents the major findings based on survey responses from 620 respondents (275 US, 100 European, 59 Asian, and 186 Latin) in mid-2011. The top five management concerns were: (1) IT and business alignment; (2) business agility and speed to market; (3) business process management and business process reengineering; (4) business productivity and cost reduction; (5) IT reliability and efficiency. The five most influential technologies were: (1) business intelligence; (2) enterprise resource planning systems; (3) cloud computing; (4) mobile and wireless applications; (5) customer relationship management.
