ESS AND FAILURE)

INTRODUCTION
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business management
software usually a suite of integrated applications that a company can
use to store and manage data from every stage of business, including:
•Manufacturing
•Inventory management

ERP FUNCTIONS
ERP provides an integrated real-time view of core business
processes, using common databases maintained by a DBMS. ERP
systems track business resourcescash , raw materials, production
capacity—and the status ofbusiness commitments: orders, purchase
orders, and payroll.
The applications that make up the system share data across
thevarious departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales,accounting
etc.) that entered the data.
ERP facilitates information flow between all business functions ,and
manages connections to outside stakeholders.

ERP IMPLEMENTATION
•Cadbury turns out, in recent years, Kraft implemented SAP ERP 6.0
(System Analysis and Program Development) in what SAPcalled one of
its largest global ERP implementations

solution, NetWeaver, withan eye toward integrating legacy systems.
•Cadbury was left with a glut of chocolate products at the start of the
year, after the installation of a new SAP-based enterprise resource
planning (ERP) system led to an excess of chocolate bars building up at
the end of 2005.
BENIFITS OF ERP
11
• Cadbury was on a fast paced growth and could not continue with the
existing systems and the pace was too slow due to added inefficiencies.
ERP added efficiency and guided the led all the issuesfast paced
growth.
• While implementing the ERP systems, the company has built it upon
the past strengths of the company thereby not losing out on its
competitive.
• The initial implementation took time and then the successive imp -
lementations took lesser time and cost and there is a huge advantage in
saving cost while in the implementation phase itself.
• The reaction from competition does not matter in this because this
isnot a change that was advertised to the market. This is an
internalprocess restructuring and was a welcome change within the
company which badly needed the change.
