Paving the way for a (new) ERP system: opportunities & risks from process industry practice

Paving the way for a new ERP system web - GUS-OS Suite - GUS ERP

The introduction of an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) is a complex undertaking that requires careful planning, preparation and implementation.

In addition, most companies in the process industry have a heterogeneous system landscape with a wide variety of subsystems. Accordingly, different processes are mapped with a wide range of software solutions.

    This often leads to the following consequences:

    • The software solutions are difficult to update and some are no longer compatible with the rest of the system landscape.
    • In some cases, legal requirements can only be mapped to a limited extent and with a great deal of effort.
    • Additional workarounds have to be established at great expense in order to keep the existing systems "alive".

     

    With the help of an industry-specific ERP system, the process organization of the existing system landscape can be significantly simplified and made more efficient:

    • The goods and value flow processes can be mapped using a standardized system.
    • The system is regularly maintained by the manufacturer and adapts to new legal requirements.
    • Quick and easy access to information and data based on defined processes and standardized data collection.
    • Support for industry-specific requirements and processes through best practice in the respective industries.
    • Greater employee satisfaction and more efficient working.
