About This Webinar Series
• This is a 10-part webinar series that will:
– Focus on ERP for Manufacturing & Distribution
– Touch upon the evolution of ERP from MRP and MRPII
– Describe ERP in business English with a focus on real-life use cases
• It will not be:
– A highly technical description of each module in an ERP system (that
might come in a future series)
Three key concepts before
we dive into the subject
Before We Go Into ERP
• Organization of manufacturing & distribution companies
– What is the organizational structure?
– Why does that matter here?
• Four terms you will be hearing often
– BOM
– MRP
– MRPII
– ERP
• The evolution BOMP to MRP to MRPII to ERP

Bill of Materials (BOM)
A bill of materials or product structure (sometimes bill of material, BOM or associated
list) is a list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-
components, parts and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) And MRPII
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a computer-based production planning and
inventory control system. MRP is concerned with both production scheduling and
inventory control. It is a material control system that attempts to keep adequate
inventory levels to assure that required materials are available when needed.
- Columbia University
Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) is defined as a method for the effective
planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational
planning in units, financial planning, and has a simulation capability to answer "what-
if" questions and extension of closed-loop MRP.

A Brief History of Time: From
BOMP to MRP to ERP
1960s: IBM Releases BOMP
• “Bill of Materials Processor”
• Pre-mainframe
• Adapted existing BOMs for
manufacturing projects and adjusted
them for production amounts
1960s
BOMP
1970s: MRP Goes Mainstream
• Built on Mainframes
• COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf)
• MRP, Payroll, A/R, A/P, G/L, Sales Orders
• Each of these was standalone and did
not work with each other
1960s/70s
MRP
1960s
BOMP
1980s: MRP Evolves Into MRPII
• Built on Mini- and Micro-computers
• Initial integration between MRP, A/R,
A/P, G/L, Cost Accounting, Sales Orders
• Payroll still not hooked into MRPII
1980s
MRPII
1960s
BOMP
1970s
MRP
1990s: MRPII Evolves Into ERP
• Gartner coins the term “Enterprise
Resource Planning” (early ‘90s)
• Client-Server
• MRPII integrated with payroll and HR
• “ERP” starts to go outside manufacturing
• Massive investments driven partly by
Y2K
1990s

2000+: ERP Expands, Goes Into Cloud
• Cloud deployment
• CRM, HR, Finance, Professional Services,
Supply Chain, Project Management
• Increasingly integrated modules
• New trends: Mobile

Now, let’s get into a little more
detail about MRP & ERP
ERP: More Than Just MRP
• Enterprise Resource Planning
– The ability to plan the resources required to meet the needs of your
customers and internal demands.
– This is not simply a new term for MRP.
What are the differences between ERP and MRP?
Let’s see.
MRP – A Key Part of the ERP System
• MRP is Material Requirements Planning.
• It focuses on material, while ERP broadens the focus to the
resources of the entire Enterprise.
• MRP balances supplies and demands to keep inventory at the
correct level.
• Critical for manufacturing and distribution
Key Considerations
• Considerations when planning component levels include:
– Planning material in the correct quantity and time frame. But…
– How do you calculate the correct quantity?

Frame (1) Wheel (2) Transmission (1) Control (2) Accessories
Wheel Rims (2)Wheel Tires (2)Spokes (256)
Level 0
Level 1
Level 2
Key Considerations
• Considerations when planning component levels include:
– Planning material in the correct quantity and time frame. But…
– How do you calculate the correct quantity?
– How do you calculate the correct time frame for material availability?
– Are there other considerations: EOQ, cash flow, inventory turns?
– What about shop floor capacity, scheduling, handling outside
operations?
Now we are moving outside the parameters of an MRP
algorithm which is what material control deals with into what
Production Control deals with
How Does ERP Help With Overlapping Issues?
• Break each problem down into manageable functions that mimic
human reasoning.
• Let’s see how this works when planning a quantity of material to
order.
– Besides the immediate demand, are there other requirements to
consider?
– Will any quantity be lost in production for setup, scrap, etc?
– Are there economic order quantities to be considered?
– What about inventory turns or scrap in stores?
• All of these issues could affect the quantity to be ordered. But
there is more….
How Does ERP Help With Overlapping Issues?...
Cont’d
• Break each problem down into manageable functions that
mimic human reasoning.
• What factors besides Order Quantity could affect Production?
– Shop Floor Capacity
– Shipping/Receiving Schedules
– Cash Flow
The ERP System will help planners keep all of these factors in
view, providing a complete picture of the manufacturing process
and associated factors to be considered.
So, what goes into a modern,
end-to-end ERP?
