ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING
This approach integrates all information and processes of an
organization into one holistic system. This usually relies on large software
systems that facilitate the identification and planning of all necessary
resources and activities across the organization in order to deliver the
product or service to the customer. Such systems help identify the bottle -
necks and waste within the organization’s processes and support the work
of other approaches such as supply chain management, just-in-time, and
lean manufacturing.
