An Enterprise resource planning system is a fully integrated business
management system covering functional areas of an enterprise like Logistics, Production, Finance, Accounting and Human Resources. It organizes and integrates operation processes and information flows to make optimum use of resources such as men, material, money and machine.
Enterprise resource planning promises
one database,
one application,
one user interface
for the entire enterprise, where once disparate systems ruled manufacturing,
distribution, finance and sales.
