Introduction to Enterprise Resource Planning Systems is designed to introduce students to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), a business management paradigm that integrates all facets of the business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, finance, and accounting. It will establish a theoretical foundation of ERP systems and examines business function, processes, data requirements, development, and management of ERP systems for sales, marketing, accounting, finance, production, supply chain, and customer relationship management. The course will cover both the methodology and practice of ERP using Microsoft Dynamics, a leading commercial ERP software package. Hands-on homework will be assigned so the student can work through real-life business situations using the MS Dynamics system and explore the interaction among the different business processes. These exercises, along with class discussions through dialog, will prepare the student with the knowledge and skill sought by a growing number of businesses attempting to use enterprise systems to maintain or expand their competitive edge.
