Globalisation, modernisation and streamlining paradigms have driven many enterprises to use various e-Technologies in order to improve the performance of existing operations, and compete globally and strategically to enhance manufacturing enterprise competitiveness, which in today’s digital economy, is often networked and interconnected via the Internet, Intranet, and Extranet. Examples of the e-Technology include e-Commerce, e-Business, e-Procurement and e-Logistics. These technologies are in place to support the notion of establishing a value-added e-Supply chain and e-Demand chain. The support of back-office systems, e.g. Supply Chain Management (SCM), Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) are crucial to enable seamless information flow in the supply chain, whilst support from front-office systems, e.g. Customer Relationships Management (CRM), is important to coordinate the demand chain. Appropriate alignment of the e-Technology with the systems is expected to create further competitive advantages. Hence, e-Technology is a core competence in contributing to competitiveness in the digital economy. It is not merely a facilitating enabler, but a critical enabler towards globalization. (Ketikidis et al, 2006).

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a state-of-the-art approach to running organizations with the help of comprehensive information systems, providing support for key business processes and more general, for electronic business (e-business). ERP has evolved from earlier approaches, in particular, materials requirement planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource planning (called MRP II) in the 1980s. The focus of MRP and MRP II was on manufacturing firms. The essential problem that MRP attacked was to determine suitable quantities of all parts and materials needed to produce a given master production schedule (also called a “production program”), plus the dates and times when those quantities had to be available. Application packages for MRP have been available from the 1960s on. In the beginning, they were mostly provided by hardware vendors like IBM, Honeywell Bull, Digital Equipment, Siemens, etc. MRP was later expanded to closed-loop MRP to include capacity planning, shop floor control, and purchasing, because as Oliver Wight (1884) puts it: “Knowing what material was needed was fine, but if the capacity wasn’t available, the proper material couldn’t be produced” (p. 48). The next step in the evolution was MRP II (manufacturing resource planning). According to the father of MRP II, Oliver Wight, top management involvement in the planning is indispensable. Therefore, MRP II expands closed-loop MRP “to include the financial numbers that management needs to run the business and a simulation capability” (Wight, 1984, p. 54). Enterprise resource planning (ERP) has its roots in the earlier MRP II concepts, but it extends those concepts substantially into two directions. ERP takes into account that other types of enterprises than those producing physical goods need comprehensive information system (IS) support as well, and even in the manufacturing industry, there are more areas than those directly related to the production of goods that are critical for the success of a business.

As technology develops, information systems become very important in institutions. Information systems support the delivery of information quickly and accurately. The system is a reference at the Persada Islamic Boarding School Ahmad Dahlan University to develop an information delivery system using applications integrated. Manual systems cause the information to be less relevant, requiring an integrated and comprehensive system that can effectively and efficiently deliver information to students. The application developed using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Rapid Application Development (RAD) methods. The application of these methods requires two main steps, including determining ERP and RAD for implementation. The process for obtaining an ERP method requires steps such as Material Requirement Planning, Close-Loop, and Manufacturing Resource Planning, and Enterprise Resource Planning. The RAD method requires steps such as Requirement Planning, RAD Design Workshop, and Implementation. Application testing used black-box and alpha testing. Each of these tests obtained an accuracy of 95% and 97.7%. Thus, this application can be implemented in Persada very well on mobile and desktop platforms. Besides, the app used information broadcasting to users in real-time for any information in Persada.

RESUMODescrever modelos de gestão de operações não é suficiente para ilustrar o dinamismo, a complexidade e a importância dessa atividade. As dificuldades de balanceamento entre teoria e prática na formação em gestão de operações sugerem a busca por iniciativas capazes de proporcionar um ambiente de aprendizagem que integre teoria e prática. Desse modo, objetiva-se verificar os temas referentes à gestão de operações pesquisados no ambiente do laboratório de gestão, os principais fatores condicionantes da escolha dos temas e o potencial do laboratório de gestão para a prática dos modelos de gestão de operações. Este estudo aborda os modelos de gestão de operações ligados aos temas estratégia em operações, gestão de cadeia de suprimentos, gestão da qualidade, manutenção, lean production (produção enxuta), sustentabilidade, gestão de processos e produtos, inovação, gestão de estoques, capacidade de produção, teoria das restrições, planejamento e controle da produção, custos de produção, projeto e medida do trabalho, enterprise resource planning/manufacturing resource planning (ERP/MRP – planejamento de recursos empresariais/planejamento de recursos de manufatura), carteira de projetos e o laboratório de gestão apoiado no tripé conceitual: simulador, jogo de empresas e pesquisa aplicada. De acordo com a classificação proposta por Gonçalves (2007), foi realizada uma análise descritiva do laboratório de gestão, na qual se adotou o método de estudo de caso longitudinal, com abordagem quantitativa, na perspectiva de uma pesquisa bibliométrica. Os dados coletados e analisados correspondem a nove anos (2005-2013) de condução do laboratório de gestão em uma universidade pública. O simulador utilizado no laboratório de gestão permitiu aos estudantes gerenciar cinco variáveis de operações explicitamente, o que facilitou 42% das pesquisas em torno desses temas. Variáveis não explícitas no simulador foram trabalhadas em 58% das pesquisas aplicadas que exploraram 14 novos temas devido ao jogo de empresas. No entanto, existem variáveis não abordadas nas pesquisas aplicadas e que poderiam ser utilizadas no ambiente do laboratório de gestão. Verificou-se a utilidade do laboratório de gestão para a prática de conceitos de gestão de operações, indicando possíveis avanços na área de ensino e aprendizagem de gestão de operações com a pesquisa em torno de temas pouco pesquisados ou ainda não pesquisados nesse ambiente de educação gerencial.

This study investigates the impact of enhanced enterprise resource planning (ERP) on firm performance through green supply chain management, supplier integration, and internal integration. The population is the manufacturer domiciled in East Java, Indonesia, which has implemented ERP and been certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the environmental management system. Data collection used a questionnaire designed with the five-point Likert scale. Of 243 manufacturers, 150 questionnaires were distributed, and 135 questionnaires are considered valid for analysis. Data analysis used smart PLS software. The result indicated that all eight predetermined hypotheses were supported. Enhanced ERP affects supplier integration, internal integration, and green supply chain management. Internal integration affects green supply chain management and firm performance. Supplier integration affects green supply chain management and firm performance. Green supply chain management affects firm performance. An interesting finding is that green supply chain management, internal integration, and supplier integration mediate the effect of enhanced ERP on firm performance. This study’s novelty lies in the research model that analyzes the relationship between the four constructs simultaneously with the green supply chain management, internal integration, and supplier integration as a mediating variable. The research provides an insight for the manager on how to improve the firm performance in supply chain management. This study could also contribute to the current research in supply chain management.
