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.

В роботі проводиться аналіз існуючих методик щодо управління промисловим підприємством. Найбільш відомими з них є такі нормативні документи управління: MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling Systems) і MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems). Наводяться основні переваги та недоліки вказаних систем управління. Проведений аналіз вказує на необхідність створення систем управління нового покоління, яка тісно пов'язане з розвитком методики створення єдиного інформаційного простору підприємства і інтегрованих моделей для автоматизованих систем управління підприємством. Запропонована методика, що ґрунтуються на системному підході, який містять формалізований описи всієї сукупності виробничих та бізнес процесів; матеріальних об'єктів та ресурсів, що задіяні в оперативному управлінні виробництвом і його конструкторській та технологічній підготовці. Зазначена методика створення єдиного інформаційного простору підтримується відповідними базовими інформаційними технологіями, що забезпечують: реінжиніринг бізнес-процесів оперативного управління та технічної підготовки виробництва з метою забезпечення переходу від функціонально-орієнтованої до процесної організації управління підприємством; опис і візуальне представлення електронної структури виробу й надання йому статусу стандарту підприємства; управління бізнес-процесами оперативного планування і технічної підготовки виробництва з використанням електронної структури виробу, спрямоване на підтримку функціональних задач APS, MES, PLM-систем. Зокрема, в роботі розглянута математична модель технологічного процесу на промисловому підприємстві. Вводиться поняття та умови функціональної стійкості технологічного процесу на промисловому підприємстві. Вказуються критерії функціональної стійкості технологічного процесу

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).

Large manufacturing industries have been able to successfully reduce cost and cycle time through the use of Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) systems and principles to control material flow and the production process. Ship construction cannot be neatly classified as a manufacturing process. The complex relationships involved with the installation and activation of ship's systems more closely resembles a construction operation. Work of this type has traditionally been controlled through an activity based network scheduling system. However, MRP II principles offer numerous benefits for the shipbuilding industry. This paper discusses an approach to planning, scheduling, and management of ship construction which takes advantage of benefits from both approaches. By using both network scheduling and MRP II in an integrated scheduling system, a shipyard will be better able to plan and execute the ship construction process.

To illustrate that the application of ERP in construction industry is feasible and necessary, this paper analyzes the business process of construction industry based on the four development phases of ERP in manufacturing -- basic MRP, closed-loop MRP, manufacturing resources planning(MRP-II), enterprise resource planning(ERP), and compares the business process between construction and manufacturing. Finally it concludes that there exist many similarities in construction and manufacturing and implement ERP in construction industry is feasible to some extent.
