This research proposes a new integrated framework to support the inter-enterprise function integration, system structure and collaboration over the networked environment. In contrast to the existing system integration, the proposed framework enables the systematic amalgamation of large complex product development PMIS (Project Management Information System) and correlative sub modules in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). In addition, this framework is more suitable for building the large-scale manufacturing systems that are prone to dynamic random changes of their environment. It is shown on a practical case -- the implementation of AA Company’s PMIS in the environment of ERP system. The result indicates that the information integration framework on the large complex product development PMIS with ERP is operable and practical.

This study examines the development of open source software supporting e-commerce (EC) or e-business (EB) capabilities. This entails a case study within a virtual organization engaged in an organizational initiative to develop, deploy, and support free/open source software systems for EC or EB services, like those supporting enterprise resource planning. The objective of this study is to identify and characterize the resource-based software product development capabilities that lie at the center of the initiative, rather than the software itself, or the effectiveness of its operation in a business enterprise. By learning what these resources are, and how they are arrayed into product development capabilities, we can provide the knowledge needed to understand what resources are required to realize the potential of free EC and EB software applications. In addition, the resource-based view draws attention to those resources and capabilities that provide potential competitive advantages and disadvantages to the organization in focus.

Delivery Vehicles

One of the most challenging decisions that has to made routinely by dispatch managers at distribution centres of warehousing and distribution businesses in the retail sector involves the assignment of delivery vehicles to service customers exhibiting demand for retail goods and the subsequent routing of these delivery vehicles to the various customers and back again. Perhaps surprisingly, these dispatch managers do not always use vehicle routing software to schedule goods deliveries to customers, instead often relying on teams of human schedulers who perform this task manually. The reason for not using such software is usually a perception that it may be difficult to integrate the software with existing enterprise resource planning systems already in use. In such cases, estimates of potential costs savings that may be brought about by such software is often required before the dispatch department will risk the significant step towards investing in vehicle routing planning software. Dispatch managers may then employ these cost savings estimates in cost-benefit trade-off analyses. This paper contains a practical case study in which the potential cost savings of a vehicle routing optimisation approach are quantified for a large retail distribution centre in the South African Western Cape in a bid to support its decision as to whether or not to invest in vehicle routing planning software.

The information system and in particular Enterprise Resource Planning are essential tools for management controllers. Nowadays, in large and medium-sized enterprises, information integration is carried out in most cases in an ERP environment. Management controllers have also seen the birth of their profession thanks to the changes made in organizations on information systems. The main aim of this article is a question of identifying the expectations of the firm, of characterizing the ERP and of determining their potential impact on the management control systems. This paper will present the influence of the key success factors (KSF) on the satisfaction of the management controller through quantitative research with a survey. To collect the data necessary for this research, a quantitative confirmatory study will be conducted.

In late September 2014, after reviewing the revised financial projection of their new venture, Maui Millan, the CEO and the head of product development, and Mannix Chong, the COO and the head of business development were alarmed. They planned to call their board of advisors to discuss the future of SmartFleet, the new product of the Philippines-based firm called Pahrsek Inc. SmartFleet is a cloud-based fleet management tool that provides enterprise resource planning capability to fleet vehicle operators. For Maui and Mannix, there were numerous challenges ranging from developing a pricing strategy, growing the market as a pioneer in this industry in the Philippines, to proactively managing the potential global competitors who were on the verge of the Philippines market. They were anxious because they knew that only a set of careful, well-thought out and smart decisions could ensure survival and sustainability of this new venture.

ABSTRACT This education case is the first to use QuickBooks Premier Accountant to teach students foundation functionalities common to all Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems that support discrete manufacturing. Students learn how to configure QuickBooks so that direct materials, direct labor and applied manufacturing overhead costs charged to work-in-process parts manufactured at lower levels of the BOM are rolled up into the costs of higher-level work-in-process parts and, ultimately, into the costs of the finished goods parts. Students set up raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods part numbers so that quantities and costs of parts on-hand are tracked in inventory on the Perpetual Inventory System to provide an inventory subsidiary ledger that continuously matches the manufacturing inventory account balances in the Chart of Accounts. Students learn the importance of configuring Off the Shelf (OTS) manufacturing systems in accurately costing manufactured discrete products, including setting up manufacturing accounts, employees, part numbers, and the BOM. As such, the case is designed to be used in Accounting Information Systems (AIS) courses that are already using QuickBooks to help students' better understand the general concepts covered in AIS textbooks on the Production Cycle that are not addressed in extant textbooks on QuickBooks.
