Implementation of an erp solution in a production company

Abstract

Zaključno delo predstavlja implementacijo ERP-rešitve (poslovno informacijske rešitve) v proizvodnem podjetju. Na podlagi preučenih agilnih metodologij smo oblikovali implementacijski načrt, ki je vseboval ključne cilje, sestavo projektne ekipe, časovnico projekta, analizo obstoječega stanja in poslovnih zahtev. Sledila je analiza vrzeli, kjer smo identificirali razlike med obstoječimi procesi in funkcionalnosti nove ERP-rešitve. Na podlagi ugotovljenih odstopanj smo s konfiguracijo sistema dosegli želeno delovanje. V fazi konfiguracije smo ERP-rešitev integrirali z MES (sistemom za upravljanje proizvodnje). V fazi izvedbe smo poskrbeli za pripravo in migracijo podatkov, dodatno konfiguracijo sistema, izobraževanje uporabnikov ter organizacijo vzporednega delovanja. V obdobju vzporednega delovanja smo izvajali primerjavo rezultatov med staro in novo ERP-rešitvijo. Vzporedni prehod je bil ključna faza, v kateri smo odkrili napake in poskrbeli za njihovo odpravo v sistemu. Po vzporednem prehodu je sledil prehod v živo, kjer je nova ERP-rešitev v celoti nadomestila prejšnji sistem. Analiza izvedbe je pokazala, da nova ERP-rešitev omogoča več funkcionalnosti, povezljivosti z drugimi sistemi ter podporo za kompleksnejše analize in poročanja. Z implementacijo nove ERP-rešitve sta se spremenila tudi podatkovna baza in varnostno kopiranje.The thesis focuses on the implementation of an ERP (enterprise resource planning) solution in a production company. Based on reviewed agile methodologies, we developed the implementation plan, where we defined key goals, the project team, the project timeline, and conducted an analysis of the existing business processes and requirements. This was followed by a gap analysis, where we identified the differences between the existing processes and the functionalities of the new ERP solution. Based on the identified discrepancies, we configured the system to achieve the desired operation. During the configuration phase, we integrated the ERP solution with the MES (manufacturing execution system). In the execution phase, we focused on data preparation and migration, additional system configuration, user training and organizing parallel operations. During the parallel run, we compared the results between the old and new ERP systems. The parallel transition was a crucial phase where, we identified and corrected system errors. After the transition, we moved to the go-live, where the new ERP solution completely replaced the previous one. The performance analysis showed that the new ERP solution offers more functionality, connectivity with other systems, and support for complex analysis and reporting. The implementation of the new ERP solution also led to a change in the database and backup system
