Background of ERP
• History of ERP• What is ERP?• Major ERP suppliers• Why companies want to implement ERP• ERP implementation procedures
4
History of ERP• 1960's-focused on Inventory control issues • 1970's focused on MRP (Material Requirement
Planning) systems
• 1980's focused on the concept of MRP-II (Manufacturing Resources Planning) which was an extension of MRP
• Early 1990's MRP-II was further extended to cover areas like Engineering, Finance, Human Resources, Projects Management, etc.
• Beginning of ERP as we know it today

Business Drivers for ERP
16
How Does ERP Improve the Business?
ERP helps improve information sharing, enhance business performance, and promote service
efficiency
1. Allow companies to better understand their business. 2. Helps companies standardize business processes and
more easily enact best practices.3. More efficient processes enable companies to
concentrate their efforts on serving their customers, maximizing profit, and building a competitive advantage.
17
ERP Cost/Benefit Analysis• Average Cost for ERP
Among the 63 companies surveyed—including small, medium and large companies in a range of industries—the average cost for an ERP implementation was $15 million.
• Average Payback for ERP (Time & Dollars)
Among the 63 companies surveyed, it took eight (8) months after the new ERP system was implemented to see any benefits. The median annual savings from a new ERP system was $1.6 million.

ERP Strategies
1. The Big Bang-companies cast off all their legacy systems at once and install a single ERP system across the entire company.
2. Franchising-Independent ERP systems are installed in each unit, while linking common processes, such as financial bookkeeping, across the enterprise.
3. Slam Dunk-ERP dictates the process design in this method; where the focus is on just a few key processes, such as those contained in an ERP system's financial module. The slam dunk is generally for smaller companies expecting to grow into ERP by initially purchasing only a few modules.

ERP Implementation Procedure
Steps for ERP implementation
• Cost analysis• Blueprinting of Business Processes• Staff Training• Integration• Data Conversion• “Going Live” with ERP

ERP: Winner’s Legend, Loser’s
Nightmare
While 9 out of 10 ERP implementations failed in India, the one success story produced such spectacular results that it was enough to keep the entire ERP market alive!

Case Study #1
Failed ERP Implementation at Raskas Foods, Inc.
22
Raskas Foods, Inc.
• One of the 150 Largest Privately held companies in St. Louis
• Purchased by Schreiber Foods in October, 2002
[St. Louis Business Journal, April 2002]
23
Raskas Foods Background
• Founded in 1888
• Nations first private label manufacturer of cream cheese for retail grocery distribution
• Sales of over $280 million in 2002
• 3 Manufacturing Plants
24
Raskas Foods, Inc.• Dr. Heschel Raskas, President and CEO• Ed Thibeault, Sr. Vice President – Marketing and
Sales• Rich Coker, Sr. Vice-President – Operations• Rich Scheuerman, Sr. Vice-President – Finance
25
Raskas Foods, Inc.
• Owners• Marketing• Operations• Finance
Four Factions to Satisfy:
26
Owners• Seven owners, all related• Three were employed by Raskas• Two had been looking to sell Raskas for over ten
years• Wanted to position Raskas Foods for sale
27
Marketing• Finance helped Marketing get Gross-to-Net and
Cognos BI software• ERP wouldn’t do anything for them• Since Finance helped Marketing get their programs,
Marketing was willing to back Finance on the ERP project – provided that Marketing wouldn’t have to supply any bodies to the implementation process
28
Operations• Operations has wanted a new plant since 1994• Operations liked their “homegrown” Excel based
system• Operations traded support for the ERP system in
exchange for future support from Finance for a new plant – as soon as certain production levels were met.
29
Finance• Finance felt about the legacy Accounting system
that “the wheels were about to come off the cart”• Wanted an entire package…”It’s time to get into
the Big Leagues”• Just came off successful implementation of Gross-
to-Net and Cognos for Marketing
30
The ERP Package
• Approved in early 1999• Adage ERP package• SCT consultants• Budgeted $2.2 million• Anticipated 6 months to 1 year to complete• Waited until after the Y2K problem to implement• Completed the Blueprint of Business Processes• Training for IS
31
Project Personnel
• Mike Doyle (Finance), Project Manager• Cliff Thomason (Finance), Project Facilitator• John Lazare (IT), Project Lead• Wayne Dixon, Director - IT, was left out
32
Problems
• Implementation started in April of 2000• Employees found that the ERP system didn’t do
things the same way they did things• Changes approved to keep Operations involved• Stopped for fall Busy Season September 2000
33
Startup-January, 2001
• No momentum restarting• Had to upgrade the software to the latest release• Budget increases to $3.3 million
34
Large Sales Increase
• The number two private label Cream Cheese manufacturer develops quality and delivery problems
• Spring 2001, Operations gets approval for a new plant
• Operations pulls key people from ERP for new plant startup
35
More Problems….
• Work on the ERP implementation stopped for fall busy season again
• By February, “something was wrong.”• March 2002, lack of Upper Level Management
interest in ERP• April 2002, a successful ERP implementation was
no longer necessary
36
Lessons Learned• The budget will increase when changes are made• Senior level personnel have to stay involved• Everyone involved in the project has to be 100%
dedicated to the project• The people involved in the ERP project have to be
“key” employees• ERP has to be the number one priority
37

Company Structure
• Centralized functional organization• Manufacturing, customer support, finance, human
resources, IT, and sales are centralized• Product Marketing and R&D are decentralized
into the following “Lines of Business”:– Enterprise (Large Corporations)
– Small / Medium Business
– Service Provider

45
Time for a Change
• January 1993, Cisco was $500 million company running a Unix-based legacy software package
• CIO Pete Solvik saw the need for change
• Initially, Cisco avoided an ERP solution
Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
46
Pete Solvik-CIO
“We wanted to grow to a $5 billion-plus company. We were not able to make changes to the application
to meet our business needs anymore. The application had become too customized. The
software vendor did offer an upgrade but we knew even after the upgrades it would still be a package
for $300 million companies--and we’re a $1 billion dollar company.”
Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
47
Randy Pond-Dir. of Manuf.“We knew we were in big trouble if we did not do
something. Anything we did would just run over the legacy systems we had in place. It turned into an effort to constantly band-aid our existing systems. None of
us were individually going to go out and buy a package….the disruption to the business for me to go to the board and say ‘Okay, manufacturing wants to spend
$5 or $6 million dollars to buy a package and by the way it will take a year or more to get in….’ was too
much to justify.”Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School
Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
48
The Final Straw
• System failure in January, 1994
• Company shut down for 2 days
• February, 1994 assembled team in charge of finding a suitable replacement application
• Decided on the Big Bang implementation strategy

Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
49
Carl Redfield-SVP of Manuf.
“I knew we wanted to do this quickly. We were not going to do a phased implementation, we would do it
all at once. We were not going to allow a lot of customization either. Also, we wanted to create a
schedule that was doable and make it a priority in the company as opposed to a second tier kind of effort.”
Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School
Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
50
“A Team Effort”
•Team consisted of internal resources (Cisco employees), consultant (KPMG), and ERP software vendor (Oracle)
Solvik said, “Our orientation in pulling people out of their jobs to work on the project was if it was easy then we
were picking the wrong people. We pulled people out that the business absolutely did not want to give up.”
Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
51
Software Vendor Selection
• 20 person team did extensive research on ERP providers
• 5 vendors in 2 days
• 10 days to draft RFP for vendors
• Visited vendor reference clients
• Scheduled 3 day onsite software demos
• Entire process took only 75 days!

52
Why Oracle?•Win-win situation for both Cisco and Oracle
Pond said, “Oracle wanted this win badly. We ended up getting a super deal. There are, however, a lot of strings
attached. We do references, allow site visits and in general talk to many companies that are involved in
making this decision.”
Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School Online
Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
53
Project Approval• Target timeline was 9 months
• Projected cost was $15 million
• Largest capital project ever approved by Cisco
Pond said, “Before we even get the first slide up I hear the chairman speaking from the back of the room. He
says ‘How much?’ I said I was getting to it and he responded: ‘I hate surprises. Just put up the slide right
now.’ After I put it up he said ‘Oh my God, there better be a lot of good slides….”

54
Implementation Team
• Expanded from 20 to 100 members (See slide #55)
• Steering committee at top to ensure project visibility, sponsorship, and motivation
• Split into 5 key areas (Order Entry, Manufacturing, Finance, Sales/Reporting, and Technology)
• All areas consisted of internal Cisco
employees, KPMG consultants, and
Oracle consultants

ERP Rollout
• Broke into phases called CRP’s (Conference Room Pilots)– CRP0 = Training and technical configuration– CRP1 = System works for each specific area– CRP2 = Modifications (red, yellow, or green),
continued training, and initial testing (See slide #57)– CRP3 = Full system testing “preparation to go live”

List of “Red” Modifications
• Packout-custom barcoding, queues, inventory, and shipping modifications
• Canada-separate set of books for separate currency• Product Configurator-enables Cisco to enter
“rules” for product ordering• OE Form-discounts, cost data, multinational
orders, etc.• Net Change Bookings-daily log of all order
activity

58
Initial Challenges• Hardware failures• System instability• Software unable to handle initial volume
Solvik said, “I wouldn’t say the company hit a wall, but I would say we had major day to day challenges that needed to be solved quickly to avoid significant impact to the company.”
Austin, Robert, “Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP”, Harvard Business School Online Case Study #9-699-022 (Rev: May 6, 2002)
59
Vendor Commitment• Team effort-overcame problems within 3 months
Solvik said, “So for about 60 days we were in complete SWAT-team mode, get this thing turned around. For example, the president of the hardware vendor was our executive sponsor. This vendor probably had 30 people on site at one point. They were all over it. They lost money on this big time. It was great for them to get such a great reference, but it was a tough experience for them. Remember we had bought a capability, so everything they did to add capacity was out of their own pocket.”

ERP Best Practices
Let’s analyze what can increase our chances of a
successful ERP implementation
65
Characteristics of IT Best Practices
• Knowledge of business process and ERP is essential to becoming an informed buyer
• Effectively Communicate company goals to the Software Providers
• Multiple Bids/Proposals• Effectively Evaluate and Compare Bids• Active Leadership Role in Project
66
Knowledge is Power
• Thorough knowledge and understanding of the entire business process being effected
• Understand which (or all) business divisions are to be incorporated into your new ERP system
• Distinguish between Customized vs. Standard ERP Software
Source: Davenport, Thomas, “Putting the Enterprise into the Enterprise System”,
Harvard Business Review, July-Aug 1998.
67
Multiple Bids• Unlike most IT
functions an In-house bid is not normally an option
• Provide each potential provider with identical information
68
Comparing Bids• Make sure that you are
comparing Apples to Apples
• Decide which system will best fit your company’s needs
• Hire a third party consultant
Source: P.J. Jakovljevic, “The ‘Joy’ Of Enterprise Systems Implementations”, www.TechnologyEvaluation.com, July 8, 2002
69
Customization vs. Standard Application
• Decision depends on multiple factors– Company Goals
• Happy with Current Productivity?
• Desiring Change?
– Employee Willingness to Change
– “Implementing/Upgrading a enterprise system offers a good opportunity for enterprises to review their key business processes and resources.”
Source: P.J. Jakovljevic, “The ‘Joy’ Of Enterprise Systems Implementations”,
www.TechnologyEvaluation.com, July 8, 2002
70
Standard Application
• Cheaper
• Requires Company Operational Processes to Change
• Constantly requires Employees to Change
• “Vendors try to structure the systems to reflect best practices”
Source: Davenport, Thomas, “Putting the Enterprise into the Enterprise System”, Harvard Business
Review, July-Aug 1998.
71
Customization• Already an Industry Leader – No Major
Changes Needed• Adapt the Software to Business Functions
– Unique Business Operations• Less Change for Employees• More Expensive and Complex Implementation
Source: Davenport, Thomas, “Putting the Enterprise into the Enterprise System”, Harvard Business
Review, July-Aug 1998.
72
Contract Negotiations• Detailed
– Time Frame– Price
• “Users are strongly advised to require fixed time and cost contract commitments”
Source: P.J. Jakovljevic, “The ‘Joy’ Of Enterprise Systems Implementations”,
www.TechnologyEvaluation.com, July 8, 2002
73
Implementation:Big Bang vs. Phased
Approach• Big bang has attributed to
a number of failures• “Once and its done”
theory - False
• Phased approach-new parts are introduced incrementally.
• Start with mature parts that need the least customization
• Builds momentum, support and enthusiasm
Source: P.J. Jakovljevic, “The ‘Joy’ Of Enterprise Systems Implementations”,
www.TechnologyEvaluation.com, July 8, 2002
74
All the previous factors discussed can effect the implementation of an
ERP system, however one factor has the ability to
outweigh all other circumstances….
75
Employees
• Top Management
• Project Leader
• Project Champion
76
Top Management• “The person at the top of the
organization can stop or fix most of these problems before they derail the project.”
• Enthusiasm “Trickles Down”• Top Management, “If they
know I care, they care.”
Source: Thompson, Olin, “Who to Blame for Project Failure?”,
www.Technologyevaluation.com, Sept 20, 2002
77
Project Manager• “The best person for the job . .
Cannot be spared from their current role.”
• Relieved of all previous job duties.
• Understand the whole business process.
Source: Thompson, Olin, “Who to Blame for Project Failure?”,
www.Technologyevaluation.com Sept 20, 2002
78
Project Champion• Typically an influential
employee-not a member of the management team.
• Created in the Phased In approach after seeing positive results.
79
Strategies for ERP Implementation
• Background Research• Use consultant to:
– Review Business Process– Narrow down vendors– Evaluate proposals
• Standard Application• Strict Contract• Phased Implementation• Employee Support – Starting at the Top
