Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in Improving Operational Efficiency: Case Study
Open accessAbstract
The research is an investigation into prospects of improving operational efficiency in a manufacturing system through enterprise resource planning (ERP). This was done on a South African company which is into linen manufacturing and making uniforms for the hospitality industry. This was achieved by improving effective communication among departments to meet delivery dates. ERP framework was designed to reduce work in progress on the shop floor and inventory. Integration of firm's activities, intra organizational communication and wider collaboration were some of the pillar considered in the process to achieve a reduction in working capital. Wastage in the form of material or energy, inventory, defects or wasted capacity, was eliminated for effectiveness. Reduction of product cycle times was done through minimizing set-up and delays, coordinating machine maintenance with production operations and optimizing space in order to better utilize workers, equipment and workstations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
