Michael Michner Industries (MMI) is a manufacturer
of warehouse and inventory tracking systems. MMI
has four U.S. plants and three warehouses. The
company employs 3,500 workers at these facilities and
the corporate headquarters. MMI is using legacy
systems for its accounting, materials requirement
planning, receivables, payables, inventory, and payroll
processes. These various legacy systems were developed
at different times and do not necessarily have
common data formats or programming. Often, MMI
must export data from one legacy system to incorporate
into a second legacy system. The president has
decided that the company must switch to an ERP
system to bring the company’s systems up to date and
to enable the company to remain competitive.
Required:
a. Describe how an ERP system could improve
performance at MMI.
b. Describe the relative advantages and disadvantages
of a big bang versus a modular implementation.
c. If MMI chooses a modular implementation,
how might it choose the order in which to
implement modules?
