...& INSPIRE YOUR PEOPLE A company‟s effectiveness depends on its employees‟ good work. OpenERP‟s Human Resources modules enable you to manage important aspects of staff work efficiently, such as their skills, contracts, and working time. 17.1 Managing Human Resources To establish a system that is integrated into the company‟s management you need to start with a current list of collaborators. Note: Do not confuse employees and users For OpenERP, “employee” represents all of the physical people who have a work contract with the company. This includes all types of contracts: contracts with both fixed and indeterminate time periods, and also independent and freelance service contracts. A “user” is a physical person who is given access to the company‟s systems. Most employees are users but some users are not employees: external partners can have access to parts of the system. Here are some examples of functions which depend on the accuracy of the employee list: • the cost of a service, which depends on the employee‟s working contract, • project planning, which depends on the work pattern of the project contributors, • the client billing rate, which probably depends on the employee‟s job function, • the chain of command, or responsibilities, which is related to the hierarchical structure of the company. 17.1.1 Management of staff To define a new employee in Open ERP, use the menu Human Resources!Employees.

...REPORT: PROPOSED ADOPTION OF ERP SYSTEM FOR ALL DIVISIONS I would like to propose an upgrade of our in-house internal Material Requirement Planning (MRP) mostly used by the Engineers to an ERP system which would encompass sales, account payables, finance, supply chain, invoicing and receiving. Our current system works well internally, however, there are several issues that the MRP cannot address. The MRP doesn’t disseminate information to procurement, sales and finance. Also it doesn’t provide information on inventory levels and late deliveries. It’s therefore difficult to make the necessary changes, which would, commensurate with the rapid changing business environment. In addition, the MRP is manufacturing driven and it is only of advantage to the manufacturing divisions. Even in those divisions, communication and the require knowledge for better forecasting and financial planning are lacking. The ERP would improve the entire efficiency of the company’s processes. First and foremost, the ERP would enable all the diverse divisions to work as a single unit, provide a key knowledge development and ensure the seamless workflow of processes. As of now, access to information and data retrieval is difficult and cumbersome to analyze. This reduces the production efficiency of employees. With the ERP system all employees would have access to same information and/or data at the same time. Also the ERP has many modules such as inventory, order management, sales, human resource, procurement...

...Case Study of “Does America really need manufacturing”. Sriharsha Vennelaganti-Fs0792 1. Summary: In the case study we can see that the authors talk about the importance of innovation when it comes to the long-term success of every product company. By reading the article one gets an understanding that the authors are asking executives of any product company should not view manufacturing as a cost center and by shifting their manufacturing units offshore they are hindering a company’s capacity to innovate. In the end the authors give us different methods that a company can use to better improve their product line without shifting their manufacturing bases offshore and a way the government can help by providing policy incentives for the companies so that they can open their manufacturing units in United States. 2. Key Points: When we read this case study the one major point it talks about is the importance of manufacturing for United States. The article talks about the importance of product and process innovation, the role R&D plays in manufacturing.

...Riordan Manufacturing Executive Summary ABCO Consulting thanks the Riordan organization for allowing us to do this upgrade analysis. A review of the existing infrastructure at Riordan has been completed and the findings are contained in this document. There will be a listing of what was found followed by a proposed upgrade system layout. The scope of this project is to cover the following systems and subsystems and to explain how they all interact one with another. Finance & Accounting Identify and describe existing system: Riordan’s Manufacturing’s Accounting Services division is responsible for overseeing all financial processes within the company. Everything from AR, AP, payroll, General Ledger, purchasing, inventory controls, metrics, and employee payroll processing has been managed by team of well-qualified members who have demonstrated utmost professionalism for many years. In addition to these many time-consuming tasks, strict quarterly audits are also conducted throughout the company on a regular basis, most of which have met or exceeded industry standards. Therefore, the issue here the company faces is not one of quality, but rather one of efficiency. To date, many of the systems and procedures in place, while affective, are not as streamline or as consistent as they could be. Still others (e.g. audits), although effective, are taking weeks to complete when most similar operations today can finalize internal audits in a matter of days...
