...17 Pushkina St, Ussuriysk, Russia 6925191 Dear Mr. Alexey Morgunov: Enclosed is a copy of an Inventory Management System proposal that I completed during the fall of last year upon a request that was made to me by the IT Department Board. The main objective of the proposal was to analyze the operations of the Inventory Management system that is currently in use and come up with some its weaknesses and strengths. An integration of both would then enable the department to come up with a conclusion of a completely different system that would cover up for the shortcomings of the current system and add more value to its strengths. According to the proposal approved by the IT management Board, the proposed system would take at least three months to complete before implementation is done. The whole project would cost $1,500,000 to complete and implement. Some of the limitations as per the proposal included lack of enough capacity within the current PCs in use to accommodate the new system and so an upgrade to all the PCs was suggested. The user level of information was also to be upgraded to enable them use the new system effectively. The purpose of this letter is to request your office to consider the viability of this project in terms of cost effectiveness and achievement of desired results that would scale the company to higher heights in profit making. The IT Management Board is then supposed to proceed as necessary based upon the recommendations of your office. Thanks...

...ERP Implementation Life Cycle An ERP implementation life cycle refers to the distinct stages in which an organization carries out an ERP implementation. Typically, we advise mid-market manufactures to move through the following seven stages: * Pre-Implementation * Project Planning * Product Education * Design Configuration * Development and Test * Go-Live * Post-Implementation The concept of an ERP implementation life cycle is on the minds of many mid-market manufacturers as this calendar year comes to an end. Many process and discrete manufacturers are heading into active ERP projects in the New Year, and considering what it means to enter into the various phases of an ERP implementation. The Start of the ERP Implementation Life Cycle is Pre-Implementation While it’s tempting to gloss over the preparatory activities that should take place in the “pre-implementation” phase, our team advises manufacturers to take special care in this first phase of ERP implementation life cycle. Tasks that are part of pre-implementation form a solid foundation for the ERP project. We advise that manufacturing companies carefully manage this phase, because success at this early stage increases the likelihood of success at “go-live.” Typical best practices take place in the following areas: * Vendor Due Diligence - These are tasks found at the end of the technology evaluation cycle, involving vendor due diligence, site visits, ERP vendor customer references...

An inventory management system is used to control inventory for the products that are sold to the customers and the supplies that are used to help serve the customers.

...Managerial Applications of Information Technology – MIS535 May 27, 2013 Proposal Subject This proposal discusses the mismanagement of inventory that causes the major business problem. Resolving the issue requires better management procedures for controlling inventory with efficient and effective use of the existing resources. Implementation of Just in Time System will eliminate inventory waste, production delays, and extra cost of storage and disposal. Resolving these kinds of inventory management challenges will lead to positive competitiveness and will ultimately result in higher profit. Business problem Ford Company wants to produce a new model known as 2013 Ford Explorer. It has set it a target of producing 1,100 cars each day for the first eight weeks. However, it faces several constraints that threaten to prevent it from attaining this target. The cost of materials that it would incur is higher due to the huge amount of raw materials required in the production of these cars. It also requires a lot of time to assemble these cars, and this threatened the company’s objective of meeting its production target (Sulivan, 2005). It previously received its supplies from various suppliers who had to manufacture all the components required for the production of this model, load them into containers and later schedule them for delivery. This process of inventory management model is not efficient, since employees do most of the handling of materials and thus the quality...

...Question B i. For the first Jim’s proposal which is to accelerate the production and shipment of a large order to Imperial, in my opinion Jim proposal is a good earning management because under literature, Scott 2000, state that there are two type of efficient earning management and opportunistic earning management. While for this proposal it falls under efficient earning management. This is because Jim is trying to improve earnings informativeness in communicating private information. Jim is trying to accelerate the production and shipment where the promise date was for the fifteenth of January and early shipment would acceptable to the customer. Moreover, Jim would create an overtime premium of $100,000 to accelerate the production and shipment by the end of the month. Related to this information, it concludes that accelerating production and shipment have a positive and significant relationship with future profitability. These positive relationships describe the ability that accelerating the production and shipment has to communicate to the public and this consistent with efficient earning management. This proposal can be related with Subramanyam (1996) where it concludes that discretionary accrual have a positive and significant relationship with future profitability. Moreover, Krishnan (2003) also find the consistent evidence that show discretionary accrual (earning management proxy) have a positive and significant relationship with future profitability. This result...

...University, Keller Graduate School of Management November 9, 2014 Integrating an Efficient ERP System to introduce virtual billing and Inventory Management at Penske Truck Rental Proposal Topic This proposal will introduce the integration of efficient billing and inventory maintenance throughout Penske Truck Rental, the impact it will have in comparison to current operations, and proposes a solution. Penske sustains multiple ERP systems (RentalNet, ServiceNet, AS400, etc.) as well as maintains physical copies of inbound and outbound vehicle inspections. Throughout all the divisions, this standard has led to an absence of IT costs as the individual systems are not responsible for storing data significant to the lifespan of the vehicles as it relates to damages. Financial records are not readily accessible to consumers as data is only stored in a system manageable through Penske employees. These seemingly minor details promotes the absenteeism of technology. Incorporating the use of a more efficient ERP system in a cloud computing environment will impact the structure to manage, acquire, and utilize data for billing and operations. Problem The business problem to be addressed and solved is how to better utilize IT to reduce responsibility of employee operations, increase awareness of equipment inventory management as well as financial management aspects of Penske Truck Rental. Approach Define the margins of the cloud computing systems to determine how to integrate efficient...

...Information Systems Proposal Diana Kobiel BIS/220 Information Systems Proposal In order to start our nostalgic record store off on the right foot, we need to consider purchasing information technology for the business. Information technology will help us track our inventory, payroll, sales, accept credit cards and keep track of customers. There are at least five different types of information systems we need to consider. These five systems are as follows (Rainer Jr. & Cegielski, 2011): 1. Transaction processing system-a point of sale terminal that checks out customers in an automated fashion. 2. Functional area IS-for human resources, this will allow us to automate the payroll process, keep track of employee time and employee information such as hire date, tax rates etc. 3. Management information system-for inventory, this will allow us to track inventory from purchasing to sale, including information on purchase price, sale price and profit margin. 4. E-commerce system-this will allow us to put our store on the web and market and sell our product electronically. 5. Enterprise resource planning-this will integrate all the functional areas of our business into one database. All of these information systems have their benefits and drawbacks. I think the five systems listed above will work well for our company. Our company will be customer oriented and inventory driven. This is why I think we need a point of sale system. A point of sale system will allow...
