You now understand what is ERP. But understanding what is ERP is not as challenging as actually implementing an ERP system in organization. ERP projects tend to be very expensive, large numbers of team members, end users, complicated and difficult to understand, very risky etc. Worldwide companies are spending billions of dollars and very large number of engineers are getting employed with handsome packages to implement ERP systems. To get a good understanding of ERP implementation Projects, the best method is to actually work as a member of a real ERP implementation project team. Just learning in classroom how to implement ERP is not enough. Therefore, we have identified an actual ERP project at COEP.
This COEP ERP project will be executed by students. We will follow the AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) methodology. All students of "Intro to ERP" course are invited to take a role in the implementation team. The project will be for a duration of about 3 to 4 months. We propose to kick off the project on Saturday, 24th March and end sometime in July.
Students of ERP course will have the option to work as a team member in one of the following project teams:
1. Technical team members are responsible for all technical activities, like installation of hardware and software, technical configuration, networking, security, user administration, database administration, customization of application programs, web interfaces, data loads and cleaning up etc. etc.
2. Functional Team members are responsible for analyzing business processes, identify gaps, propose solutions either technical software changes or manual procedures, business configuration, document and train end users etc. etc.
3. Project Management team members are responsible for managing project plan, schedules, report project status, communication, organize team events, monitor project risks etc. etc.
You are encouraged to take up a role as a team member. A team member is expected to devote about 4 to 5 hours every week until the end of winter semester (May 1st week) and there after about 4 hours every day until end of the project (during your summer vacation)
Those students who do not have time to work as a team member, will be expected to participate in this project as observers. The observers will attend all major team events like Project Kick off, Phase closure, Go Live, Lessons Learned and periodic project status meetings.
The work performed by all project team members will be published as shared documents and all observers will be able to view these documents and give suggestions if any.
The project work completed until end semester will be covered by some questions in the end semester exam. Those who work as project team members will get a certificate of completion of one end-to-end ERP project.
If you are inclined to work as Project Team member in any one of the 3 project teams, then you are required to attend the Project Team meeting tomorrow, Thursday 22nd March at 5:30pm in Room #16 of Production Engg dept.
All students are required to attend the Project Kick Off Meeting, on Saturday 24th March, at 12pm in Room #16 of Prod Engg dept. On 24th, morning from 10AM to 11:30AM, the inauguration by Union Minister Sharad Pawar is planned. Immediately after the inauguration ceremony we will meet for Project Kick Off at Room #16.
