Reflection 1(Week 1- Week 8)
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
Introduction
ERP i.e Enterprise Resource Planning System is a method of Planning, Organising and maintaining various Business process systems by using a particular software suite, normally called as ERP software tool. Basic use of ERP( Chien.T & Syue.J (Taiwan), software tool is to collect the information from the large business database and perform the day to day activities of gathering, planning and maintaining the information related to the business for smooth functioning of Supply Chain Management Network. The ERP software is often purchased from ERP vendors. ERP vendors are responsible for responsible for creation of a particular software that could manage the various business process activities and then they deal with procurement of the above software to the client.
Main Content
Traditionally business System development life cycle (SLDC) was used for planning, designing and organising business information systems(Motiwalla.L & Thompson.J). Though SLDC was an effective method for developing business information system, but ERP when compared with SLDC gives more robust implementation of business information system which makes use of packaged system software for implementation of Business Information Systems. For Implementation of ERP technology in a particular Organisation, selection of ERP vendors plays an important role. Out of various vendors available SAP is one of the best available vendors as it offers business solutions for all types of enterprises. Once the ERP software is purchased, the main problem lies with implementation as it is little tricky, so by acquiring training of about 90 days this technology can be easily implemented which can do wonders.
Conclusion
Though ERP is one of the effective method of organising business information system, but the software suite is very costly, but once implemented, this technology yields profits and improves the Supply Chain Network, hence it will not be wrong to say that ERP is an one time investment, which on successful implementation just yields profits and achieves the customer satisfaction, which is the ultimate goal of every organisation.
Reflection 2 (Week 9 – Week 11)

The main challenge lies in ERP vendor selection. For successful development of a particular project organizational change and business process re-engineering plays an important role, as this process plays a major role in ERP implementation technique. This method deals with creating a awareness regarding Organizational Project Management Maturity Model which has the 3 main phases like knowledge, assessment and improvement (Motiwalla.L & Thompson.J) . Sometimes this change Management is essential for enhancing the overall quality management so as to reduce the risks and increase the benefits. For successful implementation of the above technique is essential, which requires commitment of senior management through well developed collaboration Plan. Another main phase in project management is ethics and security management. Ethics deals with doing the things which are morally correct, this security management can be achieved by outsourcing, offsourcing and selecting a SaaS model for cloud computing purposes, as these methods plays an important role in ERP implementation. The last phase deals with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) which makes use of various CRM process and technologies like marketing, security, sales so as to achieve the main motive of customer satisfaction.
Conclusion
Project Management is very essential for successful development of a project. ERP implementation plays an important role in project development life cycle as it organises the Business Information System very well, which is often achieved by change management process. Security and ethics management are key factors for successful development of a project. Once the project is developed, the main task is CRM, which can be achieved by various CRM tools and techniques to achieve the main function of customer satisfaction, which is the ultimate goal of every organization.
Conclusion
The above assignment deals with writing two reflections of nearly 300 words each. Reflection normally means brief highlights of knowledge gained in studying a particular topic. Introduction, Main content and Conclusion are the main outlines of any reflective paper. 11 lecture slides were provided and the task was to write one reflection from week 1 to week 8 and other reflection from week 9 to week 11. The lecture slides of week 1 to week 8 contain the information on ERP and the remaining slides contained the information on project management. Hence accordingly, the two reflections are written one highlighting the knowledge about ERP and other about Project Management.
