ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMS - EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
ERP is the acronym of Enterprise Resource Planning, essentially an integrated management of the fundamental processes of a company, and comprises a multitude of factors, such as: hardware, software, personnel, functions, processes, etc. In the last decades, the term ERP has been identified with ERP integrated software systems that enable the integration of all processes and information from a company into a one software platform. The ERP software represents the pillar of any modern company, because its own set of integrated IT applications support the core business processes of all companys departments: accounting, finance, sales, acquisitions, inventory management, human resources, production etc. While mentioning the punched cards and tabulating machines of the 1940s, the modern history of these software systems began with in-house applications in the early 1960s, continued with Material Requirement Planning (MRP) solutions in the mid-1960s, and renewed in the 1980s with Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP II) and in the 1990s with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) name given by Gartner Inc., and with more recent ERP developments in the 21st century, such as ERP II, integration with mobile devices, cloud-based ERP solutions.
