When implementing a MRP system to
handle enterprise resource planning your
business faces a choice; an off-the-shelf

smaller solution designed specifically for
your industry niche.

available, some of which command a significant
share of the market. But how do you choose which
is right for your business?

The pitfalls of a popular package
For many companies, the popularity of a particular package will make it an
attractive choice for their own ERP system. However:




                                                                             www.sanderson.com
The pitfalls of a popular package
    For many companies, the popularity of a particular package will make it an
    attractive choice for their own ERP system. However:




1       A one-size-fits-all enterprise resource planning package by definition
        cuts corners to meet the basic needs of a range of industries

        The ERP system will require customisation at additional cost

        implementation, but creating issues over a lifetime of use
