Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software systems are composed of a wide range of software products supporting daily business operations and decision-making process of a corporation. ERP integrates and automates operations of supply chain management, inventory control, manufacturing scheduling, and production, sales support, customer relationship management, financial and cost accounting, human resources, and many other business processes (Hitt et al. 2002).

ERP systems are a suite of integrated business applications, which have grown to include most major functions such as accounting, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, operations, human resources, customer relationships management, etc. Organization use them to collect, store, manage, and interpret data from these various business activities.

ERP is basically a software platform for smooth running of the entire process automation, i.e., from raw material procurement to final product shipment. The main goal of ERP is to cut cost and to enhance the performance of any automation process to maximize profit. ERP helps in the following ways:Reduced operational costIncreased company profitAppropriate use of process automationMore accurate data with real-time informationBetter management of company assets, inventories, capacity, schedules, forecasts, orders, etc.

As the quality and quantity of the functionalities of various ERP packages continue to improve, enterprises often find that these built-in processes cannot always provide the support required for the enterprise to effectively complete their own unique working processes, indicating that so-called “industry best practices” incorporated into commercial ERP packages are not universal (Soh et al., 2000). Therefore, it has become increasingly necessary for enterprises to customize commercial ERP systems. Customization is defined as the changing, modification, or expansion of functionalities of a standardized commercial ERP package for the purpose of achieving a “fit” between the ERP system and the client company’s business processes that the system supports (Parthasarathy & Daneva, 2014). The “fit” (i.e., match) indicated above is a critical success factor of ERP implementation/customization initiatives from the perspective of sociotechnical integration (Ram et al., 2013; Van Roekel & Van Der Steen, 2019). Luo and Strong (2004) also indicate that finding an adequate fit between a firm’s business processes and ERP system by appropriately customizing both the organization and ERP system is key to the success of ERP implementation projects.

A vast majority of medium and large manufacturing companies around the world have made significant investments in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Commercial ERP solutions, having evolved from the initial MRP, and the subsequent MRP II systems, follow the basic process of Master Production Scheduling (MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP). In 2019, the ERP FOCUS software directory listed 142 ERP solution providers supporting the Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII) systems (https://www.erpfocus.com/erp-vendor-directory.html). Included in the list were the ERP market leaders: SAP, Oracle, Sage, SYSPRO, Microsoft Dynamics, and many others. Still, to this day, MRP methods remain integrated into the latest generation of ERP solutions and, thus, it is clear that MRP-based systems not only continue to dominate the manufacturing planning and control in practice but may continue to do so for several years to come.

In order to reasonably and orderly arrange the production tasks of shop floor equipment, the intelligent manufacturing system needs to formulate production plans. ERP system manages enterprise resources, including production management, logistics management, purchasing management, sales management, financial management and human resource management. Material Requirement Planning (MRP), the core function of ERP system, emphasizes the production planning (Jungsook and Jang 2014). The formation process of MRP is as follows: first, ERP system obtains the product information from PLM system, including design data of CAD, CAM and CAE systems, product parts information and MBOM; second, ERP system is integrated with WMS, CRM and SCM systems to obtain material information, customer information and supplier information, then formulates the main production plan; finally, the main production plan combines product structure information and process information in MBOM to generate MRP. ERP system decomposes the MRP into shop floor annual/monthly production plan. Under the condition of considering resource constraints, MES decomposes the production plan into daily/hour/minute work plan according to the process route of each parts for scheduling. MES sends scheduling task to SCADA system in the way of work instructions. The SCADA system sends control instructions to the equipment layer to provide guidance for workpiece machining or assembly. MES gathers production data of equipment layer through SCADA system and manages equipment operation information. ERP system adjusts production plan based on equipment operation information fed back from MES. The integrated framework of PLM, MES and ERP systems is shown in Figure 5.
