efficiency

student life cycle. They need to manage numerous programmes, courses, student
and
employee
performance and records and provide services to students.

areas where ERP solutions can help them by focusing on the student life cycle
and
identifying the supporting functional areas. (10 Marks)

functional areas within the organisation. How can
Internet technologies and today’s latest trends like social

customers, suppliers,
and others stakeholders? Explain this with an example. (10

3. Synergy Pvt. Ltd. is a retail grocery store chain with a
central distribution centre and 50
retail stores in a major metropolitan area. Managers at all levels
at the head office, at the
distribution centre, and in the retail stores need reports to
develop a sales plan that
indicates the expected sales volume for each item for the
subsequent week. The
distribution managers require actual delivery data as against the
delivery standards to
optimize distribution. All orders from the local stores are filled
from the central
distribution centre. The central distribution centre purchases
inventory from suppliers
and allocates it to the local stores based on a sales forecasting
report. If a local store
needs to replenish its stock because an item has fallen below a
desired inventory level, the
store manager can request additional stock from the central
distribution centre.
Synergy Pvt. Ltd. is facing a problem of managing its distribution
system and delay in
accounting. The company requires a system to control inventories
and manage the
distribution process of various products to the stores. Delay in
sales information is the
main cause of concern.
a. How can an ERP address their concern? Discuss the inter
relationship between various
functions to justify your answer. (5 Marks)
b. Outline the broad requirements of a new system identifying the
players and atleast three
tasks at each level . (5 Marks)
