LERP-586: IT Adoption: ERP and Inventory Management Report a Broken Link
This course has two specific areas of emphasis: the basics of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and inventory management and the implementation and adoption of these applications. It will provide the opportunity to attain a deeper understanding of contemporary technology issues in four related areas: understanding the requirements and selecting the software; evaluating the software and the vendor; inventory management; and implementation methodology, adoption, and performance evaluation. The course also provides an opportunity to research and develop an individual project assignment looking at an executive’s perspective on ERP, or inventory management application implementation experiences.
