ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning; it is an advancement over MRP and MRPII. Its main function is to manage inventory, purchases, and production, serving as the company’s management system.

It can work well, but it requires a lot of effort and financial resources. BP uses SAP on a global scale, which involves significant investment; training is also very important. Some foreign companies use a system called JDE, but after the training, the people who were trained left, and now that system is essentially useless. The maintenance department has had to revert to manual management – if you don’t have the right skills, don’t take on such tasks. Without the continuous attention and understanding of leadership, as well as sustained financial investment, any attempt to simply spend some money to solve the problem once and for all will not work.
