This workshop is designed to provide an introduction to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and its potential application in the SME Manufacturing workplace.

The workshop will cover topics such as the different types of ERP, the difference between ERP, MRP, MES, CRM and other jargon, the benefits of using ERP, typical modules covered by ERP, and the basics of selecting and implementing a modern ERP system, providing participants key take-aways that can be applied in the workplace.
