Realization of the need of an ERP System by Dabur
Before 1999, Dabur used FoxPro for its key .business activities and logistics. Dabur has an enormous logistic network. It has 29 factories where different .products are manufactured. Truckloads .of goods are dispatched from. these factories every day. These finished goods are stored in six. warehouses and from there are sent. to more than 750 large distributors all over the country. With operations .at such a high scale, FoxPro was not. able to meet all the requirements.
Fox Pro is a Database Management .System (DBMS) which supports relationships .between tables but is not a Relational DBMS. It lacks transactional .processing. It had a separate and a unique .data base for every department like sales, finance etc. This resulted in duplication of. the data, data …show more content…
Outbound Logistics in April, 2001.It was implemented in major warehouses all .over the country. Dabur has five .main SBUs (Strategic Business Units) which are:
• Distribution
• Planning
• Finance
• Sales
• IT
•
Each of these five SBU’s had different. requirement with respect to outbound logistics. Dabur catered to different. segments like health care, pharmaceutical, food products etc. The implementation team had to put in place a common. business model which would cater to each of these .business units simultaneously.
With MFG/PRO, Dabur could reap. benefits in various locations that it was implemented as follows:
Improvement in sales dispatches-Sales were evenly distributed .throughout the month instead of piling up during the month ends.
Improvement in collection. process-Initially there were a lot of cases of payment. defaults as there were many ‘pushed sales’ to .meet the sales target. With the implementation. of MFG/PRO the collection of payments improves as now. the sales were evenly spread across the month There was also a considerable. reduction in stock inventory and sales returns.
