Abstract:

 

Until just a few years ago, decision–making relied on paper-based processes, the human mind and a basic medium of communication. Today our decisions are based on what our systems reveal to us. But with greater information comes greater responsibilities. The larger the volume of information captured the longer the list of parameters for our managers to correlate and manage, which also means a greater risk of making mistakes. What if we had a mechanism to correlate mind-boggling volumes of information, reveal business insights directly to managers and make appropriate decisions automatically too?  Imagine the possible efficiencies in decision making that could be achieved.

 

This paper seeks to explore the application of Complex Event Processing technology across the Supply Chain through real –time correlation of events, hence reducing latency in decision making and maximizing business benefit.

Your ERP software consultants or vendor will not "live" with the results of a failed implementation; your organization will.

This means organizations must control their ERP project destiny by becoming more educated, self-reliant, fulfilling project responsibilities and properly utilizing consultants. After all, from the perspective of the organization successful ERP is software that actually satisfies business needs, employees that really understand the system, and implementation costs that are significantly less than "consultant driven" projects. The reality is ERP projects do not fail overnight; they fail one project management decision at a time. The good news is a high percentage of implementation costs, software disappointments and go-live disasters are avoidable
