Implementation of an ERP system

There are two parts to this assignment, each part requiring a separate document. You need to submit both documents.
1. Case study
2. SAP exercise
Part 1 of 2 – Case study (35 marks)
Correct referencing
You are required to use
• Harvard in-text citation using the correct format
• Harvard list of reference matching the in-text citation
You will find information about Harvard referencing style on the USQ website, and, should you require further details, there are various other sources on the internet that provide details on the Harvard referencing style.
EndNote
The library also makes EndNote available to students and you are encouraged to use EndNote in this assignment. While it is not compulsory for this assignment to use EndNote, it will be compulsory for assignment 3. EndNote makes the whole referencing and in-text citing process a lot easier and you may wish to consider using it already for assignment 2.
Plagiarism
Please ensure that you are aware of the Academic Integrity Policy. You will find further information on referencing and plagiarism at the USQ web site.
Report Format
You are required to use report format as per USQ web site. The number of words of your report should be between 1,500 and 2,000 words for the body.
As a third year student, your aim is to be succinct and clear in your writing, which means less rather than more words.
The case
The case study for this report is “Overstock.com” on page 137 of your textbook.
You are required to use chapter 1-4 only to address and discuss the following:
1. Document the reasons why the organisation decided to implement an ERP system
2. Identify and discuss the key problems that occurred during the ERP implementation
a. Explain how each of these problems should have been addressed correctly
3. Describe the business process reengineering that the organisation adopted for their ERP implementation.
4. Identify and discuss SDLC approach and provide recommendations for a better implementation.
Part 2of 2 – SAP(15 marks)
For this part of the assignment you are required to complete the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) exercise.
Using a separate word document, you are required to keep a journal as you work through this exercise.
• Keep a journal of your activities and your experience in learning to use SAP.
• Take screen shots of your outputs, and occasions that you have created a new customer, etc. and have been provided with a new ID (such as on page 5).
• On page 4 you are asked to use your three digit GBI number to replace ### through the document and where requested.
o Recall that if you received a two digit GBI number then you need to remember to prefix it with a 0 (zero).
o This GBI number is not only your login, but will identify the data you entered throughout this exercise as your own, to prevent clashes with another students work.
• In the allocation of marks, your inputs in the SAP GBI database (as shown in a SAP report of your activity by User ID), your submitted journal, and SAP exercise outputs will be taken into account. Please note, no marks will be given if the SAP report generated does not produce a record of any activity by your User ID).
