Ask on WhatsAppThe course “ERP Systems Applications in Companies and Operational Efficiency Improvement” is an advanced training program designed to enable participants to understand and apply Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to integrate and automate the company’s core operations, including finance, procurement, inventory, sales, human resources, production, and customer service. This contributes to improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing decision-making.
In light of the digital transformation taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Vision 2030, ERP systems have become essential for companies of all sizes, especially small and medium-sized enterprises that seek to organize their operations and expand.
The course takes participants from the basic concepts of ERP, including its benefits, components, and history, to selecting the appropriate system based on selection criteria and comparisons between systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Zoho, and others. It then moves to project implementation, covering the ERP implementation lifecycle: planning, analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and support.
The course also covers change management during the transition to ERP, employee training, measuring return on investment (ROI), and best practices for using the system, including Master Data Management, User Adoption, security, and maintenance.
The program is designed to be 60% practical, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on applications using a simplified ERP system such as Odoo Community Edition or Zoho CRM/Books in a training environment.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the concept of ERP, its components, and benefits
Define ERP as an integrated system that consolidates data from all company departments, including finance, procurement, sales, inventory, production, human resources, and customer service, into a single database.
ERP benefits include:
(1) Eliminating data duplication.
(2) Providing a comprehensive view of company performance.
(3) Improving information flow between departments.
(4) Automating manual processes.
(5) Reducing errors.
(6) Improving customer service.
(7) Ensuring regulatory compliance.
• Evaluate and select the appropriate ERP system for the company
Selection criteria include:
(1) Suitability of the system for the company’s size, whether SME or enterprise.
(2) Cost, including licensing, customization, maintenance, and training.
(3) Ease of use.
(4) Flexibility and scalability.
(5) Integration with existing systems.
(6) Technical support and training.
(7) Compatibility with local regulations and platforms, such as ZATCA, e-invoicing, Qiwa, and GOSI.
The course includes a comparison of common ERP systems in the Saudi market, such as SAP Business One, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, and Zoho One.
• Apply the ERP Implementation Lifecycle
The implementation stages include:
(1) Planning: Defining objectives, project scope, project team, budget, and timeline.
(2) Analysis: Analyzing current processes (As-Is) and identifying system requirements (To-Be).
(3) Design: Configuring the system, customizing screens and reports, and designing workflows.
(4) Development: Programming customizations when required.
(5) Testing: Conducting unit testing, integration testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
(6) Deployment: Migrating data, running the new system in parallel with the old system, and then launching the full system (Go-Live).
(7) Support and Maintenance: Supporting users, fixing errors, and managing updates.
• Manage Data Migration and Master Data Preparation
Identify the data to be migrated, such as customers, suppliers, products, customer accounts, inventory balances, and unpaid invoices.
This includes cleaning data by removing duplicates and correcting errors, using data migration tools, and verifying data accuracy after migration.
• Measure the Return on Investment (ROI) of an ERP Project
Calculate costs, including software, hardware, consulting, training, and maintenance, compared with benefits such as time savings, inventory reduction, improved collections, lower operating costs, and increased sales.
The course also covers using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) before and after implementation and calculating the payback period.
• Manage Change and User Adoption
Understand employee resistance to change and apply communication and training strategies.
This includes involving key users in the project, measuring user satisfaction after launch, and ensuring continuous support.
• IT Managers and ERP Administrators in companies.
• Operations Managers, Finance Managers, HR Managers, Procurement Managers, and Sales Managers.
• ERP Consultants working in consulting firms.
• Entrepreneurs and owners of small and medium-sized enterprises who wish to implement ERP.
• Business Analysts and Application Developers.
• Graduates of Information Technology, Management Information Systems (MIS), and Business Administration.
Prepare a comprehensive ERP Implementation Plan of 10–15 pages, including objectives, scope, project team, timeline using a Gantt Chart, budget, risks, and contingency plan.
Build an evaluation matrix for five ERP systems using weighted criteria. Calculate the scores for each system and provide a justified recommendation.
Use BPMN or a Flowchart to map the purchasing process from purchase request to payment before and after ERP implementation, and identify improvements such as approval automation and reduction of process steps.
Create an Excel table showing costs, including one-time and recurring costs, over three years, as well as benefits such as time savings, inventory reduction, and labor cost reduction. Calculate ROI and the payback period.
Use an Excel file containing 100 customer records, clean the data by removing duplicates and standardizing formats, then use a simulated migration tool to import the data into the training system and verify data accuracy.
Define training topics, such as creating a quotation, converting it into a sales order, issuing an invoice, and tracking inventory. Determine the training duration in hours, prepare training materials such as a user guide, and conduct a post-training assessment.
