The aim of this unit is to explain how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications support business operations and processes. ECU is a member of the Microsoft Academic Alliance and the unit will focus upon what is proclaimed to be todays fastest selling ERP, Microsoft Dynamics AX, however, the principles apply to all ERP applications. The concepts and framework of ERP are introduced and methods for establishing sound controls to meet organisational objectives identified. Students will demonstrate mastery of knowledge in information technology and e-business necessary to make decisions in international organisational management. The ERP application is used to create an in-depth understanding of the business processes of procurement, sales, inventory management, materials requirement planning (MRP), master resource planning (MRPII) and financial accounting. The unit has a substantial lab-based practical component where the features of the ERP application are configured and administrated by students. The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has created a Core Body of Knowledge (CBOK) to identify IT capabilities and knowledge. This framework has been used to inform the learning outcomes of this unit. The unit is aligned with the ACS CBOK in the following. Assessed in assignments: Problem Solving (Design); Professional Knowledge (Ethics, Professionalism, Teamwork, Interpersonal Communications, Societal Issues, History and Status); Technology Resources (Hardware and Software Fundamentals). Assessed in exam: Professional Knowledge (Ethics, Professionalism, Teamwork, Interpersonal Communications, History and Status); Technology Resources (Hardware and Software Fundamentals, Data and Information management, Networking); Technology Building (Systems Acquisition); Outcomes Management (IT Project Management, Change Management). Not assessed: Problem Solving (Abstraction); Technology Resources (Data and Information management, Networking); Services Management (Service Management, Security Management).
Unit was previously coded MAN6915
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
On campus students attend a weekly one hour lecture and two hour lab. The unit will be taught through an interactive lecture process, whereby students will be asked to answer questions and discuss case studies, the aim being to increase learning and improve communication skills. The use of cases study aids and role playing will enhance student learning. The lab sessions will use the ERP application as a cognitive tool and allow students to apply theory learned in the lectures. The Internet will be a key resource for students, and they will use BlackBoard to access updates, articles, and other unit-related material. Students studying in off campus mode will access the program via Blackboard and regular on line access is required. Students will also need to complete the Lab. sessions remotely. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required readings and staying abreast of Lab. tasks. Regular on line access is required. The unit will, when possible, include guest lecturers and the teaching will be informed by Microsoft the Microsoft Academic Alliance.
