Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
The aim of this unit is to explain how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications support business operations and processes. The unit will focus upon Microsoft Dynamics AX, and the principles applicable 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 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 online mode will access the program via Blackboard and regular on line access is required. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required readings and staying abreast of Laboratory tasks.
