Description

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 business systems analysis necessary to make decisions about information systems implementations. 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 ERP processes are also used as a basis for business systems analysis methods and documentation. The unit has a substantial lab-based practical component where the features of the ERP application are configured and administrated by students.

Prerequisite Rule

Students enrolled into L71 must have completed MAN5902 (Business Systems Analysis).

Equivalent Rule

Unit was previously coded MAN6915.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Apply the navigation and systems operation features of an ERP system in an organisation context.
  2. Explain the implementation and configuration of business processes in an ERP system.
  3. Articulate the role of business systems analysis in ERP system implementations.
  4. Analyse business requirements and identify how they are supported by ERP processes.

Unit Content

  1. Microsoft Dynamics AX architecture and configuration.
  2. Financial integration and ERP.
  3. Procurement and sales management.
  4. Inventory management and costing. Domain Class Modelling.
  5. Domain Classes design and Design Class Models.
  6. Materials requirements planning.
  7. Production management using master resource planning (MRPII) and Just-in-Time (JIT).
  8. Cost and benefits of ERP.
  9. The ERP implementation cycle.
  10. Use Cases Analysis and Systems Sequence Diagram.
  11. Factors that lead to the development, implementation, training and change management of ERP systems.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Assessment

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
