1. Consider this figure which shows a company before implementing ERP. a. How would a sales person know what they are able to promise to a customer? (What sources of data would they have to give them the information they needed to know to make the promise? Think of both automated and human sources of information) b. Suppose there were 100 bicycles in the finished goods inventory database and there were 300 bicycles in the manufacturing plan over the next two weeks. If a customer wanted 300 bicycles in two weeks would the sales person be able to promise the customer 300 bicycles? Beyond just hoping and/or lying to the customer, how would the sales person know he/she could promise that amount? c. Suppose you promised the customer 300 bicycles in two weeks and then another sales person using the same methodology that you used in b promised a different customer 300 bicycles in two weeks, what problems would the company have? 2. Now consider this figure, after ERP a. Answer questions a, b and c for this situation. 1. Consider this figure which shows a company before implementing ERP. a.
