ERP facilitates a company wide integrated information
systems covering all functional areas such as manufacturing,
sales and distribution, accounts, payables, receivables,
inventory ,human resources etc. ERP solution includes
manufacturing, marketing as well as finance sectors. The
main steps in development of such a software package are:

2. Designing the programme.
3. Debugging.
4. Testing
5. Documentation.
6. Maintenance.
7. Redesign.

16. Development of ERP package for textiles:
DEFINING THE PROBLEM
It includes feeding of data (i.e. specifications of input and output processing
requirements).Thus to design such a system one requires to know various
parameters of textile.
Fibre Module: - It consists of market price of fibres as well as technical
specifications like grade, fineness, strength, moisture regain, etc should be
included.
Yarn Module: - It includes various technical, process as well as commercial
details.
i. Technical parameters like yarn count, strength, weight, CV%, twist, quality
ratio, breaking strength and irregularity.
ii. Production details like lot number, shift production, efficiency and
wastage.
iii. Process parameters like carding, drawing, spinning.
iv. Commercial details like end use, market price etc.
11/23/15AAF, Lecturer-BUTex16
17. Fabric Module: - It includes Technical specifications like
yarn count for warp and weft, reed count, ends and picks
per inch, process specification at winding.
ii. Process details like weight and fabric width, no. of
knots, sizing paste, size take up, ends and picks, fabric
faults etc.
Marketing Module:-This deal with store section and

feasibility of requested dates for delivery, suggest possible delivery,
manage the entire order cycle from acceptance and entry to packing list,
shipping and invoicing, manage the price list, allow orders to be
accepted via internet, order taking, booking of stocks.
2. Second Step: Second step is article coding (giving codes to
different end products).The code structure of each article type
may be named and defined as per software developer or user
and parameters required.
3. Third Step: Planning is next step. It means working from given
budget and production plan and calculating material and capacity
requirements, laundering production orders.

19. Development of ERP package for textiles:
Fourth Step: Next step is checking of product manufacturing. It allows
planning, laundering and tracking of production activities across whole
cycle and to handle fault reporting and mapping, optimizing cutting of
pieces at each inspection cycle. Inventory and purchasing should be taken
care of defining purchasing and stock policies by specifying minimum
inventory levels, re-order quantities and replenishment times.

20. Development of ERP package for textiles:
DEBUGGING: - it is the procedure of correcting the errors.
TESTING: - it is the checking of correction of individual
programme as well as complete system.
DOCUMENTATION: - it gives full description of package
and details for executing the system.
MAINTENANCE: - it is the preservation of complete
package.
REDESIGN: - it is the extension and changes as per the
requirements of individual situation.
