EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Dyson is based on unique and innovative concept. It’s presence across the globe and containing the image as British brand makes it unique. Dyson’s objective is to share data, information and knowledge within its branches across the globe. In recent times Dyson measured the procurement of enterprise resource planning software to get competitive edge, which causes fundamental change in technical behaviour of the employees.

Key sensitising issues are as follows:

  • Core processes and high level information needs.
  • Feasibility of implementing and Enterprise system.
  • Methodologies in implementing an ERP system.
  • Change management issues focusing on Business Process Reengineering and EIS.

It is worth to consider the flexibility of an enterprise system which offers information management and in line with the future information needs. Dyson having presence across the globe and being manufacturing organization, its enterprise system contains some benefits like automation and globalization of company. Although it is highly expensive but still its benefits are more than as compare to its cost.

Enterprise resource planning system has played vital role to improve Dyson’s supply chain. ERP integrated the supplier, distributor, retailers and customers. This enables Dyson to take immediate decisions. ERP system allows maximizing the value of the product by adopting the measures like improved quality, customer's satisfaction and decreased cost.
