Baan History

Posted in BAAN tagged , , , , at 11:31 am by robbynovricanus

Baan was a vendor of popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that is now owned by SSA Global Technologies (now owned by Infor) .

The Baan Corporation was created by Jan Baan in 1978 in Barneveld, Netherlands, to provide financial and administrative consulting services. With the development of his first software package, Jan Baan entered what was to become the ERP industry. The development of the company was heavily supported by local Dutch Reformed christian businesspeople. A few years later his brother, Paul, joined what was to become the largest software family firm in Dutch history. The Baan company focused on the creation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.

In 1998 the Baan Corporation was exposed to be manipulating profits in a prelude to the big accounting scandals that marked the turn of the century. First Paul Baan left the company as a result of this, shortly after to be followed by brother Jan. The loss of confidence in the Baan Corporation was reflected in a rapidly declining share of the BaaN program in the ERP market.

In June 2000, facing worsening financial difficulties, law suits and reporting seven consecutive quarterly losses and bleak prospects, Baan was sold to Invensys, a UK automation, controls and process solutions group to create its new Software and Services Division.

In June 2003 poor market performance of BaanERP (Baan V) and delays in introducing the new Baan version (code named Gemini) led Invensys to sell Baan to SSA Global Technologies for a cash consideration of US$ 135 million. The sale of Baan was consistent with Invensys’ stated objectives to divest non-core assets as part of its overall plan to improve capital strength and increase strategic focus.

Upon acquiring the Baan software SSA Global ceased to promote the Baan brand, instead referring to it as SSA Baan. In August 2004, after a delaying the release of Gemini to allow for improvements SSA Global released SSA ERP LN 6.1.

In September 2004, Jan Baan has launched a new Web services company Cordys. Cordys’ core architecture is a business collaboration platform known as an Enterprise Service Bus - built on XML and open standards - for creating enterprise-class composite application frameworks.

belajar ERP melalui CPIM

Posted in ERP, IPOMS tagged , , , , , , , , , , at 4:42 pm by robbynovricanus

CPIM

didapat dari milis APICS-ID.

Sebenarnya jika ingin mempelajari atau belajar mengenai Business Process ERP System, dapat melalui module2 CPIM dari APICS (http://www.apics.org) yang terdiri dari 5 module (hal ini digambarkan seperti bangunan rumah, lihat gambar di atas) sebagai berikut:

- Basic of Supply Chain Management (BSCM)

- Master Planning of Resources (MPR)

- Detailed Scheduling and Planning (DSP)

- Execution and Control of Operations (ECO)

- Strategic Management of Resources (SMR)

BSCM – Basics of Supply Chain Management (Module 1)

This module covers basic concepts in managing the complete flow of materials in a supply chain from suppliers to customers. The Basics module introduces supply chain concepts and emphasizes basic terminology, but it also covers relationships among activities in the supply chain. Knowledge of the material in this module is assumed as a prerequisite for the other CPIM modules, which cover similar topics
but in much greater depth.

Four main topics have been used to organize the domain of Basics of Supply Chain Management. The relative importance of a topic is not necessarily reflected by its level in the outline. The relative
importance of these topics will vary among industries, but for study purposes the percentage figures given below can be used as guidelines.

I Businesswide Concepts,
II Demand Planning,
III Transformation of Demand into Supply,
IV Supply

MPR – Master Planning of Resources (Module 2)

This module examines both supply and demand planning for mid- to long-term independent demand. Major topics include demand management, sales and operations planning, and maser scheduling. Both priority planning and capacity planning issues are addressed.

Demand Management is the function of recognizing all demands for goods and services to support the marketplace. It includes forecasting, order servicing and customer relationship management, and distribution planning Sales and Operations Planning is a process that brings together all the plans for the business (e.g., sales, marketing, product development, manufacturing, sourcing, finance). The result is
an integrated set of plans by product family.

Master Scheduling is the process of generating, reviewing, and updating the master production schedule to keep it consistent with the production plan.

I Demand Management,
II Sales and Operations Planning,
III Master Scheduling

DSP – Detailed Scheduling and Planning (Module 3)

The subject matter of Detailed Scheduling and Planning includes inventory management, material requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, and procurement and supplier planning.
Detailed Scheduling and Planning translates product-level plans and schedules generated at the master planning level into requirements that can be procured or produced. This process supports the strategies
and objectives established by the company, as constrained by lead time, cost, equipment, personnel, or other constraints. The subject matter therefore encompasses anything required to bridge the master
planning area with the execution and control area of the CPIM body of knowledge. Relevant strategy-level implications are also considered.

I Planning Material Requirements to Support the Master Schedule,
II Planning Operations to Support the Priority Plan,
III Planning Procurement and External Sources of Supply

ECO – Execution and Control of Operations (Module 4)

Execution and Control of Operations encompasses the principles, approaches, and techniques needed to schedule, control, measure, and evaluate the effectiveness of production operations. This certification module addresses a broad base of production operations including project, batch, line, continuous, and remanufacturing environments. It provides feedback about how well plans are being executed and provides information for customers and suppliers about the status of work in process (WIP). The importance and emphasis of the principles, approaches and techniques addressed are relative to the production environment, the labor environment, and the physical organization of the plant, brought about through effective people management and leadership.

I Prioritizing and Sequencing Work to be Performed,
II Executing the Plans, Implementing Physical Controls, and Reporting Results of Activities Performed,
III Evaluating Performance and Providing Feedback

SMR – Strategic Management of Resources (Module 5)

The subject matter in the Strategic Management of Resources module includes higher-level thinking on strategic planning and implementation. This requires an understanding of how market requirements drive the resources and processes of all organizations.
The strategic management of resources has the potential to dramatically increase any organization’s competitive position. Operations strategy is the foundation upon which operations planning
and control decisions should be based. Strategic decision-making significantly affects the organization and often requires widespread changes. To contribute to this effort, the candidate must understand
how an organization develops its strategic goals, and how it configures its systems and technologies to address strategic objectives.
This examination focuses on the relationship of existing and emerging systems and concepts to the strategy and the functions related to operations planning and control The successful candidate must
understand how Strategic Management of Resources relates to the CPIM body of knowledge as defined by the other CPIM modules.

I Aligning the Resources with the Strategic Plan,
II Configuring and Integrating the Operating Processes to Support the Strategic Plan,
III Implementing Change

Lima modul akan dibahas pada kegiatan dengan nama Group Study di mana tiap kota akan ada Group Study, jika ingin sudah yakin menguasai lima modul tsb silakan ikut ujian CPIM. mohon lebih lanjut silakan kunjungi web IPOMS di alamat http://www.ipoms.web.id/j/

belajar ERP

Posted in ERP tagged , , , , , , , , , , , at 3:54 pm by robbynovricanus

beberapa hari ini lagi seneng melakukan yang namanya Blog Walking ceritanya mencari inspirasi untuk update blog sendiri. sewaktu lagi blogwalking terus ditambah ada kerjaan untuk memperdalam aplikasi yang namanya ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning).

setelah mencari ternyata banyak sekali gimana belajar ERP dengan yang namanya SAP, tadinya mencari tutorial untuk ERP BAAN cuman ga tau kenapa sedikit sekali, cuman karena niatnya pengen belajar maka dipelajari deh SAP nya.

salah satunya dari web www.erpweaver.com, web ini bagus untuk belajar ERP SAP soalnya di link Pustaka banyak sekali ebook yang bisa dipelajari untuk SAP malah moderator web ini memang berkecimpung di dunia ERP. dalam web tsb disajikan function dari SAP, ABAP Programming dan juga tentang bisnis prosesnya.

soalnya dari pengalaman di ERP BAANIVc4, untuk mendukung belajar ERP kita harus belajar bisnis prosesnya, karena ERP dulu dibuat oleh orang-orang  yang mahir di bidang OM (operation management), SCM (supply chain management) kemudian berkolaborasi dengan yang mahir di bidang programming 4 GL.

bisnis proses bisa dipelajari dari OM (Operation Management), SCM (Supply Chain Management) dari kedua hal ini akan membuat kita paham bagaimana suatu proses bisnis berjalan baik itu dari planning, hubungan dengan supplier, warehouse management system, production, sales, pengiriman barang, LOT tracking dan lain-lain, malah jika benar-benar paham maka ERP dari vendor manapun akan mudah dikuasai karena bisnis prosesnya sudah dikuasai.

sekedar berbagi supaya bisa membuka dikit bagaimana belajar ERP. makin maju SDM Indonesia.
