ERP History FAQ
Who invented ERP?
Tractor and construction machinery manufacturer J.I. Case worked with IBM to develop what is believed to be the first MRP system in the early 1960s.
What’s the difference between an MRP and ERP system?
MRP systems preceded ERP systems. Early MRP, or material resource planning, systems offered basic inventory control to help manage procurement and delivery of goods. ERP systems first appeared in the ’90s and pulled in information from other parts of the business, like accounting, sales and HR.
What is manufacturing resource planning, a.k.a. MRP II?
Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) systems arrived in the 1980s and were a significant step up from first-generation MRP systems. They incorporated additional manufacturing processes and got other departments involved in manufacturing to improve production efficiency and scheduling.
When did ERP systems become popular?
This software became more accessible and affordable in the ’80s and ’90s as companies like Oracle and JD Edwards developed and sold solutions. This meant businesses no longer had to build these systems themselves.
What is cloud ERP?
Cloud ERP is an ERP solution delivered through the internet that doesn’t require on-premises servers or other infrastructure. It first appeared in the late ’90s, gained traction in the mid-late 2000s and has become extremely popular in recent years.
What is ERP II?
ERP II refers to internet-enabled ERP systems, including cloud solutions, that use web connections to send and receive information from various applications. Gartner came up with the term “ERP II” in 2000 to christen a new generation of ERP systems.
How do ERP systems use machine learning?
Machine learning technology uses data and feedback to learn patterns and make judgments that inform additional analytics and insights. In the context of ERP, machine learning can automate reporting, reconciliation and the flagging of inconsistencies or errors.
