ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, and MRP for Material Resource Planning. MRP systems preceded ERP. The former can be called an ERP that is limited in its scope to cover the processes from purchase of materials to different stages of production to finished goods. ERP of today is much bigger in scope and is not supposed to leave out any aspect of any business.
ERP is not an end but a means to the end and the end is that the businesses must perform in the manner desired by the management. A good ERP enables all departments of the business to work in coordination with each other, rather than one department maximizing its performance while speedbumping the others. Specially when a business is growing, the interdepartmental synchronization becomes ever more important, and it is the ERP that makes this coordination and synchronization happen, without any friction.
A good ERP is a good investment because it brings many noticeable and other benefits to the businesses, even though some managers either fail to exploit the ERP capabilities or see how the ERP is helping in critical decision making. For example, a good ERP can help the managers determine which department is adversely impacting the production capacities, which department is lagging most in its budgets and KPIs, or which is too fast or too slow compared to others.
If chosen wisely, ERP is often affordable if seen in the context of how useful it is going to be for the business. An unwise decision might lead to buying an ERP that is too complex, meant for a different type of business, or simply too expensive for what it does.
