SECTION A (40 marks)
Case Study
In-text citation and references (or sources) using the Harvard
referencing style are required for this section
This
section is based on the Case 1.1, Opening Case, Hershey’s
Enterprise 21 Project, page 2-3 of your textbook.
As
an external consultant, you have been hired by Hershey Foods Inc. to evaluate
the effectiveness of the processes they undertook in implementing its ERP
system and to present your evaluation in report format to the CEO of Hershey
Foods Inc. You have been asked to use,
for the body of your report, the format given in the file, Analyzing a Case Study. The
rest of the report format should follow your Communication skills handbook.
Using
the knowledge covered in Module 1-4 and supplemented by at least 4 academically
sound external sources:
1.
Your report should identify, evaluate and discuss:
a.
The implementation strategy used by Hershey Food
Inc.
b.
The processes that contributed to the final outcome,
positively and/or negatively:
c.
The processes that posed a risk and how those risks
were/could have been minimized,
2.
Your report should end with an evaluation of the
overall effectiveness of the implementation and a ‘lessons learned’ section to
inform any future ERP implementation.
NOTE: You should restrict your report only to topics covered in Chapters 1- 4 and not extend it to cover the full implementation process.
Length:
1500-2000 words.
SECTION B (15 marks)
Complete the
SAP exercise as directed in tutorials 3-5, and as you do so keep a journal of
your activities and your experience in learning to use SAP. Also record the SAP outputs in a separate
file as follows:
1. Create a Word document,
include your name, student number and SAP UserID as a heading. In this document
create a two column table to record your SAP outputs, output label in column 1
and output in column 2.
2.
As you read the SAP exercise instructions, note the information in the
right hand column, e.g.
1.
p.3: the first entry is “Menu Path” and further down the page is a list of
your inputs, “US00, UE00, WH, BI”. (inputs do not need to be included in the
table).
2.
p. 4: in amongst the first group of inputs you will find “###”.
1.
Whenever you see ### you should input your User#, the one included in the
email I sent to you early in the semester.
3.
p. 5: Inputs continue until the last item in the right column when you need
to record your first output, “Customer Number”. Most outputs appear in the
bottom row of the SAP screen immediately after processing and disappear once
you proceed.
1.
Ensure that you record the Output label, Customer Number in this instance,
in the first column and the customer number shown Please note: screen drops are
not required.at the bottom of the screen, including any leading 0s.
2.
Repeat this process for all future outputs.
- Submit this file containing the
outputs to the SAP exercise to EASE.
- Append a copy of your journal for the
first exercise as a separate section of the Report file for
submission.
In the
allocation of marks, your inputs in the SAP GBI database (as shown in a SAP
report of your activity by User ID), your submitted journal and SAP exercise
outputs will be taken into account.
Please note, no marks will be given if the SAP report generated does not
produce a record of any activity by your User ID).
