  1. How does an ERP system support the concept of 'real-time visibility' for management?

    SMBs typically face resource constraints—limited IT expertise and tighter budgets—that make full ERP implementations more challenging than for large enterprises.

    Answer: Providing executive oversight, resolving cross-departmental conflicts, and approving major decisions

    The steering committee is composed of senior leaders who provide strategic guidance, remove roadblocks, and ensure the project aligns with business goals.

    Answer: Lot traceability

    Lot traceability in ERP allows companies to track materials and components through every stage of production for quality control and recall management.

  5. What is the significance of 'user acceptance testing (UAT)' before an ERP go-live?

    Answer: It lets actual end users verify the system performs real business scenarios correctly before launch

    UAT ensures that business users confirm the configured ERP accurately supports their real workflows before the system goes live.
