Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become part of many businesses since the early 1990s. These systems encapsulate and support core business processes and decision making. Many organisations have acquired ERP technology. However, there are considerable risks associated with ERP implementation, maintenance and on-going use. In this unit, you will be provided an overview of enterprise systems and equipped with knowledge required to make informed decisions relating to the selection, adoption and implementation of ERP systems. You will be provided with several examples and case studies to illustrate the benefits ERP systems offer.

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2022
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student evaluations
Students enjoyed the practical nature of the unit with Odoo and SAGE ERP and would like even more ERP tool activities.
Creating additional tutorials on ERP modules would improve students' understanding of how they can capitalise on an ERP system investment.
Feedback from Self-reflection
While the written case studies provide practical examples, videos or presentations from industry practitioners would help students connect what they learn with industry practice.
To enhance learning resources with videos of stories from vendors of ERP systems, industry practitioners and the ERP user community.
Feedback from Self-reflection
It is inconvenient to look up each tutorial question in the textbook.
Revise tutorial questions to allow students to complete tasks without the textbook.
