Module 1 — Enterprise Systems
Covers enterprise systems used across apparel businesses.
What you will be able to do
Place work in the right system: ERP for the order, materials, costs and inventory; PLM for the product, its specification and its approvals — with a defined handover between them.
The practical work
Take one order and list every data item it needs, then mark whether it belongs in PLM or ERP and who owns it. Find each point where the same figure is typed twice, and decide which system should be the single source.
Prerequisite: No prior module required.
