The challenges for LG:
? Location specific multiple systems leading to unclear top-level reporting, lack of optimum
resource utilization
? Location specific processes lacking transparency and automation needs for a global reporting
? Disengaged employees, limited outlook, no room for information or best practices sharing
? Limited localized resources for employee learning and training
? Challenges with decision making, with significant business impact
Selection criteria for ERP solutions:
LG?s familiarity with Oracle technology made it easier to finalize a solution. It offered large data
hosting, seamless migration of old data, easy scalability, multiple modules addition as needed and
centralized access and control. LG hired Oracle Consulting to build a single centralized system which
integrates available Oracle HR modules for uniform use at global level, thereby replacing location
specific system dependency.
Questions:
(a) What are the reasons for LG electronics to go for ERP package?
(b) What criteria is considered by LG to select a particular vendor of ERP?
(c) What are the benefits achieved by LG by using ERP software in their company?
