Abstract

The Military Supply Center is the Hellenic Army’s store with the greatest capabilities. The Center’s main mission is providing supplies to the Armed Forces stationed in Attica, but also providing retail trade services to those who retain the right το make use of its facilities. Regarding that, the Military Supply Center operates like any other private retail trading company. This fact, made the Center’s administration and commanding officers to take action towards it’s dynamic expansion, through business coordinated procedures. The action that takes place is based on adopting the most modern and affective methods and also the study of applying systems to increase competiveness through achieving maximum effectiveness. This took place through a series of decisions that included the modernization of both logistics infrastructure and procedures in order to improve efficiency. The decision to replace the previous existing accounting application with a modernized business resource planning system, was a milestone on the road to wider upgrading and also the central axis on which any further strategy was and will be based. Such a venture, in the modern business world, can is considered multidimensional as it decisively affects all individual parts of the entity. Therefore, when similar projects take place, it is essential to, first, determine the needs that the new system is called to meet as well as to configure it in such a manner in order to achieve the best possible outcome of its potential. This research, therefore, constitutes the academic approach in the procedures that were initiated with the decision to replace the system, its first stages of operation until its final configuration and the ways the system is used in its current state. In the early stages of the analysis, takes place the historical retrospective EKEMS, with a brief description of its evolutionary course while at the same time a presentation of the existing structure, functions and regulatory framework is given, that defines and characterizes all the activities of the center. Based on the drafting standards, but also in order to lay the academic foundations that support the present analysis, the theoretical background that describes the installation, operation and configuration of respective systems is presented. Continuing the theoretical position, concerning EKEMS, the structure and content of a formal cooperation agreement between EKEMS and its cooperating companies are presented. The purpose is to analyze the two-way contractual obligations which are an important part of the framework for building the functions of the system. Having defined the operating philosophy of the central warehouse and laid the foundations of the requirements, to which the processes to be designed and implemented are required to meet, follows the presentation of the configuration of the ERP system. This configuration proved to be a multidimensional process and is presented in three levels, depending on the basic functions and the departments of the warehouse that concerns. More specifically: Peceipts Committee Supply - Stock Managers Wholesale Invoicing Department. Finally, it should be mentioned that reference is made to necessary changes that took place in the procedures of EKEMS, in parallel with the configuration of the ERP, in order to achieve the best results. This analysis’ conclusion is presented, in the form of results from the implementation of both the configuration of the ERP system and the general modernization of the procedures of the central warehouse of EKEMS.
