    Ozark Feed and Ag Corporation: The ERP Decision

    Jan Hammond, Paul Kalmbach and Eric Bernstein

    This case describes a medium-sized business that manufactures animal feed for commercial and companion animals. The company has been growing rapidly and is considering whether or not to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Ozark currently uses an IT system built and refined in house and, though less flexible than desired, allowed for some specific functionality the company used, such as a pricing system tied to the company’s commodity hedging positions on a real-time, as well as off-the-shelf systems, for recording financial transactions and reporting, purchasing, warehouse management, and manufacturing execution. The case provides an overview of ERP systems and implementation. Ozark is deciding among three ERP options; different senior executives support different options.
