ERP Implementation Proposal Nestle company 3
Organizations current situation
Nestle company has for long been on the forefront for providing food and pharmaceutical
services in Switzerland. The organization has expanded significantly to cover a large area, and
its services are exceptional based on the quality and amount of revenue generated in the
company (Hudak, 2018). The high revenue development in the company has been attributed to
the positive publicity and the high-quality service provided in the organization. Since the
organization operates all over Switzerland, many branches have been established in all the
major towns and cities in the country. The management of all this entities has however proven
to be a challenge. The current technology employed in the management ensures that each of
the established partners operates independently though they are members of the same
enterprise. There is, however, uniformity in the branding of products, but the operations differ
entirely (Hudak, 2018). For instance, the establishment of vanilla was found out to be offering
completely different services from the main one in Switzerland. The process made it be viewed
as a partnering organization rather than part of the organization itself. The activities differed and
also the pricing of the products was found to be different for two selling points of the same
company.
The ordering system for each unit was also not uniform, and the labeling for the same order
obtained at different selling points was also seen to differ significantly. The various outlets in
America were seen to be independent companies who were affiliated to nestle. The deviation in
services from one outlet to the other reduced the reliability of the operations, and in some other
cases, the operation cost for the organization in one outlet was seen to be higher than that of
the other sections (Monk & Wagner, 2013). There are also challenges being faced in the
efficiency of the organization since the production and distribution process is not coordinated

uniformly every member is seen to operate in their ways which makes it difficult to control the
entire operations of the organization.
Additionally enforcing security in the organization is also a challenge. Monitoring the food
products in the institution is a problem since most of the products are produced without the
knowledge of the leading organization. The number of headquarters is also high which makes
coordination of all activities in the entire organization difficult. Each institution is required to
report to their offices, and the report is not a real-time which creates chances of fraud and other
crime-related activities. The method of data transfer involves one seeking information about a
company through contacting and in most cases not every member is informed about a particular
event in the organization the result is that the organization information transfer takes time before
being processed and transferred to the other users. Each party has their operations and the
information going out is only after it has been shared by the individual in the specific area to
another department on request. The result is that there are delays in data transfer and activities
are taking longer than they should lead to an effect on the efficiency and integrity of the
information given.
Business process re-engineering sections
In the light of the above analysis and the situation faced by the Nestle company, different parts
need to be changed within the organization to minimize on the weaknesses of the organization.
For instance, there is a need for change in the communication section of the organization. The
organization's communication is not integrated into a conventional system. Different units are
operating differently, and information from one selling point to another takes a lengthy
procedure to reach the other destination (Conard, 2014). Communication of changes in the
operations and other important sections in the organization is also a challenge which leads to
the demand for change in the conversation. A good organization needs to have every employee
