解説
問 5
Incorrectア
ERP is not dedicated to a specific industry; it is a general-purpose integrated business system that can be used regardless of industry. “Used only in some industries such as the mobile phone business” describes an industry-specific (vertical) package built for a particular industry, which is not a characteristic of ERP.
Incorrectイ
ERP is not limited to financial accounting; its essence is integrating multiple core business operations such as sales, purchasing, production, and human resources. “A system limited to financial accounting operations” describes a dedicated accounting package (financial accounting software), which does not apply to ERP.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is ウ. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) package is an integrated business system that manages a company’s management resources — people, goods, money, and information — in a unified way. Its greatest feature is that it processes various business-related applications such as sales, purchasing, inventory, production, financial accounting, and payroll in a single package in a centralized manner, and it lets data be shared across departments. It is not limited to a particular industry or company size; it is adopted in various industries such as manufacturing, distribution, and services, and by companies of various sizes from large enterprises to mid-sized companies. Choice ウ, “It is an integrated business system that processes various business-related applications, and it is used by companies of various industries and sizes,” correctly matches this nature.
Incorrectエ
ERP is used by companies of various sizes and is not exclusively for small-scale businesses such as individual shops. “Specialized for use by small-scale businesses” is incorrect.
ここがポイント
- ERP package = an integrated business system that manages a company’s management resources (people, goods, money, information) in a unified way. It centralizes multiple operations such as sales, purchasing, production, inventory, financial accounting, and human resources, and is used regardless of industry or size.
- The exam point is to distinguish ERP from an industry-specific package (dedicated to a particular industry) and dedicated accounting software (limited to financial accounting). The keywords for ERP are “integration” and “general purpose.”
