Introduction

The fastest growth and advancements in information and computer technologies and also

changing the trends in the markets of consumer that lead businesses and companies for

devoting important resources in exploration and execution of data, techniques of information

technology and information systems. KTF- Knight Templar Fashion ltd is the business

venture which deals in designing, distributing Nd manufacturing of clothes in the top and

famous stores of United Kingdom and also in other nations. For exploring the robust

communication, information management and coat effective, stakeholders and networks of

KTF considered as highly dispersed which lead the business geographically. Four seasons are

divided among two groups; spring/summer and winter/autumn range of fabric or clothes in

operation cycle of KTF, and it is very significant. The distributors of developing countries

like India, China, Pakistan, Middle East and IUK, support cooperation, USA, UK and many

different orders from European countries from different customers is the major factor upon

which operations of the business depends. The external and internal business communication

and collaboration depend upon the designers, production managers and client teams at KTF.

This paper has discussed all the recognized issues and solutions for the problems.

1.1Recognised issues of collaboration in KTF

Many issues and problems were identified from case study. Among all these problems,

establishment of collaboration and communication network is very important concerns. In the

KTF, all designers create new and unique designs for the product developers after explaining

and discovering all new trends. Samples are created by different product developers, new

designs are established and for the approval send to customers. Suppliers of the companies

then get contracts for supplying and producing batches of apparel of approved designs. Many

important concerns are needed to be considered in the operating cycle of KTF which include
suppliers’ perception, misunderstanding or arguments with clients, communication gaps and

internal coordination of staff in businesses.

1.2Suggested Solution for KTF

For assuring the clients' integrated network, suppliers, company and team of clients required

the solutions of web 2.0. Reasonable and convenient devices of web 2.0 recognized for

developing the collaboration and coordination network for both outside and in-house

suppliers and clients of organization.

3.3.1Benefits of ERP

1. Annamalai and Ramayah, (2011), done an empirical research of the Indian production has

discussed benefits of the two major ERP system like SAP and Oracle. Findings were gathered

from the research, consumer attentiveness, company efficiency, price reduction and

globalization were noted to be the crucial benefits of every system. Regardless, it was also

mentioned that there are many variations in benefits of two programs. This research has

determined the SAP specifically useful and with regards and concerns to the local rental

prices efficiency and reduction enhancements, staff reduction, decrease in IT process and

whilst, Oracle has presented the important part with the concerns of financial-cycle reduction

and the overall performance of the companies. It signifies the experienced benefits because of

using and implementing ERP in an American International, might rely upon the selected

package of ERP and adoption in the company.

2.The second most significant research done by Bernroider, el al. (2013), has found about the

techniques of ERP lead towards simplification, standardization, integration and automation of

process and all these up gradation of these results towards improving agility for enterprises.

An ERP system in Americana International, the concentration was on the enhancing and

streamlining wherever automating process was possible in business (Watera and Waters,
2013). Businesses has achieved all advantages through post-implementation and execution

methods for NAV/Pebblestone programs. In managing pricing, there was a decrease of about

66% concerning the businesses while adoption and implementation of complete ERP system.

By adding an ideal process and practice, automation of businesses has decreased headcount.

It is able to grow in potential even without recruiting more workers.

3.3.2Challenges of ERP

1. The management team was unable for assisting particular style and growth of the product

when executing ERP system which continues for the success. The implementation of ERP

tasks has objectives for carrying down the life cycle of improvement "time-to-

market" producers in programs, tech of clothing through automation, developing price

approximation, reduction in the quantity of time management spent by tinplating and creative

designers.

2. More challenges were experienced related to the reduction in complete production

expenses through reusability, decline in the level of dependency, and developing precision on

unmonitored or unscreened papers of Excel and email. Normally, when fashion houses apply

for ERP programs, it is considered as an appropriate components for companies at the

moment. There is a probability that the business could outgrow the program's capabilities for

bringing success in the company, in cases when companies develops it immediately.

American International along with Dynamics NAV and Pebblestone Fashion ventureshave

versatility, scalability and enable administration for rendering adjustments. The business

require this conveniently and immediately for completing the current requirements in the

future.

By looking at these advantages and challenges, implementation of efficient ERP system at

Americana International was found in provided case.

3. Application to KTF Case

In the view of cooperation and collaboration of needs, it has been increased among

stakeholders for improving the process' efficiencies. Two main approaches are found for the

solution. These approaches are increasing level of collaboration in members of supply chain

team of KTF, process of ERP implementation is needed. SAP is the most suitable option and

chance for presenting the needs of a businesses. However, the provided solution is very

expensive in short run but in long run it is cost effective. It requires the investment of one

million for adoption of ERP system which is incorporation in the KTF. But, in terms of low

cost and price solutions, management preferences, platform of web 2.0, which is suggested

for incorporation in the processes of communication for enhancing communication with

stakeholders.

4.1Implementation of ERP at KTF

Together with the IT professionals groups, SAP is based as the alternative designed, for KTF

it is an ERP cost effective system similar to the American International which is around £1

million and also one year for its implementation. Moreover, the consultant companies work

on the SAP, will recruited with objectives for guaranteeing best fit among process of

businesses and ERP programs. For developing and reacting immediately to the requirements

of the markets securely, the core achievement is providing resources for infrastructure for

permitting companies, stated by (Choi et al, 2013). However, the expectation of the programs

provide the appropriate and precise details about process of KTF for ensuring the

administration which make judgment and informed it. ERP provides help to the organization

by achieving positive outcomes due to the lead time of supply chain reduced from increasing

cash flow budgeting and planning, improving collaboration with clients and suppliers, and

also improve efficiency in the KTF's internal departments.

Currently KTF is managing the designs of the production up to 30,000 pieces because of the

medium scale of the business. This is the way, the IT up gradation of customary departments

ca never be satisfied information and shared learning administration requirement at very low

level of expenses. With the help of application of production management and rapid material

in ERP system will provided hands on the fastest finalization of the designs on the

development of forums for discussion among customers, and trendsetters. Furthermore, ERP

system can assure the quality control process and the discussion of design conformance and

specifications of the production managers and designers with the remote suppliers of the

organziations.

1.3 Recommendation

The intensive learning and capacity of an alternative, upgraded, and overall workforce should

be utilized to fuel progression and besides enlarge benefit. In cooperating with their

accessories transversely finished huge business limits, affiliations ought to in like manner end

up being more capable for any circumstance, a superfluous number of tries lament poor

outcomes that generally begin from kept social affair. Picking and masterminding specific—

not nonspecific—composed exertion game plans, and focusing on gathering through data

driven and people centred activities are the most extraordinary used cases, the best approach

to more intense participation lies in understanding these cases. An Incorporated Collaboration

system that considers human lead and culture, and drives improvement choices with a

sensible concentrate on outcomes of business, can pass on tremendous effect. A self-dealt

with structure for course of action, which gives you execution at scale, high availability, and

disaster recuperation for endless access to Confluence for everyone in a gathering, is called

Confluence Data Centre. The general improvement and mechanical affiliation's legitimate of

learning.
Challenge: Social collaboration of project teams

There are project improvements and support groups for the worldwide innovation and gaming

items advancement in Nintendo. Accordingly, creating and planning preparing projects and

materials are the duties of administration (Davenport, and Prusak, 2008). Collaboration

between the groups and formation of a stronger and coordinated working relationship is a

vital factor in which thoughts could be shared however just email and telephone

correspondence are inadequate to beat the absence of cooperation and moment

correspondence among gatherings.

Solution 1: Glue, Genpact portal for design teams

The entrance of Glue, Genpact gave a stage to allude more correspondence between the two

groups for no concurrent social coordinated effort (Genpact 2017). The basic Glue entrance

conditions, isolated deterrents, and engaged more people and master affiliations. The

specialized preparing, instructional plan, and visual communication groups can accomplish

upgrade in outline and improvement forms. Sessions in which the joint group conceptualized,

achievement thoughts, and methodologies are normal coordinated effort stage held

commonly in a year name as "Development Days" (Genpact 2017). With Glue, the groups

work accomplishes effectiveness in cost and less time, which relates with the development

and better thought administration and as viably as in an up close and personal condition.

Solution 2: Confluence Data collaboration

At the point when the groups work is composed, thru, and talked about in Meeting, it turns

into an essential component in group administration and association can't hold up the cost of

lost time (Atlassian 2017). Along these lines, the groups at Nintendo can keep on

collaborating all day and all night with Confluence Data Centre. Intersection gives

associations the ability to create everything without exception something other than content,

venture designs, meeting notes, item prerequisites, and significantly more. Consequently,
Nintendo groups can make work becomes animated by including sight and sound and

dynamic substance with moment correspondence to Meeting entrance.

Features of Data Collaboration Portals at Confluence

1. Plan for the unforeseen: representatives can't bear to lose the work if something turns out

badly. At the point when Nintendo's groups work is brought together and put away in

Confluence, the entrance gives finish fiasco recuperation in Confluence Data Centre.

2. Scale without bargain: when association requests a scale without trade off, administration

needs to make a place for all groups, real activities, or division errands. These undertakings

went for sharing of learning, information and keeping work dealt with. To look for

employment effectively and rapidly colleagues need to utilize an organized order and an

intense web crawler. Exactly when bunches use Confluence to make everything - from notes

for a gathering to thing necessities. Further, bunches require a less requesting and speedier

way to deal with scale as the thoughts and items create in Nintendo. Thus, Nintendo can

collaborate at scale, without dealing on execution by utilizing Confluence Data Centre.

3. Collaborative working: Confluence entrance helps with spending more opportunity to

getting work going and less time chasing work down. In just a single place, colleagues can

sort out work, examine everything, and make records. On any Confluence page, criticism can

be abandoned itself about the work, which is in line, page and record commenting. Right

now, criticism spares time when contrasted with the endeavours squandered in discovering

input caught in email or talk string.

4.4 Non-technical aspects of Implementation

To make utilization of ERP, long range informal communication, and web 2.0 shared

association gear responsively and proficiently the fundamental hierarchical components are

confidence in labourers. Customer bunches require restoration thinking about the dynamic

and open help of web 2 .0 hardware in the manual procedures joined by the association in

plan parts (Choi et al 2011). Additional consideration and 'strict checking will be expected to

examine association points of interest on interpersonal organizations. Representatives'

preparation, exhibitions, and motivating force focused association systems on data sharing by

means of online hardware suggested for KTF hence. Besides, suspicious estimation of

specialists work commitments and relative effectiveness checks are required considering the

earnestness and time required for these ERP, web and web-based social networking

showcasing programs.

4.5Limitations of Solutions

The above scenario discussion was about the mix of two answers for the case association

KTF, ERP is a long terms and costly IT programming to fuse in the association, The usage

cost, caused time, and rebuilding of the association are fundamental constraint pf this

arrangement. Aside from enhance the gauge of coordinated effort through ERP, web 2.0

apparatuses are likewise recommended to fuse parallel activity to this arrangement. These

arrangements are free, simple to introduce, and promptly accessible on the web. These

products give the underlying rebuilding in KTF that will bolster the long time and necessities

of ERP also.
