Management thought: ERP first embodies management thought, and its purpose is to help enterprises integrate various resources and improve operational efficiency and level through standardized business processes and information data.
Software products: ERP management idea is embodied by implementing a mature enterprise-level information management system. These software systems are based on optimization and common business process development, and realize information sharing on a unified technical platform.
Application system: ERP system adopts modern information technology, integrates ERP management concept and enterprise business practice, implements unified business processes with the help of ERP application software, stores various basic business data of enterprises, generates management reports, comprehensively reflects the business conditions of enterprises, and forms a complete integrated management system.
Third, the advantages of applying ERP system
Profits have developed rapidly. So as to realize information sharing in various business fields and establish a cooperative development mechanism.
Avoid decision-making risks.
Improve water management. ERP integration optimizes the standard process, makes management institutionalized and standardized, can improve the traditional management mode, enhance the management and monitoring capabilities of enterprises, and enhance market competitiveness.
Optimize the allocation of resources.
The role of ERP system in process management and basic management;
Process management: help enterprises improve their management mechanism and system, and realize the integration with international leading management concepts, management processes and management tools.
Basic management: integrate and optimize enterprise resources, improve the overall monitoring ability of enterprises, help enterprise leaders guard against business risks and improve response speed.
1. Do a good job of management consultation in the early stage of ERP.
For the vast majority of domestic enterprises, the effect after the implementation of ERP is not ideal, because management consulting has not been done well. Therefore, to implement ERP, management consultation must be thorough and accurate. Through the guidance and demonstration of consultants, enterprises can learn some basic methods and skills, improve basic management and data, put forward feasible schemes, and improve the level of organization and management, which can guide enterprises to improve production and management. At the very least, we should be able to sort out the core processes and supporting processes for the smooth implementation of ERP, establish a reasonable spatial organization and time organization, and provide accurate basic management data required by ERP.
2. Make long-term goals that match the implementation of ERP system engineering. At the same time, if the implementation of enterprise resource planning is to achieve real success, it must have a clear and definite goal that can be communicated and measured.
Unfortunately, at present, few enterprises can have clear goals. If there is, it may be some general, sporadic and difficult-to-measure prospects such as reducing inventory, improving competitiveness and improving operational efficiency, rather than the strategic planning and quantitative goals of the enterprise.
3. Organizing and implementing ERP projects needs a strong driving force.
Most enterprises regard the implementation of ERP as a simple information construction, so they hand over the project to the information office or information support center within the enterprise. However, such departments lack professional knowledge and practical operation ability in materials, production, management and finance, and at the same time lack the necessary authority, so it is difficult to effectively organize and mobilize various departments. They can only ensure that the system is turned on, and it is difficult to ensure that the system runs successfully and achieves the predetermined goal.
4. Changes in the mode of production
Successful examples at home and abroad show that the way to quickly improve the competitiveness of enterprises is to realize the transformation of production methods. Accustomed to mass production for more than 70 years, the United States suffered the most violent impact from Japan in the mid-1980s. American backbone enterprises have finally regained the competitive advantage of manufacturing industry after the changes in the 1990s. The success of American enterprises shows that the fundamental change of production mode is the fundamental and shortcut to improve competitiveness. And this requires enterprises to establish a perfect standardization system to achieve.
5. Improve the management of basic data.
The data shows that it is a common phenomenon that the basic management data of enterprises are incomplete and inaccurate. Because ERP is an integrated management software compiled according to a specific production mode and management mode, ERP will only mechanically execute manual and solidified program commands and process (including storing) specified information, but not process (identifying and converting) it. So the data is not allowed, and it is still not allowed after ERP processing.
Six, the limitations of ERP system to improve the management level of enterprises
From the perspective of industrial engineers, ERP is a set of enterprise integrated management (software) system developed under the established production mode. ERP provides a systematic framework and platform for enterprises to reach a higher level of management ability, but it does not necessarily guarantee that enterprises can improve their management level and productivity. Many enterprises still have a vague understanding of the essence of ERP. There are still quite a few people who think that ERP is an IT technology. As long as we follow the system process, just like setting up telephones and computers, we can achieve our goals. However, the fact is by no means so simple. If the enterprise does not have and does not meet the original development environment or conditions of the system, it cannot simply achieve the same effect.
The prerequisite for the successful application of ERP is to optimize and reorganize the workflow of enterprises, but there are obvious gaps in production, organization, management and culture between enterprises in China and enterprises of the same size in developed countries. Therefore, if the ERP application is successful, the enterprise must make the necessary institutional adjustment, that is, carry out the structural reform of the company, which is also the optimization process of the company's workflow. This can not only create a good environment for the implementation of ERP, but also rationalize the company's business processes. This process is also the process of establishing a modern enterprise system, and there is no doubt that another important means will be used in this process, that is, establishing an enterprise standardization system.
Seven. Contribution of enterprise standardization to enterprise management
1. Enterprise standardization is an important part of enterprise production, operation and management.
The fundamental task of an enterprise is to produce products that meet the needs and expectations of customers with limited resources, and obtain as many economic benefits as possible, so as to obtain the maximum benefits for the enterprise and meet the needs and expectations of relevant parties. Therefore, enterprises must systematically and scientifically manage production factors such as manpower, material resources and financial resources, reduce cost consumption, improve quality and efficiency, and achieve the purpose of improving economic efficiency. Standardization is an important basic work in the production, technology and business activities of enterprises. First of all, standardization directly provides * * * identical and repetitive criteria for the production and business activities of enterprises in terms of quality and quantity. Secondly, enterprises must establish systematic, controllable and objective laws and behavioral sciences by formulating, implementing and enforcing scientific management standards. Secondly, making full use of the standardization principles of simplification, unification, coordination and optimization to manage enterprises scientifically can improve work efficiency, ensure the quality of all work and products, and improve the economic benefits of enterprises.
2. Standardization is a necessary condition for organizing modern mass production.
With the high development of science and technology, the degree of socialization and globalization of production is getting higher and higher, and the scale of production is getting bigger and bigger. In order to pursue the rational allocation of resources, it is necessary to carry out cross-border professional division of labor in the whole society. The function and structure of modern products are becoming more and more complex, which requires more and more detailed division of labor and more global cooperation scope. Such a large-scale modern production must rely on standardization, so that production activities are highly coordinated and unified, and the whole production process is controlled, orderly and systematically linked.
3. Standardization is the basis of scientific and modern management.
Scientific management of enterprises is inseparable from standardization. As early as 19 1 1, Taylor, the "father of management", pointed out in his book Principles of Industrial Management that standardization provided scientific methods and approaches for scientific management of enterprises. Standards are the summary of contemporary advanced science and technology and practical experience, and are the basis for guiding enterprise activities. Standardization organizes all the elements and links in the whole production process of an enterprise, and according to the principle of system engineering, it transforms input into output and becomes a value-added process, making all activities standardized, scientific and procedural, and establishing the best order of production and operation.
4. Enterprise standardization is conducive to promoting the establishment and improvement of information systems, making full use of information technology, promoting enterprises to adopt high and new technologies and realizing technological progress.
The establishment and perfection of enterprise information technology can not only effectively manage and control conventional standardized information and intelligence, but also enable all links and posts in production, operation and management to obtain and use effective standardized information in time. More importantly, the application of computer, database, sensing technology, network and remote communication technology can promote the technological revolution of enterprises in e-commerce, computer-aided production and computer-aided management, and make enterprises achieve greater success in applying new technologies.
Eight, enterprise standardization and ERP system * * * work together in the enterprise, essentially to improve the international competitiveness of enterprises.
With the formation of the market economic system, the market competition is increasingly intensified. At present, the production scale, economic strength and technical ability of enterprises are not the main conditions that determine the success or failure of enterprises in market competition, but the means and ability of informatization have become an important means for enterprises to win in market competition. ERP system can meet this demand of enterprises. In the fierce market competition, based on a large number of basic data information of enterprises, it can make rapid market response for enterprise decision makers, thus taking the lead in the competition.
Some people think that the introduction of ERP system can improve the management level of enterprises, and enterprise standardization will lose its function. This sentence is obviously wrong. Informatization is just a means, it can't create anything by itself, and it won't change enterprise management. Informatization can only accelerate the response and processing of information, realize the enjoyment of information and improve work efficiency. If an enterprise establishes an enterprise standard system table according to the requirements of enterprise standardization, and can implement this standard system table, it can optimize enterprise resource allocation, product development and innovation, optimize operation and management, speed up technological transformation, and improve enterprise economic benefits. Each business has its own workflow, and realize orderly and efficient operation and management from top to bottom. It can fundamentally improve the management level and competitiveness of enterprises.
Of course, ERP system integrates the basic data of enterprises, which is the framework and platform for enterprises to reach a higher level of management ability and improves the reaction speed of enterprises in competition. Of course, the higher the management level of an enterprise, the better the advantages of ERP system in enterprise management. Therefore, enterprise standardization and ERP system complement each other, act on enterprises and promote each other. Being able to make full use of these two methods' contribution to enterprise management will immeasurably enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the market.
