What is ERP and why do you use ERP management software?

What benefits can enterprises bring to their growth by implementing ERP?

ERP (enterprise resource planning) is a management method solidified by computer system, which allows enterprises to allocate enterprise resources (including personnel, goods, funds, equipment, information, etc.). ) be more reasonable, optimize business, improve enterprise management level and enhance enterprise competitiveness. It is not only a computer system, but also a set of modern enterprise management ideas and concepts. Its ultimate goal is to realize the computerization of enterprise business, which requires that business must be closely integrated with ERP software, and daily work can be carried out with the help of software functions, and finally the purpose of speaking with data can be achieved. ERP emphasizes the comprehensive combination of people, finance, materials, supply, production and sales, comprehensive control, real-time feedback, dynamic coordination, fixed production by sales and fixed supply by production, with the best benefit, lowest cost, process management and flat structure. It is a comprehensive enterprise management tool integrating enterprise logistics, capital flow, information flow and knowledge flow, and its operation needs the full cooperation of the whole enterprise.

What benefits will ERP bring to enterprises after its successful implementation? Most enterprises believe that the most significant thing is to bring about the improvement of direct economic benefits, followed by the standardization and standardization of management, and then the improvement of industry competitiveness. In addition, it also helps to enhance corporate image, improve management thinking and stimulate employees' enthusiasm. Among them, 63% people think that economic benefits can be improved, which is more conducive to scientific and standardized management, accounting for 13%, management thinking improvement accounting for 1 1%, corporate image improvement accounting for 8%, and employee enthusiasm improvement accounting for 5%.

Why should enterprises introduce ERP?

When the enterprise develops to a certain stage, the conventional management obviously cannot meet the needs of the actual development, so how to realize standardization and standardized management to improve the operating efficiency of the enterprise has become a new topic. If you don't establish a management information system that is suitable for it, it will be difficult to win in this increasingly competitive era. 2 1 century is the century of network economy and e-commerce. Undoubtedly, a real e-commerce must include four systems: online commerce (B to B), customer management (CRM), supplier management (SCM) and enterprise internal management (ERP). Therefore, the primary goal of enterprises at present is to realize the integration of enterprise internal management and ERP. Realize the full and effective utilization of resources, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure on-time delivery. On the basis of having the "background" core of ERP, we will integrate online real-time operation with "foreground" online commerce and step into the era of e-commerce. Therefore, if enterprises want to be standardized, large-scale and international, it is inevitable to introduce ERP (more than 90% of enterprises in the United States operate with ERP system, and "customer-enterprise-supplier" operates online in real time and is closely linked through the Internet, so its application of e-commerce is more popular. At present, enterprises implementing ERP have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in China, and the environment of e-commerce platform has gradually formed. Although e-commerce is not realistic for most domestic enterprises at this stage, enterprise informatization is imminent, and it can not meet the development needs from management, production, sales, service, industry competition and world economic trends without corresponding transformation. The implementation of ERP has become a part of enterprise development strategy, which is closely related to the development of enterprises.

When is it appropriate for enterprises to introduce ERP?

Enterprises must choose the right time to implement ERP. The best time to successfully realize ERP is in the boom and recession of enterprises, but it is difficult to succeed in the startup and recession. In the boom and recession, enterprises will be prepared for danger in times of peace or seek a way out, and naturally they will have innovative ideas, which is the best opportunity to successfully realize ERP. However, enterprises must be clear about the current situation of enterprises and the purpose of introducing ERP projects before they go to ERP projects, so that the selection and implementation will be targeted.

For enterprises that urgently need to straighten out management-they should go to school. Many enterprises often ignore some internal management in the start-up stage, including the establishment of execution system, the establishment of operation process and the development of corporate culture. After such enterprises develop to a certain scale, they will fall into a state of confusion. The purpose of ERP for such enterprises is to straighten out management problems with the help of ERP and standardize management with the help of software functions.

For enterprises that urgently need to improve information management. In the development of enterprises, it is often found that internal statistical data lags behind the rapid reflection of the market, repetitive statistical work is cumbersome, data sources are not unique, and even mislead decision makers. The reason is that I didn't enjoy the inside information. The purpose of implementing ERP in this kind of enterprises is to realize data unification first, and then urge the improvement and improvement of enterprise management through ERP informatization and management concept. For enterprises with limited development and eager to develop to a higher level-they must reach the top. The decision-makers of enterprises know very well that development is the last word for the survival of enterprises, so they must have an infinite mind. In this case, it is the fastest way to realize the effectiveness of ERP, because decision makers are very clear about the key issues to be solved first, including marketing issues, internal production support issues, financial capital operation issues and deeper enterprise internationalization issues. So as long as these problems are refined when defining requirements, the implementation order and key points will be clear when implementing them.

What investment does an enterprise need to implement ERP?

It can be said that ERP is a management tool that needs a lot of investment to succeed and produce benefits. This kind of investment mainly includes funds, personnel and time. Without sufficient investment, it is impossible to successfully implement ERP. In terms of funds, it will include investment in computer software and hardware; In terms of personnel, there must be a core organization to carry out this work, which is regarded as an important part of the daily work of enterprises. In terms of capital investment, we should fully consider the scale and affordability of the enterprise according to the specific situation of the enterprise. It is more scientific to calculate according to the ratio of one thousandth of output value. Generally, the investment ratio of enterprises below 100 million yuan is 8- 12‰, and the investment ratio of enterprises with output value100-500 million yuan is 4-8‰ (note: our company is1700,000 yuan× 4 ‰). In terms of ERP software, we neither blindly pursue the best, nor launch immature or unpopular ERP because we are reluctant to spend money. It is very important for decision makers who implement ERP projects to clearly understand the real role of ERP. The key to the successful implementation of ERP lies in the overall quality of enterprises, and more directly depends on the firm will and determination of decision makers. Because it is almost impossible for ERP project to produce obvious benefits in a short period of time, under the pressure of various complaints, objections and conflicts, especially it will involve the re-division of departmental functions, the adjustment of post responsibilities, the change of business processes, the redistribution of power and interests, the change of management concepts, the re-adaptation of working environment and habits, especially the employees' ideas, and other complex factors, the support attitude of decision makers is likely to change from substantive support to formal support, leading to the stagnation of implementation progress, or even. Many enterprises are very smooth in the initial stage of ERP implementation, but there will be problems in the data initialization stage and the system parallel stage, especially in the parallel stage. At this stage, the workload will increase exponentially for business personnel, and the focus of business personnel is still the old operation mode. The new system is just a trial, and it is often not active in data follow-up, which leads to the more parallel and chaotic, and finally loses confidence in ERP system. At this time, leaders must adhere to the principle of mandatory switching after talking first. After the implementation, decision makers must always care about the application of ERP, and support the evaluation department of ERP to supervise and improve the work, so that the work of ERP can be sustained.

Why should enterprises go to ERP? What can ERP bring to enterprises?

(According to the statistics of American Production and Inventory Control Association (APICS), using ERP system can bring the following economic benefits to enterprises on average:

One: the inventory decreased by 30% ~ 50%. This is the advantage that people often talk about, and it is also the most talked about, because it can reduce the inventory investment of general users1.4 ~1.5 times and increase the inventory turnover rate by 50%.

Second, delayed delivery is reduced by 80%. When the inventory is reduced and stabilized, the customer service level is improved, which makes the on-time delivery rate of enterprises using ERP increase by 55% on average and the delayed delivery rate decrease by 35% on average, which greatly improves the reputation of the sales department.

Third, the procurement lead time is shortened by 50%. With the timely preparation of production planning information, purchasing personnel can concentrate on value analysis, source selection, research negotiation strategies, understand production problems, shorten procurement time and save procurement costs.

Four: material downtime is reduced by 60%. With the improvement of the transparency of parts demand, the plan is also improved, which can be timely and accurate, and parts can arrive on time at a more reasonable speed. Therefore, the downtime of materials on the production line will be greatly reduced.

5. The manufacturing cost is reduced by 12%. Due to the reduction of inventory cost, labor saving, procurement cost saving and a series of human, financial and material effects, the production cost will inevitably be reduced.

Six: the management level is improved, the number of managers is reduced by 10%, and the production capacity is increased by 10% ~ ~ 15%.

Why do enterprises need ERP

(1)ERP provides an integrated information system for enterprises, enabling enterprises to enjoy business data and resources.

(2) Straighten out and standardize the business processes of enterprises, eliminate duplication of labor in the process of business processing, and realize the standardization and standardization of business processing. It provides data integration, and the system prohibits the arbitrariness of business processing, which strengthens the basic work of enterprise management and further ensures the quality of work.

(3) Because the data processing is completed automatically by the system, the accuracy and timeliness are greatly improved, and the analysis methods are more standardized and diverse, which not only reduces the work intensity, but also urges enterprise managers to free themselves from tedious transaction processing and spend more time studying the problems existing in business processes. Learn and apply modern management science to improve management level and promote the wide application of modern management science in enterprises.

(4) Strengthen internal control to ensure a clear division of labor in work control and timely control. Problems in each link can be reflected at any time, and the system can provide data needed for performance appraisal, thus realizing "enterprise cell management".

(5) Automatically coordinate the business of each department through the application of the system, so that the resources of the enterprise can be unified, the inventory can be reduced, the capital turnover speed can be accelerated, and all departments can be integrated into a coordinated operation with team spirit.

(6) To help decision-making, the company's decision-making layer can obtain the dynamic business data contracted by enterprises and the analysis function of ERP system in time to help enterprises make correct decisions.

(7)ERP contains advanced management ideas, forms and processes, which helps enterprises to establish a management system of pre-planning, in-process control and post-analysis, and strengthen the flexibility and innovation of enterprises. The advantages of low-cost operation complement each other, making the fast faster and the strong stronger.

In today's increasingly fierce competition, no enterprise can pay attention to its own cost, production efficiency and management effectiveness at the same time. Without the reduction of production cost, the improvement of production efficiency and management efficiency, enterprises will face the situation of life and death. Therefore, refined management becomes necessary, and ERP is an effective tool for enterprises to achieve refined management. That's why I went to ERP.
