ERP system in small and medium-sized enterprise application situation

introduction

The current. The economic globalization and the network technology rapid development, in order to be able to in the fierce market competition, the enterprises from other countries to try to strengthen enterprise management, enhance their competitive ability. ERP (Enterprise Resource Plan-ning, the Enterprise Resource planning) system is the Enterprise to conform to the overall management of the resources to produce and develop up management ideas and management methods. ERP is the Garter Group Inc. Consulting company in early 1990 s summary MRP-B the development trend of the basis of the first proposed, it is current international advanced enterprise management mode of one. In the current plan has been implementing ERP or the enterprise no shortage of great eminence and achieve greater things enterprise, they chose implement ERP system

Important starting point, is in order to further good operation management foundation, for seeking a greater development to provide strong support. In fact, the majority of domestic enterprise whether its current situation how, or have not form a high efficient management operation system, or because most of the energy to development and long-term investment in the daily operation and ignore the enterprise operation system on enterprise strategy implement ability the raise. This situation makes the enterprise in the changes of market environment ever faster, in more and more fierce competition process, in many internal operation before the problem was willing heart

Insufficient. In the world with the WTO, our enterprise will face the challenge of foreign enterprises, foreign enterprise often has more advanced enterprise management ideas, with more standard, high efficiency and low cost management and operation of the foundation, has the stronger enterprise strategy implementation capacity; In this case the world of enterprise is necessary to stand in the Angle of the market, and settled down to take a hard look at their operation ability, consider how to cultivate enterprise core competitive ability. ERP is the enterprise information process is a kind of important choice, it brings the enterprise will be a brand new management idea,

Operation and look at the perspective of problems. Many enterprises in implementing ERP before they still think of a set of management method based on manual is effective, but in the real people know the idea of deep ERP did he realize that what is truly effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. ERP the operation of the system to better solve in the enterprise operation efficiency, flexible requirements and keep the necessary control the contradiction between, could even become most state-owned enterprise management system of effective change a L focal point.

1, ERP concept definition

ERP is the abbreviation of EnterpriseResoursePlanning English, Chinese explanation is enterprise resource planning. It is as the core of the management accounting information system, through the recognition and planning enterprise resources, to gain customer order, complete the processing and delivery, finally get customer payment. In other words, ERP through internal all resources will be together, to purchase, production, into

This, inventory, distribution, transportation, finance, human resources planning, so as to achieve the best resources combination, and get the best results.

ERP is reasonable apply can change the face of the enterprise operation, through the application of the best business system standard (businesspractice) and integrated enterprise key business process (businessprocesses) to ask questions and to improve the enterprise profit and market demand response speed.

2, the world ERP software industry development present situation analysis

E R P (enterprise resource planning) is the management information system of the latest development in the ninety s. In recent years is introduced to the world, the attention. From the eighty s Beijing first machine tool plant, shenyang blower factory the enterprise introduces the MRPII software to now, our country enterprise application enterprise management software have already walked through more than 20 years. The world of ERP software industry in the world manufacturing the prosperous development of the impetus, realize the rapid development. The world of ERP software industry from the MRPII and financial software two lines started, from lessons and imitate to original, from the project development to become mature products, from unit products to the overall solutions, showing a let flowers bloom, to win the positive development of pattern. According to the latest statistics, domestic E R P software market share has reached 79%. First of all, in recent years, the national science and technology department and other government agencies to support advanced, practical with the situation of China's E R P software technology research and development, the organization of the ERP products testing, in the demonstration of the popularization and application of the enterprise, also key guide with domestic enterprise ERP software, to push the world ERP software industry development played a prominent role. Second, the needs of the user is growing promote our country E R P the root cause of the development of software industry. The transfer of manufacturing to the world and the private economy of the rapid expansion of the the world manufacturing industry growing competition, manufacturing enterprise must be applied information technology, realizing lean change management in this way, it is for the development of the software industry of our country ERP created a every year by about 30% of a rapidly growing market. At the same time, the application of manufacturing enterprise promote domestic ERP software improvement. Again, the fierce market competition led our country ERP software enterprise development of new technologies, new products, improve the reliability of the products, improve the implementation methods, training to implement talent, improve customer satisfaction. The rapid development of software technology for our country E R P software development bring great vitality. In recent years, our country has developed to realize the cross-platform, completely based on W E B, has the allocation function of modular platform, the ERP software products, greatly improved software flexibility and applicability.

3, ERP at our country business enterprise management in the role

ERP is the integration of advanced management experience. To enterprise supply chain management thinking as a guide to all of the supply chain link (such as order, purchase, financial management, investment management, management risk management, and decision-making management) effective monitoring, from the depth of the scope of management for enterprise provides more rich function and tools, can realize the global scope, the many factory site multinational business operation. Therefore, ERP in help enterprise improves inventory management, reduce inventory capital takes up and improve labor productivity, efficiency reduce costs and improve the economic benefit and the market competition ability of the enterprise has obvious advantages.

4 the current of the small and medium-sized enterprises implement ERP main problems

4.1 the medium-sized and small enterprises to implement ERP effect is not apparent, achieve satisfaction and expectations low

Small and medium sized enterprises in implementing ERP ignore the effect of the application, and in the application process is not obvious. Target fuzzy, it is hard to improve the whole efficiency, leading to disregard key, investment, with little success, and implementation of excessive fatigue. In this way, the customer expectations will greatly discount, if want to further to our customers high satisfaction which is difficult, that they should be our continuous introspection, continuously improve effect, make customer satisfied with heart.

4.2 ERP price arrangement not science, excessive dependence on foreign software, the high cost and low profits

In years of the small and medium-sized enterprises by foreign most software, cost is higher, led to lower generally profits, and at the same time, the enterprise to develop software time consuming, costly, the reason is because of the quality of the implementation personnel factors make implementation of quality controlled; Because of different level requirement inconsistency, that the demand and the acceptance standard controlled; For all the function and the dislocation of the existing concept, which often leads to implement subject vacancy phenomenon. These factors led to implement cycle, cost of uncontrolled. There is a more important reason is that domestic ERP technology to improve perfect, the arrangement of the price has made some adjustments, based on the domestic market environment, pricing is more scientific and attract more need ERP system small and medium-sized enterprise purchase, and let the scale is not a lot of small and medium-sized enterprises can bear the equipment investment, this will promote the small and medium-sized enterprise development and expansion.

4.3 smes to using ERP system, complex operation, short time difficult, slow

The enterprise strategic concept, system of ideas, they to business process, financial accounting simple process can straighten, which will lead to small and medium-sized enterprises to the operation of the ERP complex, difficulty increase, natural to run also cannot reach the speed of the most efficiency, but to join the WTO, as have strategic advantages and comprehensive resource advantage of multinational companies to access, the weak link already emerges. Therefore, small and medium-sized enterprise should seek to change the status quo and problems of the effective ways to get rid of a series of questions appeared at present.

4.4 the lack of corresponding ERP implementation talents, application module less, the lack of experience

First team as the whole project implementation of direct command power t, both must have technical personnel and training of personnel involved in, also want to have enterprise departments professionals to participate in, make its have and the task to adapt the technology and ability, so as to ensure implementation of the structure of the group is a strong organization, can quickly and effectively promote the implementation of the project. In our country at present the lack of corresponding ERP implementation talents, generally is not very proficient in, and the lack of experience. Second, software vendors each has his strong point, the user is difficult to discern bad and applicability. New knowledge broad, quantity, update the speed, difficult to grasp, module application of a single, use is insufficient, and, enterprise personality and individual differences industry, enterprise management foundation and emphases were different, and the result is difficult to develop both advanced and practical economy, and has the marketing value software.

4.5 ERP based data was not accurate enough, timely, often mistake, business process complex

The success of the ERP implementation can be said to be "three points, seven points by technology by management, extremely by data", thus, standard, the standardization of data in ERP system is the enterprise good operation of a basic guarantee. But according to the results of the survey shows that more than 90% of the enterprises have basic data does not meet the requirements of the problem r}. Some enterprise ERP project has been carried out for 10 years, but the basic data for work done yet, basic incorrect data (such as inventory records not accurate, material list not accurate, process route is not accurate, etc) makes the enterprise can't based on these data effectively data plan to guide the production and operation of enterprises HuoDongZhou. Therefore, based data was not accurate enough, timely, or often appear mistake will influence the ERP implementation effect, make in the application of stagnant and obstacles, let whole business process low efficiency, also indirectly let its complicated make its development has struggled.

6 for small and medium-sized enterprise ERP implementation the solution to the problem

6.1 implement enterprise must be clear about the ERP project implementation and make the target

The overall goal of the project implementation, points target and points of phase target implement ERP is a profound management revolution, is a big, long life cycle cost implementation, a wide range of systems engineering, and therefore need for strategic planning, completes the project analysis, including the fund budget, process control, human equipped with, organization guarantee for system design, clear implement objective. Clear, practical implement objective is the guarantee of successful implementation of ERP, also is the measure of a ERP project success criteria. The ERP project goals should be based on the implementation of the enterprise and the basic situation of the development of the enterprise strategic objectives. The ERP project implementation of enterprise group through the advantage and shortage, hindering the development of the enterprise bottleneck complete analysis, this paper puts forward the enterprise information construction requirements and expectations, to make project total goal, points target and points of phase target.

6.2 inspection and the choice of many ERP manufacturers

First enterprise to clear their intention and demand, first as self analysis and diagnosis. And then a deep investigation to multiple vendors and suppliers of customer service and, when necessary, please management consulting institutions involved in planning and identify. Enterprise to do well the input and output analysis, pay attention to the rationality of the cost, which do not only pursue comprehensive functions of the software to create waste, also don't need to save the cost of a selected software can't satisfy the need of the enterprise, take into account the practical and openness. Software should be management service, rather than management to adapt to the software, can't put the cart before the horse. Software to suitable for enterprise process, alignment to high, such ability reduce secondary back hurriedly, ensure the implementation cycle, smooth BPR. Suppliers had better have the same industry customer service experience, want to have a successful case of implementing ERP, this will reduce the risk of implementation, and can in software coding system based data preparation greatly shorten the cycle of implementation. At the same time to investigate the comprehensive strength of the software vendors, implementation and follow-up service personnel quality ability, choose a partner is half the battle.

6.3 there must be proficient in ERP management thought, the master software technology, depend on the team.

Establish the enterprise top now to manage the whole project under flexture, choose and equipped with effective the trustee. ERP implementation of the team is like that of a pyramid, in the bottom of the pyramid is the application of advisers include business and technology to realize the two most responsible for the realization of the project, the middle layer is a management consultant guarantee the success of the project degrees, control the schedule of the project and the direction, is the top consultants, mainly be responsible for business, and promote the management. Application of the enterprise consultants with specific business staff and technical staff close cooperation, management consultants and enterprise middle-level cooperate, consultants and enterprise's top leaders to communicate. In this way the whole project cooperation link itself can, in every link all ensure that clear. Enterprise must not to their problems and needs his hand, need consultants to provide valuable reference Suggestions.

6.4 pay attention to training, and train excellent ERP application talents, and throughout

ERP is to borrow a new management model to transform the original enterprise old management mode, is advanced, effective management ideas and methods. It is based on management thought, the management technology, the development of computer technology achievements, which reflect the enterprise supply chain management thought. To succeed the implementation of the ERP, must pay attention to training, and training is not only simple system operation training, from the implementation of the project began to later period, the corresponding training is throughout, duty to order information and organizational success implement ERP, must pay attention to training, and training is not only simple system operation training, from the implementation of the project began to later period, the corresponding training is throughout, duty to stage, points content, points personnel, points to management levels are the training system. Training also must have the complete training knowledge base, pay attention to scientific, effective, practical, phases and layered time, with the aid of the understanding of the unified employee training means, promote the management idea and technical skills. Or to use the software, but the employees may not really accept; Accepted concept, data, system is not necessarily can reach the designated position. ERP is the overall management solutions, to prevent the software for manual operation demoted to the electronic.

6.5 based data for the perfect, and strengthen the process of management

The success of the ERP implementation can be said to be "three points, seven points by technology by management, extremely by data", thus, standard, the standardization of data in ERP system is the enterprise good operation of a basic guarantee. But according to the results of the survey shows that more than 90% of the enterprises have basic data does not meet the requirements of the problem, some enterprise ERP project has been carried out for 10 years, but the basic data for work done yet, basic data not accurate, makes the enterprise can't based on these data effectively data plan to guide the production and operation of enterprises HuoDongZhou. Therefore, the enterprise shall first make training work, a clear division of Labour, in data preparation process of implementation by the consultant provide guidance, to ensure that basic data timely, complete and accurate.

7, conclusion

ERP is the supply chain of the enterprise management thoughts for guidance for supply chain order, purchase, financial management, investment management and effective monitoring, from the depth of the scope of management for enterprise provides more rich function and tools, can realize the global scope, the many factory site multinational business operation. And, ERP in help enterprise improves inventory management, reduce inventory capital takes up and improve labor productivity, efficiency reduce costs and improve the economic benefit and the enterprise market competitiveness aspects has the obvious advantage, therefore, to the ERP system in small and medium enterprise application seriously study and treated differently, a reasonable method for processing, and in the implementation of the take all kinds of effective measures to prevent often appear at present, and ensure ERP play an important role in middle and small enterprise, make its stable and orderly development.
