What to do well before the implementation of ERP-based management?
In the ERP implementation, we have formulas are: business must first achieve "flow- Start, the data accurately, and rules to be." In other words, enterprises in the implementation of ERP must first prepare the ground before the management. Basic management, including standardization, scale, measurement, information, rules and regulations and so on, these are also part of the ERP implementation, depends on the point. Otherwise, there is no away a good foundation for the implementation of ERP, as in a place where the foundation has not yet built atop skyscrapers, always have the danger of collapsing.
"Process- Start" is the core of standardized processes
Business activities are posed by many processes, such as procurement, supply, finance, human resources, production, equipment, sales, and many processes, or cross-sectoral. In fact the implementation of ERP systems is to integrate these processes, reduce processing lead time, increase efficiency and reduce costs. Therefore enterprises in the implementation of ERP when the focus should be the process rather than the software technology. In other words, if the data is the cornerstone of the implementation of ERP, then the process is the soul of the ERP implementation.
As we all know, ERP emphasized that the standardization of processes and immobilized, there is no standardization of the process there is no possibility of a successful ERP implementation. Therefore, the lack of standardization of processes eager to implement the ERP business is fatal, because there is no process should first rationalization, standardization, go to curing process to the ERP system, business enterprises in dealing with the entire body will feel uncomfortable, it will at all times there is the risk of failure. For example, in some enterprises, ERP implementation process, enterprises often heard people say: This is part of the process can blur a little? That's part of the process can blur a little? In fact, the processes are so vague that the ERP project, the final completion of the entire system is bound to be vague, such as ERP system failure is inevitable.
Therefore, the "first process standardization, after the information technology" is the implementation of the ERP advocated a fundamental principle. ERP process is to sort out all of the business enterprise to form a clear, documented business rules. It is about to break the barriers between departments to achieve information transparency, coordination and cooperation. Only when all the enterprise's business processes are sorted out to achieve standardization, programmed and written of, the enterprise's business processes from the "rule of man" to "legal" level, the implementation of ERP will be "process-Start", will more with less.
"Data accurately" is the accurate measurement and the fixed
Speaking of data in the importance of ERP applications, we mention the most common phrase is "one-third of technology, seven parts management, and twelve data." Experience has shown that, ERP project more than 50% of the time is spent on the entire process of data preparation. Because there is no high quality data, ERP application has become a river without water; because the data quality is the life of the data, wrong data is not in any sense, it will be dropped, or on-line system is unable to fuse.
ERP data are divided into static and dynamic master data business data. Static data includes basic data and the beginning of data, only the accuracy of the static data entry ERP system, ERP system will have a good start. Otherwise, ERP system, when the original accounts had been wrong. As for the role of dynamic data in the ERP, then there is an even more popular is the "garbage data entry, it will trash the data out." However, according to surveys, many companies in the ERP application encountered a problem is the biggest ERP data, inaccurate, untrue, unreliable. Results In the absence of reliable data basis for real hope that ERP applications can result in improved efficiency also become an empty word.
Therefore, how to ensure the ERP data quality has become a top priority of the ERP implementation is the need always a matter of concern. We can see from the range-based management, quota-based management and measurement is a core part of. So, do basic management of the quotas and measurement is to ensure that a prerequisite for ERP data quality, but also to ensure the quality of ERP data on a crucial step. |
