The conditions for the implementation of ERP for SMEs
With the number of large companies began to implement the ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems, a number of small and medium enterprises are also attractive. They were not just in order to catch up with trends, more importantly, forced by the pressure of foreign partners. For example, home and abroad on major OEM statement: I want to do business? You must have ERP system! In this regard, the industry disagree, school of thought in India SME there is no need to implement ERP, and those who think that ERP is the small and medium enterprises information the only way for the construction of early implementation of the early benefits. The status quo is based on profound knowledge enterprise? ERP is still early to catch the express train of glory? Small and medium enterprises is the seriously consider whether or not to on the ERP of the problem.
An implementation of the ERP condition
ERP implementation of the three elements of success is: environmental mature management maturity, as well as the guarantee of capital. Throughout the implementation of ERP in Indian enterprises the status quo of failure is far higher than the successful implementation of large enterprises is much higher than the implementation of small and medium enterprises, study its fundamental, small and medium enterprises is not yet possess the conditions for the successful implementation of ERP.
According to reports, ERP and medium-sized enterprises in India, the implementation rate of only 0.7% ERP implementation in India, 5-6 years, difficult to implement, period, costs are not the rapid development of small and medium enterprises can bear, but far more than the case of failure of a successful case. Can be seen, ERP in India or thunder and heavy rain and little, and those who have implemented ERP enterprise may be different versions of the abacus.
For many enterprises,, ERP is a frustrating choice, without him you'll get foreign orders. A company in India about 30% of the local customers, but most of them are going to deal with foreign companies. If your business and India's enterprises are mainly dealing with, because none of the majority of the implementation of ERP, the external environment was not mature in the whole circumstances, the implementation of the ERP investment and benefits of contrast will be another you are disappointed.
ERP and enterprise management system is completely two concepts. When all companies have implemented ERP, when asked about the implementation difficulties, without exception, that "low level of corporate governance" is the biggest source. Enterprise business are not standardized, the user's ideas and the complexity of ERP, adaptation occurred in contradiction is the main reason leading to ERP failure.
Before considering the implementation of ERP companies should consider their own management infrastructure is appropriate. In fact, the implementation of the ERP due to the change management concepts and operational practices, business-and low-level personnel in the hardest hit. Internal processes optimization and fairness in the ERP implementation process is the biggest problem encountered. In addition, this does not mean that the implementation of ERP will be able to improve the management level. If management has become a disease, then, ERP can only fuse the real medicine is a business management strategy and internal management staff to enhance the management level. Also, many small and medium enterprises, the one person to do a few posts, the implementation of ERP is bound to affect the normal work, together with ERP implementation time is very long, how can companies afford since then?
Financial barriers should in fact be the biggest barrier. The implementation of ERP prone to millions, tens of millions, for small and medium enterprises, and ultimately to create value or by products, ERP, at best, is an information platform. ERP in the short term, apart from helping to cultivate and to help staff the concept, the negative returns. As for the long-term interests, for the efficiency gains and cost reduction, but also fundamentally corporate governance will produce fundamental changes in the structure of the self-optimization path. Available in today's competitive situation, the survival of SMEs is still in the stage, the company has only put more equipment in the production improvement, process improvement, and the it possible to obtain a timely return on revenue, and create sustainable momentum in the management and staff training input naturally less, not to mention the construction of information management. If the pressure in the ERP of Po, the SMEs can wait until the "long-term income" of that day? |
