ERP planning to go the nearest road or the fastest way
ERP planning enterprise On the ERP process is a key step is to side with corporate strategy level, the enterprise as an organic whole, take full account of firm's environment, their own potential, industry characteristics, the qualifications and business need for further development, outline enterprises in a given period, the want to achieve the degree of internal control to determine the progress of ERP implementation.
When a specific plan, pay attention to the following questions.
1. We must establish the overall concept, pay attention to "bucket theory" of
A missing along the mouth of the barrel, which deposits the amount of water, does not depend on the longest piece of wood, but on the shortest piece of wood. This is the management of the "bucket theory."
ERP is the height of standing up the whole enterprise development and application of the various departments are restraining each other and mutual restraint. A department of a small mistake, it will affect various departments.
I remember last year, a financial manager called me into saying that this system back to how things worked out or the unit cost difference of Rupees 5, if the actual cost is really so low, we have already got rich? I smile a bit and did a search down to it. From storage, to receive material, to material purchase, step by step, checking for several hours and finally found the problem: material price error. Originally, this product one of the lower prices of materials, procurement approval process is not done in strict accordance with the price, resulting in material purchase costs increased, leading to lead off the price of materials has also gone up, the cost will go up. Finally change the price, re-run of the trip process, it accurate. It is because a small oversight of procurement staff, resulting in the entire chain of errors, the true like "a criminals, bad pot gruel."
Therefore, we do ERP planning, be sure to bring the various departments must be taken into account, we should use it as a whole, do not sacrifice one, bearing in mind the effect of your last ERP implementation is to see "casks" in "the most at the end of a board, "rather than" highest. "
2. Pay attention to "team effect", to establish an efficient team
Each cask will always be the shortest one board the original barrel theory tells us that cask storage capacity depends on the height of the shortest board. However, the use of a particular state, through mutual cooperation, increase the storage capacity of a certain, if a conscious direction of the wooden plate inclined to the length of its storage capacity than the barrels are much more immediate; or for temporary increase storage capacity, you can cut the long board to short board at the next meeting so as to enhance storage capacity.
The long-term barrel storage capacity, but also on close co-barrel nature of the wood to meet the need of convergence, there is no gap, each piece of wood has its own specific location and the order can not be wrong. If the co-ordination between each board is not good, a gap and eventually can only lead to leakage.
ERP implementation because it involves the stakes in every department, so when the implementation will inevitably encounter all kinds of obstacles. This is necessary in the planning, to consider the establishment of a new team, breaking the original interest in the formation of a new interest groups.
A team without good co-consciousness, unable to deal with each other fill the seats and convergence, the final storage capacity can not be increased. A single plank and then a long useless, such a combination can only be said to be a pile of wooden planks, rather than a full barrel, a team.
If the composition of the various blocks of wooden casks as the various departments, the barrel as a group. Thus, in order to obtain the maximum benefits of group members, each member will make the idea of trying to install more water-casks; order to make casks loaded with the amount of water, each block of wood will be tightly side by side, short the efforts to on the drawing, a long effort to tilt his side to help short. It will be able to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the staff, and regain the initiative.
3. Do ERP planning the enterprise should have determination to avoid "stop-gap"
There is a story called "pigeons move" is so to say.
A pigeon always constantly moving.
It is felt that each new nest lived not long, there is a thick strange odor, making it breath, the last resort, had been moved.
It felt very disturbed, put an experienced trouble with the old pigeons complained.
The old pigeon said: "You moved house so many times there is no use ah, because that is not you troubled by strange odor coming from a nest inside the issue, but ah the taste of your own body."
You know, ERP is a reform, not for the better. When confronted with a conflict process, if found to be flawed business processes, we must change the process, rather than superficial, change system processes to adapt to business processes. This is undoubtedly guilty of pigeons to move error.
Therefore, we ERP in planning the time, but also ask ourselves, Do we have this "revolution" determination and courage, if not, you are on the ERP of the conditions are not yet mature, and suggest you temporarily put aside.
Fourth, in the planning ERP, it is necessary in stages, not all at once on the module, one should avoid "a result of eating an elephant"
Time, I had a company boss told me a story, I feel very good argument, here, out to share with you.
One day, an employee of a company hurried to go to work that day, he has a very important meeting is about to upgrade his personal matters, but why this morning, got up late, if late today, he certainly finished upgrading. So, today he was not late for the worst, he is now only 30 minutes, under normal circumstances, to do public transportation, then had to take an hour.
The officers just take a taxi, hoping to catch up with attend the meeting.
Cut him with difficulty into a taxi, rushed on the bus, he will be the driver, said: "Master, I am in a hurry, I want you to take the shortest way!"
The driver asked: "Sir is to take the shortest route, or the fastest way to go?"
A small staff of the curiosity to ask: "the shortest way is not the fastest it?"
"Of course not, it is now during peak hours, the shortest route will be traffic congestion. If you are in a hurry will have to detour, and although they go a little way, but it is the fastest way."
A small staff, we prefer the fastest way to go.
The way he saw there is a street not far from the traffic congestion was packed, the driver explained that is the shortest way. Said the driver did not bad, indeed more than a little way to go unimpeded, although the journey far more time to spend, spend points on the cost, they soon reach their destination.
Eventually catch up with small staff meetings, but also up the level when the department head.
People always want to step. Effects often associated with an efficiency that once there is efficient, there will be a result.
Time, I am prepared to give an enterprise implementation of the ERP when the boss asked me to give him on-line within three months. I tactfully told him of this story, and he said: Some ERP implementation consultant can give you within three months on-line, or even a month no problem. However, you can not get that after the implementation of ERP effects, and he can not make your business change anything.
Finally, he listened to my proposal, I spent a year's time, give him to run a successful on-line. |
