ERP selection: need to first understand their own
Preparations for ERP Selection ERP for each item, or to update the ERP companies are very concerned about the project thing. Indeed, as the basis for enterprise information technology, ERP is in an irreplaceable location. Selected to implement well and make good use of ERP is to raise the level of enterprise management indispensable basic condition.
To tell the truth, then it's best-known at home and abroad a number of ERP suppliers, to make a choice between them is like you buy a computer is to select the "Legend" does, or choose "IBM" the same. After more than two decades of continuous refinement, absorbing countless cases of experience has spent countless money, these well-known ERP vendors have done very well in their products. Whether you are a group or small manufacturing enterprises, no matter what kind of demand, they always say it can give you a lot of new words, new concepts and”perfect” Solutions. In fact, in terms of product features, among them do not have much difference. Its in vain in what brand to choose between ERP, not as good as they do in many of the implementation of agents to choose between businesses. We are very aware that implementation of the project is the key to success of the project; and agent level and the professional attitude of consultants vary.
So, ERP for manufacturing enterprises the best selection headache what is it? A number of difficult problems are concentrated in the production planning management. This is precisely the core function of ERP is the core business interests lie.
This article does not discuss the ERP financial, Invoicing, customer resources and human resources management, and business process management module functions like OA, is only involved in ERP production control problems.
1. ERP originated in the process-based enterprise management, and its theoretical framework, mathematical models, and user interaction mode, in the 20 years of market applications have been closer to perfect, and production management functions are beginning to discrete manufacturing industry. However, because of its infrastructure constraints, only in production mode for the line production, high-volume, low variety, processes of industrial production do something simple.
ERP application output value of this type of business account for the vast majority of the entire industrial output value.
2. Applied to discrete manufacturing, ERP-based theory in the "four errors", which is the main reason it can not be successfully applied. This "four errors" are: inverted (JIT), balanced production, safety stock, the production cycle. But in addition to production management function modules, ERP module and other features discrete manufacturing also have universal application.
ERP does not apply in this category the number of firms account for the vast majority of industrial enterprises as a whole.
How, then, what kind of business for ERP, what kind of businesses do not fit ERP? There is a production model of the classification problem.
Second, the classification of production models
In the preceding narrative, as well as all current textbooks, enterprises are classified as "process-type" and "discrete." This classification is not perfect. Because of this simple classification, modes of production of many enterprises do not know whether I should go there a kind of sub. According to systems science, systems are divided into simple systems and complex systems, in accordance with the actual manufacturing enterprises, but also should be divided into "simple mode of production" and "complex mode of production." |
