The lack of change in the effective management
Machiavelli said: "there is no more difficult than to change the order, and dangerous things." Associated with the ERP software implementation is the business process optimization, reorganization and staff adjustment. All these are the interests of the existing order and touch, will inevitably lead to psychological as well as action, resistance. Resistance to change is a normal phenomenon, but this is detrimental to the implementation of ERP software. The key is, it is necessary for the effective management of change.
Project Management ineffective
View of India over the implementation of ERP companies, little progress without delay, not to exceed the budget of the project results of great satisfaction. This is the result of poor project management.
The six response measures
Measures 1: to win the full support of decision-making and authorization
The nature of ERP system implementation is to manage change is the "number one" process. In addition to decision-makers in the project meetings or other occasions expressed the importance of ERP outside is more important is the project manager full authority. This is because the project is to rely on a matrix of the project team to promote, and work resources are mainly derived from the various departments. In domestic enterprises, the difficulties of communication between departments are a common phenomenon.
Measures 2: The business process optimization based on
ERP software, in which the soul is the inherent management thinking, and technology is supported. One of the key elements is the business process optimization (BPR) and knowledge management (KM, Knowledge Management). Not in business process optimization and knowledge management as the goal and foundation of the ERP, it will become the IT black hole. Such examples abound.
Measures 3: Standardize, and strict project management
First, to formulate a detailed, systematic, pragmatic and dynamic project planning, and use the new plan to continuously adapt to changes in the environment; and then, using appropriate methods (eg, WBS, Work Breakdown Structure) for a thorough analysis of project objectives, while ensuring that all project objectives and activities to be lively exchange; Second, the well-formed project team, including team structure, project managers and members of the establishment of project management standards, but also the full authority of project managers, project managers must take the lead to ensure that the project progress and cost control; again, the important issues of implementation of the project must be clear and timely decision-making, should be the company's signature top decision-making as a starting point for the project; and finally, all departments must actively participate throughout.
Measures 4: small step for sprint
To the implementation of ERP software, broken down into several smaller parts, each focus on a speedy completion of a part of, and then at the appropriate time to complete the other part. If you try to complete all the project objectives at the same time will only result in duplication of effort not only a waste of time and waste of money. And each should be the time to achieve an objective assessment to ensure that the entire project can be brought under control.
Measures 5: selective partner
Whether it is management consulting phase, or the software implementation phase, a good reputation, integrity is responsible, experienced partner (ERP implementation services provider), will be the success of the project and application of effects play a very important role. Otherwise, no matter how strong their resolve, no matter how capable project management team, the final results will be dragged into the quagmire of a dilemma.
Measures 6: A practical enough, easy to use, durable principles of ERP software selection
In the software selection, we should avoid one-step trend. Even IBM, GE can never do this. This is because, the company and its exposure to the environment in which development and change; At the same time, IT technology and ERP software is also made rapid progress. Thus, the expected one-step thinking is naive, absurd and dangerous. Different software, has its different advantages and disadvantages, we have to do is according to our needs, selecting software or a combination thereof, to achieve the best cost, efficiency and reliability.
The implementation of the ERP of the five "should avoid"
1 bogey "passive implementation." If we are to take foreign orders, or "me too" rather than out of the enterprise's own management development needs, not to the ERP.
2 exclusive "too high expectations." If you dream of the last set of ERP software will be able to capture new markets, and provides rapid financial returns, not to the ERP.
3 bogey "internal blockage." If none of all levels of management from the bottom of their hearts aware of the need for the implementation of ERP, did not establish a new order and better prepared for the distribution of benefits, not to the ERP.
4 exclusive "asking for the moon." If you are even the most basic of computer network system integration, and management are to understand information professionals was not enough, not to the ERP.
Five Note "to take reckless action." ERP is not just a set of "software" is more accurate to set the strategy, organization, down to the daily business processes of a "solution", if you think the introduction of ERP is to vote more money and a few months , find a few people do, not to the ERP. |
