A good ERP System can help companies effectively manage, monitor corporate resources, such as human resources, processes and technology. Management and monitoring of resources means not only to ensure that these resources can meet the needs of enterprises, but also includes enterprises to enhance co-ordination of the business environment to grasp.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has stimulated enterprise managers ambitions. If the right ERP technology, exploration of the border from the constant pursuit of enterprises for innovation, then the enthusiasm for this exploration is commendable. However, the situation often encountered is that for ERP exploration of passion flooded would be the right target for innovation in the rational analysis. Many enterprises in the ERP to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, but a long time can not see the long-awaited corporate restructuring, any clues. Enterprises to implement ERP failed to obtain the desired results, the reasons are numerous, but they reflect some common problems. The reason will appear ERP system, that is, to all the enterprise's data and process management into a single platform, eliminating outdated system. However, in view of various business management issues, ERP platform, the results are greatly reduced.
The implementation of ERP the first few months, in the process occurred during the implementation of a large number of deviations. Large hidden transaction turnaround time is becoming increasingly uncertain, from the invoice for payment to carry out orders, everything, or completed ahead of schedule or delayed. As a result, financial, human and material resources in the daily distribution of less and less time, potentially increasing costs. The culprit is not the technology itself, Blame ERP user to wear new shoes to walk the old path is still in the manner and process knowledge prior to operation of new processes based on new technologies. In addition, ERP master stored in the database business-critical information, such as the employees, customers, product sales and service information on subcontractors, it is often not taken seriously.
80% "From procurement to payment" and the customer orders ERP system - a direct impact on the cash outflow and inflow - there mismanagement or error management. Similarly, the problem is not technology, but rather the different user groups in the management of a lack of sensitivity, failed to recognize their commitment to information maintenance in the process of importance of the role.
Management of unrealistic expectations
It should be recognized that, ERP implementation phase of the failure of the initial part of the reason is not aware of the need for revision procedures. But the main reason, it is unrealistic expectations. There are many ERP systems designers and early users of new technologies can look forward to leading enterprises to achieve unprecedented breakthroughs in one night. In the long run, this magnificent mood might be expected to cause damage to the organization. When the system fails to achieve its objectives, the user expected to nosedive.
Superstition ERP technology, people are likely to be misleading, and the results will be irritating. Now many companies believe that with ERP, is enough to magically solve the personnel and processes in the deep systemic problems. Therefore, these firms no longer willing to do detailed analysis and process reengineering. There are a number of other companies to pursue "We first do a" strategy for such a nominal or commercial value, and thus they are concerned only with the extension of enterprise platform functionality.
The pursuit of the best ERP technology, the system continued to deny more profound defects; being driven by insecurity, a leading competitor in the technology to force you into uncharted territory, which can make you self-satisfaction, but other aspects of meaningless.
In the above two cases, knee-jerk right ERP decision-making, can lead to premature and excessive emphasis on capacity-building at the expense of the key mission objectives is. The result is primarily concerned with power (power refers to the ERP system to meet a wide range of local users the flexibility). But the platform has the power of ERP (enterprise interconnected flexible approach), and its importance is far smaller than a direct focus on the future direction of enterprise, and enterprise you sure you want to achieve.
The current ERP system, the task should be to help enterprises to co-ordinate the daily control of the global business environment. And, should the strategic location of enterprise-wide ERP system in accordance with the strategic deployment, and re-adjust the business people, processes and platforms (people, processes, platforms). We should always ensure that the three P's reasonable arrangements to focus on business operations and market trends.
