Does not "anticipate" what to talk about the success
ERP project would judge the success of software vendors and users is often confusion between issues. Opening of Modern Indian Dictionary, look up what is success? Successful, "achieve the desired results" is also. The key word here is "expect," did not expect the impossible to talk about success. Therefore, the main basis for judging the success is "expect," or "goal."
Ask the implementation of ERP corporate CEOs a few questions, should be able to find the answer:
1. Why do you have on the enterprise ERP?
2. On the ERP goals and quantifiable objectives?
3. These goals and objectives were achieved or not?
If you achieved the goal is to succeed. This is one of the most basic answer is not too simple, do not underestimate the simple, many companies still could not answer it.
You will hear a variety of answers:
* "We are a fast-growing business, not to engage in information technology can not." Logic true, but how to engage in information technology a "line" method, did not say thoroughly, work not detailed enough, did not say the Vini" anticipate," What is .
* "Our opponents are on the ERP we also need the. "On the whole not wrong, but there is no" rivalry "and" fashionable "in too? In any case, not a target.
* "We are the industry leader, we must take the lead in the information-based construction." "Higher level within three years, 50% of medium-sized enterprises in information technology, we are duty-bound." Yes, power of examples is endless. However, the information technology, after all, is not a political movement, if the goal is to do "leader", as long as the industry's "first", even achieve the purpose, but it's anything to do with the success, it is difficult to explain. Whether the pursuit of "image projects" and "achievement projects" is suspected?
In short, there are no quantifiable targets, you can not judge success.
Abroad, there are some reports have commented ERP success rate, based on "whether completed on schedule," "whether the budget overruns" to terms. For example, it was reported that: "Internationally, industry research shows that: ERP project more than 70% was not very successful. And cost an average of 240% over budget, the installation time, ultra-expected 178 percent." This is a project management objective from the perspective of judge ERP project's success or failure is not complete. Just think, if the progress of the delay, budget overruns, but to achieve the desired objectives, can not succeed do?
The consensus of users and software vendors - project definition
Ben Aster Pharmaceutical prior to the implementation of ERP, after analysis, with the software vendors agreed on the implementation of ERP is expected to reach the following indicators, such as: product on-time delivery rate and reduce the occupancy rate of capital stock to raise capital turnover rate, and improve liquidity turnover rate, lower purchasing costs, reduce production costs, reduce management costs, increase profitability, improve inventory turnover rate. Project acceptance, the Take these indicators as a judge based on the success of project implementation.
Johnson Optical Fiber and Cable Company in the implementation of ERP ago, drawing more than 70 pages of business process diagrams, and as a basis for the software selection. Project acceptance, but also as mutually agreed process to test it.
