Many enterprises ERP one purpose of the project is: "normative management." The so-called standard management, in fact, standardized enterprise business processes; to do any work to follow all the rules do not vary. In fact, early stage there is documentation that the MRP II, information management is a "standardized systems (formal system)", and "never regulate to the norm" is a profound management revolution. Do not belittle "Standard Management" This is a simple four words, learning can be significant.
Standardize business processes from existing business processes describe the approach, and thus the basis of competitive situation and the needs analysis, to identify problems in existing processes and, based on the impact the competitiveness of the size of the urgency of the need to address, namely, primary and secondary ; in the diagnosis and causal analysis, based on the design of the ideal business model and process programs, after repeated deliberations, put into practice, and in practice, monitor, and continuously optimized to achieve business process reengineering (BPR). Business Process Management (business process management, BPM) is to use IT technology to support process management, the completion of business process description, analysis and diagnosis, design, modeling, implementation monitoring and optimization; it is not a simple work flow (work flow) concept, is not just a mere indication of the order of work. With the corporate internal and external environment and competitive situation, changes in business processes need to continually improve BPM will be the ERP project on-line after an application area of concern, the domestic many enterprises have been applied at the beginning. Professor Hammer in the United States, while the concept of BPR, Germany, Professor Scheer has developed a BPM system, using IT technology to support the BPR concept, to provide a scientific method.
Any results are obtained through a certain process. If the process is standardized, the result must be credible. Recall that in our history the emergence of some strange phenomena, such as the Great Leap Forward, when the per-mu yield 10000 kg fields, the central leadership by the local cadres to play tone-food game, resulting in "full grain warehouses everywhere," the deceptive illusion, are only see a result, is not clear process (or for self-insurance and not say). "The result" is a kind of information, but does not mean that information flow. Based on false results to make decisions, no not the problem; the State is so, business as well.
Consulting firms for business analysis business process, we often find that some departments reporting the number of unclear origin, the data flow is broken, the doped many "artificial" factors, difficult to explain the credibility of the figures.
There is a very typical example: an enterprise's own feeling of effort over a period of time, very short delivery time has been compressed, and so would like to re-use BPM system as a further optimized. But they never imagined, by the results of BPM systems analysis shows that this enterprise of the actual delivery lead time is not originally understood, the number is still far to be much longer. It has strong feelings this incident, stating that if we are not from the business process to analyze the issue, many false conclusions may simply not true. When people become complacent, enjoy the following newspaper to report on the "accomplishments", it is likely the "accomplishments" does not exist.
There is a formulation, said: "Finance is the core of the core ERP" This understanding, distort the true meaning of ERP. The core idea of ERP of information integration, in an information integration system, from a process point of view to understand the various sub-systems are interdependent, interactive, do not need to grab the mountain top, no one is the core issue. In the enterprise's business processes, finance is the follow-up process. If you do not conduct sales, production and procurement of these services (pilot process), financial information, has become passive water. The financial statements reflect a period of business operations in the result is certain to businesses outside the accounting end of publicly available information. The key word here, one is the "results", one is "final" in that it does not reflect the "process" can not do "real-time." This cognitive bias occurs, in addition to certain business factors, mainly lack of "flow" concept.
Put forward the "lean production" concept "of the machine to change the world," James Janet Gorge, author of the book in July 2005 once Supply Chain Management Review Web site about an interview he went to the feelings of Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation, said: " They (referring to Toyota management) at all times the study are: process, process, process. They have the ability to accurately describe the process, analytical process capabilities, improved process capabilities; they are excellent process manager. "Janet Gorge concluded that the : "The value of all life are the result of a particular process. "Remarks, it is worth our serious consideration; some of our management team is the lack of understanding of the process and the above said several" capacity.
