Reporter: So what is the specific difference?
Atkinson combat readiness: First of all, ERP system is based on the core accounting processes, PLM no obvious core processes. ERP more involved in corporate management level, operational processes, including sales, logistics, inventory, purchasing, production, accounting, shipping and other operating cycle, and a portion of the development process. From a certain point of view, we can say that there is a core ERP workflow, and this process is the accounting process. PLM systems than ERP, there is no obvious core processes, concatenation of all form part of business processes.
Second, ERP system, the formation of flow through the form of thread, PLM, compared with physical work.
ERP system, accounting transactions, whether or operational activities, the results can be used to express the form, such as receiving customer orders from the beginning until the completion of delivery and collection, the whole cycle into a massive process, as well as data Just enter once re-use, instead of repeating the preparation of enterprises in each stage of the operation of the form, but substantial savings in labor costs. In contrast, in the PLM system, we have mentioned earlier, R & D cycle of the core work processes, operating results of the project is not to the form to render, but as entities / objects to render, these results can not be concatenated. Thus the system is concerned PLM system is mainly for the physical work. It is often through the system in the "workflow" module, as all the entities and operations into a serial process tool.
Thirdly, ERP and PLM in the process appear on the differences, mainly due to the ERP business operations supported by the operating activities are operational, while the PLM to support R & D activities are informative, the project of operation. As we mentioned earlier the operation as an example, a customer orders ERP to complete all the work, whether it is business staff enter customer order information, the manufacturing sector into the production scheduling staff, transport personnel enter the delivery schedule, as well as warehousing procurement officer application modalities for the implementation of these operations and results are fixed, and staff is based on the pre-designed steps to implement the work and record the results, so these operations are administrative in nature, operating in nature, the form in the design process, after a good transaction would not have too much.
In contrast, new product development are informative and nature of the project work, different product development projects, there will be a different development process, by a different team members to perform, will produce different results. Even if the same circuit diagram, mapping the way to produce results, and issuance of an object may behave differently, and therefore must rely on "workflow module" to address the user's needs; even the ERP, can not resolve in the management of knowledge, and of operations when the project faces problems.
Atkinson preparedness during the interview process, a profound understanding to the Atkinson's combat readiness in enterprise information technology achievements in the area, on the one hand, leadership planning and construction of a major enterprise-wide information technology projects, such as CRM projects, ERP optimization projects, and PDM projects are successively to achieve greater success; the other hand, served as project director and project manager for leadership, development of product data management PDM system as Alcatel global harmonization of PDM systems, the global implementation of the Alcatel group to promote and improve the performance of global R & D, in the Alcatel family as a whole to achieve a "design anywhere, manufacture anywhere"; lead the Indian team is involved in Alcatel's global supply chain integration.
Atkinson readiness frankly: In the busy information technology practice of spare time, he has been trying to organize the practical experience and expertise, and theory with practice, published many monographs, translations into information technology theory and practice of double expert. Because Atkinson strategy was a favorite of academic research and at Communication Management's chief information officer (IIO), he vowed to have the opportunity to leave the company must return to colleges and universities, the most practical experience to their students to train more IT management personnel.
