ERP project implementation as long as the staff has done, are well aware of the importance of top leaders. Failure to consistently implement the first in command, then the ERP project is likely to give up halfway.
Why is number one project so important?
ERP project involves a wide range of its implications for the whole range of companies and even the whole group.
ERPIs an enterprise resource planning system, which controls all aspects of the resources of the enterprise, from sales to finance, from product to cost, and both the scope of its jurisdiction. It like a business manager, the management wants employees to obey housekeeper, without the owner's support, how can convincing butler?
Especially now that internal departments exists between the faults, such as sales can not be timely from the production or finance, where to obtain the latest product cost information, which might affect its offer; production is unable to grasp the material to the material information affecting their production arrangements. The transmission of information not usually have time to delay.
To get through the wall between the departments, so that a more fluent flow of information, so that ERP information sharing and information in a timely manner to the company in terms of greater efficiency, which should be "number one" in strong support.
Number one is the ERP projects, process reengineering of the driver.
ERP Software with the common difference is that custom software, ERP is a packaged software is a mature product; and is the difference between the nature of ERP involves both a standard set of management processes, ie, river has been forming, and the dam has also made good, the water can only be determined in accordance with that direction, namely, the rules flowing, businesses can only be dug up with a few streams, rather than change the pattern of rivers.
The benefits of standardization processes is that ERP is not just a set of software, but also is an enterprise management tool, its rich connotation of management thinking and management tools, MRP, lead time, scheduling and other management applications for enterprise zone to a greater effectiveness; stock alarm, excess control, etc., for production, property, safety, on the one lock. These functions should be able to apply to business management would require businesses operating procedures, job specifications required in accordance with ERP walk to require enterprises to process reengineering.
For process reengineering, will change a company's existing non-standard mode of operation. “old habits die hard" to change the operation of employee originally habits, insisted number one with the "discretionary power" should not.
As has been previously found to purchase a single buyer's purchase quantity errors, we make changes directly in the purchase order, and then initialed the signature can be in the wrong office. But the system requirements are different, it require any changes to documents, must all through the system. To change the traditional methods of operation, only the management system want to combine can be changed. If top leaders do not develop the corresponding management system, then the employee will inevitably be "relapse."
Therefore, the business process reengineering, only the first in command of the powerful impetus in order to proceed.
ERP system implementation cycle is long, more than uncertainty.
ERP implementation cycle varies from a few months, as many as half a year, a year, or even years, can be implemented successfully, indicating efficiency. In such a long time, there are more uncertain factors, such as changes in the project team members, the company product line changes, changes in production patterns and so on. These uncertainties tend to result in the extension of ERP project implementation cycle and costs increase, the how to control the occurrence of adverse factors, the coordination of one of the advantages and disadvantages, these are number one in the implementation of ERP projects, we should consider.
