How gracefully Garment ERP, Apparel industry and ERP
|
Apparel industry of information technology and other industries to more than is taking the slow, because apparel industry is a labor-intensive, more traditional industries. Therefore, in the process of the information, and its relatively late start number. The current clothing market, real spend ERP Apparel manufacturers are very small, here is the definition of ERP must be finance, sales, production, procurement, human resources, such a comprehensive, integrated suite of software, through the past two years for the apparel industry study, we found that the apparel industry in the information technology has many problems encountered.
First of all, for information technology projects, many entrepreneurs for this item a complete lack of understanding. Prior to the ERP companies did not fully prepared to compare the blind, many companies because of information technology is not a correct values, and more based on the cost of investment-led, choose a few simple, it seems is in line with What is needed to solve the surface problem to a little system, which led to the formation of information islands one by one. Wait until the day when you need to integrate all systems, the system and system interface between the establishment and maintenance costs need to spend significantly beyond imagination. In addition, replacement of terms in the system, such as the number of garment enterprises are now beginning with the first set of a small software, as the business grows, matures, the need to replace a relatively large and complete systems, the data import is also a big trap.
We have seen these problems, according to the present macro-economic environment, we have to face not only the local competition in a market economy, we need to enter the international market competition, the information is not in fact a matter of choice, enterprises should become stronger and bigger, information is also necessary to do things. However, the implementation of ERP, engaged in information technology so difficult, the problem is so many companies are not very mature, but also in the Chinese market at an unprecedented phase of rapid change. Many people think that the situation is and enterprise information technology have a major contradiction. Because the ERP have to do is how to standardize business processes, but now Chinese enterprises in its development stage of the life-line, it is a fierce long stage, and the macro environment is constantly changing, that entrepreneurs are now in order to survive The pursuit of a more opportunistic, so standardized process for them was not the first one. So they needs and specifications provided by the ERP process is somewhat contradictory. Secondly, now is the pursuit of all of the industry become stronger and bigger, that is growth; and businesses in Western societies has reached a certain maturity, they seek more of a profit-maximizing, while Chinese companies are looking for is the maximum size, so that in this context, there also exist some degree of problems and have a great difference.
The first hexagram: The project goals are well defined and positioning
Objectives and must be in accordance with corporate strategies and tactics to develop, we must first clear the development of an enterprise business objectives. Then, based on the business objectives, to standardize our business processes. In the existing business processes to determine bottlenecks. This is the key. When we are in a macro-economic situation has been changing circumstances, the enterprises to the ERP when the peg is needed is a bottleneck link, because the performance of the entire enterprise is an internal bottlenecks in the decision. We need to understand, Dr. Goldratt the bottleneck theory, or a theory of constraints. He mentioned in the theory: First of all we have to find a bottleneck. For example, a corporate pursuit of profit maximization, then the most difficult within the enterprise what is the biggest bottleneck is. That is you in the process of information technology, we must stare at the bottleneck to do. Then need to dig as much as possible to do this bottleneck function, and then the other part must be to accommodate the bottleneck link. This train of thought is very important. A very current problem is that in any factory floor, there is always a machine or a process is a bottleneck process. If the arrangements do not take into account the bottleneck of production processes, so that all machines are desperately production, then the factory will immediately be filled with a semi-finished products, resulting in congestion and the high inventory conditions, while the real worry of the products can not be timely delivery. This is not an inevitable consequence of accommodating the bottleneck processes.
