These typical cases, stating that if the user should be happy with the software vendor co-operation, there must be consensus on quantitative target. In the ERP project management called the "project definition."
Project definition usually includes the following: project objectives, scope, schedule, project organization and members of both parties, responsibilities, communication systems, training and implementation methods, and how to deal with change and risk prevention, document finishing, cost breakdown, evaluation methods, acceptance and delivery conditions.
A common problem is the user's needs, "layers of overweight", said to be "the beginning did not expect that, after using the ERP has been inspired to think of." Solve this problem, first, the user must be under the guidance of consultants, training do in-depth and meticulous manner on the basis of needs analysis, find out what ERP can solve their own to solve what, targeted, and then on the project, should not blind; Second, the definition in the project make it clear in advance, if there are new requirements, according to the complexity of the new requirements and workload of the amendment to the contract, re-estimate the progress and costs. As long as there is sincerity in working these problems is not difficult to solve. "Ugly words at the head of" always necessary.
Another tendency we have to note that some companies began to emphasize "corporate management level is not high," "lower the quality of personnel," request "flexible and flexible", while software companies can not adhere to the principle of doing an excessive amount of "customer oriented. Implementation of such a "ERP", will naturally feel little effect, giving the partners bring a number of trumped-up conflict. ERP is a standardized and scientific management, with all the stereotypes out of tune the implementation of ERP to optimize business processes, in order to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises must not be the pretext of "national conditions" to accommodate backward. Experienced a long-term bullying by foreign powers of the Indian people, can understand the "backward will be beaten," the truth. Now, some people on the one hand stressed that India-made ERP software should meet the "conditions", while advocating domestic ERP software to go abroad to achieve "international" and how to solve this problem we will wait and see, I wish success.
Common standards for judging the success of
The purpose and goal of every enterprise are different standards of success may be different. However, where there are some common evaluation parameters, refer to the spirit of a balanced scoring summarized into four categories.
(1) Project delivery process
One result could be through different processes comes from. If the process is reasonable, the result is not only "inevitable" and could be "sustainable." On the contrary, this result may be short-lived, short-lived; acceptance of the adoption of the new system shelved, business as usual. Therefore, as project evaluation, we must not only look at the results, but also look at the process. Specifically consider the following aspects:
* Reflect the number one project, the entire project is in the number one personal attention and guidance of the implement.
• Project preparatory work for a correct diagnosis of enterprise management, there is a demand analysis and investment-benefit analysis (or feasibility analysis report), after a serious discussion of the senior management of research adopted by consensus.
* There is a viable and measurable quantitative target.
* Implementation of the project to comply with the principles of project management, implementation process, documentation intact.
(2) System Application
Buy ERP software, it is necessary to use them practically. Evaluation of applications, not only from the individual departments to inspect, ERP is a highly integrated information management system, so from a holistic and integrated perspective to examine. You can note the following:
* Senior managers to use business information systems management and decision making.
* Employee satisfaction with the new system, becoming managers to solve a variety of management issues, improving the daily work and a powerful tool for optimizing decision-making can not be separated.
* Choose a system has been fully up and running, reflecting the core business of information integration.
* Implementation of product research and development and the core management business information integration.
* To ensure the smooth flow of information flow and work to carry out the necessary business process reengineering or improvement.
