Editor Press: Introduction to ERP is a question that many companies are quite focused. Since the first MRPII software has introduced the first MRPII software from the German Engineers Association in 1981, MRPII / ERP has experienced nearly 20 years. From start, explore the present, especially in 1998, ERP began to become familiar with all walks of life. But what is the future of ERP, and the future of ERP will be, and how domestic enterprises introduce ERP according to their own situation, and receive good results is still the topic of people's debate. Mr. Jinda Ren, a long-term study, research and practice of modern enterprise management theory for a long time, has a deep research, rich practical experience and unique insights on ERP principle and its application and development, its thoughts and views in China Has certain integrity, forward-looking, and guiding. Mr. Jinda Ren's "ERP in China", concentrated on his research ideas and views in recent years, hoping to learn and exchange between readers, and promote the application and development of ERP in my country.
The development of ERP is to understand the ERP, we must first understand the development process of Western corporate management theory: first is the order point method (OP, Order Point), which is a 1940s to control inventory Target, based on regular, quantitative procurement methods, enterprise inventory management methods; then the material demand plan (MRP, MATERIAL REQURENT Planning) is a mid-1960s, to enhance material planning and control, minimize stock Reduce fund occupation and meet the production of enterprises, based on the production and inventory management method of enterprise production and inventory based on demand procurement, next is a manufacturing resource program (MRPII, Manufacturing Resources) is a corporate resource based on the end of the 1970s. Optimize the configuration to ensure the continuous, balanced production, realize the information flow, logistics and capital flow, and improve the overall level of enterprises, plan and control as the main line, modern enterprise for corporate production, supply, sales, and wealth. Management ideas and methods. Finally, it is a corporate resource plan (ERP, Enterprise Resources Planning) is a 1990s, market and customer demand-oriented, to implement the internal and external resource optimization configuration, eliminate all invalid labor and resources in the production process. To achieve information flow, logistics, capital flow, value stream and business flow organic integration and improve customer satisfaction, plan and control as the main line, network and information technology as platform, set customers, market, sales, purchase, Planning, production, finance, quality, service, information integration and business process restructuring (BPR, Business Process Rengineering), etc., modern enterprise management ideas and methods for supply chain management (SCM, Supply Chain Management). What is the future ERP? In the face of market competition and business management development trends in the new economic era, future ERP will be a new, integrated management, technology, and information, SCM system. Its main feature is: to further improve competitiveness, market share and get the maximum profit; market-oriented, customer demand centered; open, interactive SCM; implement collaborative business, collaborative competition and win-win principles; Make full use of advanced management technology, information technology, network technology and integration technology. The main extension of future ERP is:
1) Supports a variety of production types, various business methods and various industries, cross-regional SCM patterns. 2) Support SCM basic operation mode of collaborative business, collaborative competition and win-win principles. 3) Support Market Analysis, Sales Analysis, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM, Customer Relationship Management). 4) Support a variety of plans and optimization emission methods including advanced planning and production technology (APS). 5) Support e-commerce (EC, Electronic Commerce). 6) Support logistics and distribution center management. 7) Support Group's capital operation management. 8) Support for greater range of information integration and system openness. For future ERP titles and current issues related to ERP, we think this is not a major problem. The US APICS believes that the future ERP will be a comprehensive enterprise integration (TEI) system; the US GG company is called the future ERP for ERPII; there are also a variety of titles. But no matter how it is called, the key to see the basic ideas, features and functions of these systems, that is, to see its essence. When you choose ERP, you must make your own needs and application goals. The rapid development of new economies characterized by the network economy, the knowledge economy and the e-commerce revolution, is not only profoundly changing the production, trade, life and learning methods of human society, but also encompasses a huge change in the development trend. The main features of these changes are:
1) Some large enterprise groups implement strong joint, form new multinational strategic alliances, which developed into the driving force and main force of economic globalization. 2) More and more companies have gone out of the country to participate in the international market. 3) The global market competition has changed from the competition between the original enterprises and enterprises into competition between supply chain and supply chain. 4) The competitive advantage between supply chain and supply chain depends primarily on the innovation capabilities and core competencies of the supply chain. 5) Collaborative business, collaborative competition and win-win principles become the basic operation mode of SCM. 6) Information technology, network technology and integrated technology's videos, not only provide the necessary conditions and foundations to strengthen SCM and enterprise management, but also bring new challenges and opportunities to the survival and development of supply chain and enterprises. 7) The five elements of time, quality, cost, service and environment have become the main sign of the overall level and competitiveness of a supply chain and enterprise. 8) Knowledge and customer information have become the main resources of supply chain and enterprises.
We need to clarify some concepts during the prospect of ERP and its application. Among them, SCM has the following nine features, namely: demand, competitive, synergistic, integrity, tightness, wow, complexity, crossability, and dynamics. The basic idea of SCM in the new economic era is the market and customer demand, with core companies to improve competitiveness, market share, customer satisfaction and maximum profit, to collaborate, collaborate, and win-win The principle is the basic operation mode, by using modern enterprise management technology, information technology, network technology and integrated technology to achieve effective planning and control of information flow, logistics, capital flow, value stream and business flow on the entire supply chain, thus Partners such as customers, vendors, suppliers, manufacturers and service providers are connected into a complete network chain structure to form a very competitive strategic alliance. The CRM in the Internet economy has the following new features: First, strive to establish, maintain and develop a long-term, good collaborative business relationship between enterprises and customers; the second is the essence of enterprises and customers, supplier relationships It is a win-win principle; the third is to work hard to improve customer satisfaction; four is to provide new high-quality products and perfect services; five is one of the main resources of modern enterprises; Sixth is the rapid processing and analysis of customer information. BPR is a form of enterprise management innovation. Its core thinking is to keep fundamental thinking and thorough restructuring of the original business process of enterprises, so that time, cost, quality, service, speed and environment reflect the elements of supply chain and business competitiveness. Improve and improve, adapt to market competition. As for the e-commerce that is now popular, for the company, electron is a means and is a tool. Business is its true core and purpose. E-commerce, from the surface, refers to the use of electronic technology, information technology and network technology to replace traditional means and tools, complete market analysis, material procurement, product sales, online transactions, logistics distribution, payment and payment and payment and payment The whole process of various business activities such as customer service. From a deep perspective, the true meaning of e-commerce refers to a new business philosophy and operation mode based on management technology, electronic technology, information technology, network technology, integrated technology. The fundamental purpose and meaning of the application ERP Application ERP's fundamental purpose is based on learning, research and application of foreign modern enterprise management ideas and methods, and has changed backward enterprise management model as soon as possible, and then establish a new set of markets. Business management model of economic system. Enterprise Application ERP must drive corporate management, strive to achieve leap-forward development of enterprise management level and productivity level, which in turn promotes my country's industrialization process to ensure sustainable national economy. A large number of research and practice have fully demonstrated that ERP has no direct relationship with the ideological and social production relationship and social production system of modern enterprise management, which is a provision of productivity, aimed at improving the management level and productivity level of enterprises. Therefore, vigorously promote the application of ERP, and quickly transform into real productivity, is the goal of the world's various companies, not subject to any national, national conditions, and factory. In fact, promoting application ERP is a specific approach and approach to effectively enabling my country's business management towards more scientific, rationalization and standardization. Who can trial, timely, and apply this method and apply this method; who can quickly change its own face-backed face through management innovation, narrow the gap between the management level and productivity levels of developed countries in Western industries; who can be in 21 Increase your competitiveness, survival capacity and development capabilities in the global competition. ERP project is an enterprise management system engineering, rather than corporate management information system projects or corporate information construction projects because the entire management system is not only based on the idea of modern science and technology such as ERP, system engineering and information technology. Principles and methods, and it is also essentially fully embodied in the inevitable relationship between enterprise application erp and business management innovation, promoting the management of enterprises' management and improving the competitiveness of enterprises.
