Use of enterprise resource planning

ERP, we must first understand what ERP does. Let me show you a classic case, and first understand the role of ERP.

Case: One day at noon, my husband called home from outside: "Dear wife, can I take some colleagues home for dinner tonight?" (Order Intention)

Wife: "Sure, how many people will come? When will you come? What kind of food do you want? "

Husband: "six people, we will come back around 7 o'clock and prepare some wine, roast duck, tomatoes, scrambled eggs, cold dishes and egg drop soup." . . . . . Do you think it's okay? "(business communication)

Wife: "No problem, I'll be ready," (order confirmation)

The wife records the menu to be made (MPS plan) and the specific dishes to be prepared: duck, wine, tomatoes and eggs as oil. . . . . . (BOM bill of materials), found the need: 1 duck, 5 bottles of wine, 4 tomatoes, . . . . (BOM expansion), scrambled eggs need 6 eggs and egg drop soup needs 4 eggs (* * * material).

Open the refrigerator and look (at the warehouse). There are only two eggs left (lack of materials /MRP).

When I came to the free market, my wife said, "How much are the eggs?" (Purchase inquiry)

Vendors: "1 1 yuan, half a dozen 5 yuan, 1 9.5 yuan."

Wife: "I only want eight, but this time I'll buy 1 dozen." (Economic bulk purchase)

Wife: "Here is a bad one, change it." (Acceptance, material return and material replacement)

Back home, ready to wash vegetables, cut vegetables and stir-fry . . . . (process route), there are gas stoves, microwave ovens and rice cookers in the kitchen. . . . . . (work center). My wife found that plucking duck feathers takes the most time (bottleneck process, key process route), and it may be too late to cook roast duck in microwave oven (insufficient capacity), so she decided to go to the restaurant downstairs to buy ready-made ducks (product consignment).

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the phone rang again: "Mom, some students are going home for dinner tonight. Please help prepare. " (urgent order)

"Well, son, what do you want to eat? Dad has guests tonight, too Would you like to eat with them? "

"It's up to you, but there must be scrambled eggs with tomatoes. We don't eat with adults and come back around 6: 30. " (Hehe, it can't be handled singly)

"Ok, I'm sure you'll be satisfied." (Order Confirmation)

There are not enough eggs again. Call the supplier and ask them to deliver the goods. (urgent procurement)

At half past six, everything is ready, but the roast duck hasn't been served yet. I quickly called and asked, "this is Mrs. Li." Why hasn't the roast duck I ordered arrived yet? " (Purchased by Subcontractor)

"I'm sorry, the deliveryman has already left. It may be a traffic jam. It will arrive soon. "

The doorbell rang, "Mrs. Li, this is the roast duck you want." Please sign the list. "(acceptance, warehousing, transfer to accounts payable)

At 6: 45, my daughter called, "Mom, I'm taking some friends home for dinner now." (Hehe, it's an urgent order intention again, and it needs to be in stock)

"I can't, daughter. My mother has already prepared two tables of rice today. It is too late. I'm really sorry. I'll be ready for you if I say it earlier next time. " Haha, this is the limitation of ERP use. To have a stable external environment, there must be a minimum lead time, but if there are materials in stock, it is necessary to work overtime. )

At seven o'clock, the husband asked his wife how the cooking was going. The wife immediately replied, "Dear! Roast duck, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cold dishes are all ready. Now we are making egg drop soup! Wait a minute! " (Production process and schedule control)

Don't put too much oil in the egg drop soup (to reduce the waste on the production site) ......

After seeing off all the guests, the tired wife sat on the sofa and said to her husband, "Dear, we treat guests frequently now. If you want to buy some kitchen supplies (equipment procurement), you'd better hire a nanny (even the human resources system has an interface)."

Husband: "You are the master at home. Do whatever you need. " (Approved)

Wife: "Also, the family expenses are too high recently. Use your private money to subsidize it, ok? " (Hahahaha, finally, the reminder of the payment receivable)

I want to see here, you should have a general understanding of the role of ERP. In short, ERP is integration, which is an enterprise information management system that mainly manages material resources, capital resources and information resources for manufacturing industry.

Matters needing attention in using ERP:

Establish the decision-maker of ERP system implementation

Do a good job in preliminary consultation and research.

Select ERP management software suitable for enterprise characteristics

Do a good job in employee training.

Establish and improve the project management system and operation mechanism.

Realize the integration of ERP and e-commerce
