Study On Manufacturing Enterprises ERP Application Model

Manufacturing enterprises have already developed extensively to a significant scale in China. However there is still a big gap of the manufacturing capability compared with developed countries. In addition to the reason of lower development and research capabilities, the insufficient information technology usage in manufacturing environment is also a major factor, which handicapped the efficiency and effecitiveness of resources distribution and technology applications. In order to be competent in the world, we must improve our information management. In recent years, ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) system as a way of improving enterprise information management has been accepted, and the introduction of ERP as an advanced management tool and ideas has become an only choice. ERP is the hybrid of advanced management ideas and information technology, and it stands for the highest level of the current integrated enterprise management software system. With ERP system support, enterprise materials, information, cash, and work flows can be managed in an integrated way to bring in an optimized resource allocation. Furthermore, to a certain degree, ERP system implementation also needs and forces the renovations in business processes, product development patterns and design ideas, based on this a contemporary enterprise management system based on cooperated commercial patterns could be built up .The ERP applications in China have already brought in much economic and social benefits., But the number of ERP applications is still very small for China, the implementation cycles still long, and the application still not even for different industrial sectors and geographical regions. There is still a big gap between China and the Western advanced countries. The success of ERP applications does not depend only on how good the techniques, networks, and ERP software are, or how much capital being invested,but also the individual enterprise's understanding on ERP, and it's implementation methods. Based on the current status of ERP applications in China, there exist problems which need to be resolved in many aspects. To increase ERP application implementation success possibility, a thorough and systematical study must be done to provide a whole systematic set of application methods.
