Analysis And Evaluation For ERP

Since early 1990's, industrial production has migrated to the era of knowledge-oriented economy, and information industry has gradually dominated the modern economy. With the objective to fast gain market share and achieve high return rate, global manufactures start to shift from mono-production to hybrid-production with multi-angle operation. This shift has made many enterprises feel that the existing MRPII cannot satisfy their demand for highly efficient production and operation by taking advantage of all market resources, and that they are in great need of a MIS, which can well support and manage the hybrid manufacturing environment and satisfy the enterprises' demand for multi-angle operation. Given this circumstance, ERP becomes the research focus of the industry.The author, from the perspective of system designing and based on the core philosophy of ERP, studies how to design and build a completely new ERP system based on the "supply chain", analyzes suppliers, manufactures, distribution channels and customers on the ERP system supply chain so as to integrate finance, distribution and human resources management systems, and realize the dynamic balance of material flow, cash flow as well as information flow within the enterprises. Additionally, the author gives further research on the perspectives of system planning and functionality realization to integrate and restructure customer demand, enterprise internal manufacturing activities and production resources of suppliers.In Chapter III, by classifying the enterprises into a few supporting sub-systems which work coordinately, the author makes thorough studies on several key functionality modules of ERP, including finance (accounting, finance management, budgeting, etc.), material flow management (procurement, inventory, distribution), production (planning, manufacturing, quality control) as well as human resources, proposes a series of standard of designing and implementing ERP.Chapter IV, discusses the objective evaluation and risk control of ERP so as to provide a useful reference for designing and M.E of domestic ERP.
