The Application of ERP System"

It is easy to build and maintain. Although the implementation success rate of ERP is so low, 1/3 of enterprises have successfully implemented ERP. However, just like Windows, none of the software is perfect, with detailed requirements, good customization solutions, standard processes, and the practical application of enterprises, there will be some such problems. System application and improvement is a long-term task. It can not only consolidate and improve the application level of the ERP system in the enterprise to promote refined management of the enterprise, but also for future system upgrade and secondary development, and preparations for selecting new systems.

If the implementation of the ERP system is completed only when many difficulties are overcome, just like the battle to seize the country, then the application consolidation and improvement after the implementation of the ERP system can be compared to sit down. The difficulties and dangers of war are often obvious, short-term, and fatal, however, the difficulty of taking over the country is long-term and hidden, and there are many difficulties that are hard to find. The implementation and application of the ERP system are also the same. Although the implementation of the ERP system has some fatal difficulties, most of them are foreseeable and can be prepared in advance. However, many problems in the ERP system application process are very concealed, and it is prone to the phenomenon of warm boiled frogs, which eventually leads to chronic death of the ERP system.

In most cases, both the technical department in charge of project implementation and the specific system application unit focus only on the implementation of the ERP system, as if the system will be ready after implementation, in the future, all applications will be handed over to relevant business personnel of the operating system. However, the level of business personnel is limited, so that the system enters a dangerous application state or even crashes.

Therefore, it is particularly important to consolidate and improve the application of the ERP system, which should be paid attention by the technical departments and application departments of the ERP system, regular or irregular inspection and supervision of the system's application status should not only consolidate the results of ERP implementation, but also constantly explore and improve the application level in subsequent applications, deeply explore the functions of the system. Efforts should be made to manage the daily work of the company, further standardize the application and operation of the ERP system, and use the system to constrain unreasonable business processes and work methods, continuously optimize business processes to improve the application level of the ERP system, and ultimately achieve the goal of enterprise benefits to ERP.

The Application and Improvement of the system is a long-term task. It can not only consolidate and improve the application level of the ERP system in the enterprise, but also promote the refined management of the enterprise, it can also prepare for future system upgrades, secondary development, and new system selection. The main work includes the following aspects:

1. System Function Mining

In the initial stage of project implementation, the application of some modules of the system may stay superficial due to factors such as time shortage, unfamiliar software use by business personnel, and limited technology used by the Organization. It is particularly important to thoroughly explore the functions of modules that have been put into use in the existing system. This will enable the functions of the ERP system to play a greater role in enterprise management, or even better than expected.

Ii. Process Optimization and adjustment

Review whether the ERP business process formulated during project implementation is suitable for the current business needs, and optimize the process to make it more suitable for enterprises to handle daily business needs. If the organization, management system, or actual business of an enterprise changes significantly, the enterprise should promptly contact relevant ERP implementers, adjust the ERP process as needed, and modify user permissions.

Iii. Application of new modules

If some modules of the system are not fully invested in project implementation due to some factors, you can select some modules for use according to the requirements of the enterprise to give full play to the effectiveness of the overall operation of the ERP system, it facilitates enterprise management.

4. Proper Secondary Development

Based on changes in enterprise application requirements, the ERP system should be properly developed, including interface development of ERP and other software.
