Establish IT investment benefit Analysis Model

For It If the project's success is always evaluated by comments such as "Improving efficiency", it will give people a feeling of being too "Vague" and "unwrapped ". To make It A reasonable evaluation and benefit analysis method is required.

In fact, many theories, principles, and methods have emerged in the investment benefit analysis of information projects, suchCostTCO, economic value-added Eva, overall economic impact Tei, and balanced scorecard (BSC. However, these methods often make enterprises feel helpless and cannot truly calculate the investment benefits of information projects. These methods have the following problems:

(1) lack of Operability: None of these methods provide specific steps and tools that can be used;

(2) No statistical data: these methods are basically derived from foreign countries, and the indicators and data used cannot be directly applied;

(3) Lack of pertinence: these methods are versatile, but not specific. They can be appliedCRM,ERPIt can also be applied to PLM or EIP, Which is unconvincing in actual applications.

To avoid these problems, people began to use economic benefit analysis models for calculation and evaluation. The following describes the economic benefit analysis model based on the specific practices of a company. For convenience, the company involved is referred to below as M.

Generally, the economic benefit analysis model of an information project consists of three aspects: indicators, parameters, and data. In short, indicators are variable groups of economic benefit analysis models and a set of computing formulas for analyzing economic benefits of informatization. They can include, for example, Tei, NPV, and NPV.CostTCO. Appropriate model indicators can fully demonstrate the overall economic benefits of information system applications. These model elements are usually some calculation formulas, and the variables are the key basic data of the enterprise, indicating the actual operation and management level of the enterprise, these data can usually be obtained from the enterprise's financial and statistical reports. Constant parameters indicate the performance improvement of the enterprise in terms of production, market, service, product, and R & D through the application information system, is the traction target of the application information system. The key factors of the model are mainly considered in the following aspects when analyzing the economic benefits of information system applications, determining indicators and parameters.

1. Main Problems of the company's operation and management, development strategies, key requirements of the company for the information system, development strategies of the information system, major problems and challenges to be addressed, and key-off requirements, it is one of the strategic decisions of enterprises and the basic understanding of enterprise investment informatization construction. The project investment benefit analysis is mainly reflected in the selection of KPI (Key Performance Indicators) Evaluation Indicators of the company.

2. The statistical results of enterprise application systems published by major research institutions at home and abroad are based on the Return Analysis of Investment Projects. We need to know the best results or average benefits of domestic and foreign enterprise application systems, it is necessary to understand the situation of enterprise application information systems at home and abroad, so that we can adopt the benchmark management method and select a moderate benchmark value.

(1) It is an important basis for selecting economic benefit analysis models and parameters for the effectiveness benchmarking companies of excellent enterprise informatization published in China. Despite the many domestic reports andArticleIntroduce the application of enterprise informatization, but it should be pointed out that it is best to choose Enterprise Informatization materials such as M's peers and competitors. In addition, due to the diversity and complexity of information-based results computing, data sources are also an important choice condition. Here, we select a group company in China as the benchmark company. According to the relevant research report, the economic benefits of the company's informatization construction are as follows:
A. The material management system reduces the inventory from 60 days to 40 days. The average inventory balance is RMB 362.34 million, saving RMB 104.59 million per year.CostIn 6%, equivalent to a year's decreaseCostRMB 6.28 million;

B. The backlog of losses is reduced from 0.59% to 0.29%. Based on the turnover of 24003.1 million yuan, the annual savings are 72.01 million yuan.CostIn 6%, equivalent to a year's decreaseCostRMB 4.32 million;

C. The financial management system, sales management system, and customer management system reduce the turnover days of receivables by 15 days, and calculate the average balance of receivables of 835.01 million yuan, which is equivalent to saving RMB 104.47 millionCost6%, lowerCostRMB 6.27 million;

D. In terms of production automation, the conversion rate of single soda carbonization is increased by 0.8 age points, with each ton of alkaliCostReduced by 18 yuan, with an annual output of 0.95 million tons, and an annual fund of 17.1 million yuan. For M Company, the information-based economic benefit analysis report can be used for information-based benefit evaluation and analysis.

(2) Research and statistics on indirect benefits of informatization by foreign research institutions. In addition, due to the short start of large-scale informatization work in China, there is a lack of economic research on Informatization and there is not enough theory and data, representative results published by foreign research institutions can also be studied and studied. The evaluation conclusions of the three foreign companies are selected below.

A. benchmarkingpartners, an internationally renowned benchmark company, manages enterprise application ERPSoftwareThe benefits are analyzed and analyzed, as shown in table 1.

B. The American Society of production and inventory control apics is one of the earliest research institutions for information systems. It published the "oliverwight ABCD Evaluation Form" to evaluate the overall implementation of MRPII. See table 2.

C. Aberdeen, an internationally renowned IT research institution, analyzed the well-known enterprises. After fully implementing the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system, the following conclusions are drawn:

(1) Saving 5-10% of direct materialsCost;

(2) increase the inventory turnover rate by 20-40%;

(3) reduce developmentCost0-20%;

(4) The market entry speed is increased by 15-50%;

(5) reduce the cost for quality assurance by 15-20%;

(6) Reduce ManufacturingCost10%;

(7) increase productivity by 25-60%.

Drawing on the statistical table of economic benefits adopted by the above three foreign companies, m companies can also begin with the above key indicators to evaluate the economic benefits of their informatization.

3. The purpose of the Results statistics after IT applications are implemented in the last five years is to select parameters in the benefit analysis model based on the company's foundation. If the enterprise has not applied the information system, the parameter determination can only rely on other references. Taking M as an example, it is a key national enterprise and industry leader. M has been applying information technology for more than 15 years. In the past five years, M has introduced foreign MRPII systems. In reality, the application results directly reflect the basic and capabilities of the company's information application, it integrates enterprises' attitudes towards informatization, adaptability, learning ability, application level, and Enterprise Foundation, and is an important basis for appropriate selection of pre-calculation indicators. See table 3.
4. In the past two years, some KPI indicators of the company have been implemented in various departments because M adopts a performance appraisal system using the Balanced Scorecard as a tool, KPIs have two meanings: indicators are not only the basis of work assessment and evaluation, but also the goal of the Department to be improved. We hope that the computer information system can help enterprises achieve their respective goals at the tactical layer while implementing the company's strategy, so as to achieve the company's operation and management goals.
