The Advanced ERP system must also be subject to the actual situation of the enterprise.

Enterprise background

1. A relatively old discrete mechanical processing enterprise with more than 100 units in five workshops and no automation production lines and processing centers. The equipment is outdated and the automation level is quite low, and the process route is not fixed;

2. The product type covers equipment, metal structural parts, accessories and customization;

3. Production types include: Self-made, trusted processing, outsourced processing, processes entrusted, and outsourced processes;

4. After the Financial and Logistics Management of ERP, it is determined that the capacity should be managed to solve the difficulties in plan implementation, delivery on schedule, and the "relative surplus" capacity.

According to the basic situation of the enterprise, the current ERP system does not have the conditions for Capacity Calculation and management. But can the problem be avoided? No, the conditions must be met.

Solution

1. standard production capacity of each process should be established in each workshop based on vehicle, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, boring, and clamp. At the same time, key resource production capacity should be set according to key equipment in each process.

2. Establish BOM and process data, which must correspond to the above processes and various equipment and types of work.

3. The Development Plan Management Platform releases the production task and process plan based on the BOM, and calculates the workload (Working Hours) of the Process Plan based on the process, key equipment, and types of work, comparison and analysis with the company's standard production capacity.

4. Based on the above analysis results, the load of workshops, key equipment, and types of work can be obtained directly. The Planning Department starts from the beginning of the month, in this way, the production elements should be planned and prepared, the equipment and types of work should be adjusted in advance, and overtime should be arranged in a planned manner.

5. the production department can clearly and clearly define the work hours of each workshop to complete the assessment, and supervise the work progress of the workshop at any time.

6. The plan also allows you to query the completed workloads and unfinished workloads of workshops, key equipment, and types of work at any time. This not only provides the demand for saturated production capacity next month, but also provides an objective basis for urgent ticket insertion.

(Note: The above solution is implemented by: ERP system + development function + manual management .)

Although the company's approach is not as accurate as the real ERP system's capability computing, it may not meet the requirements of many ERP system capacity management; but through the above approach, it realizes the prior prediction, pre-control, pre-adjustment, in-process supervision, and post-event assessment of production capacity, and provides the maximum production capacity for the entire company's production and operation.

This example aims to explain:

1. The key to capacity management is to see what is appropriate for you (enterprise) and how you do it depends on you (enterprise ).

2. Strengthen Enterprise Management through ERP. Do not create conditions for enterprises because they do not have a foundation. enterprise management informationization cannot allow enterprises to wait for you.

3. A more advanced ERP system must also "bend to your knees" and be subject to the actual situation of the enterprise.
