Faced with an increasingly competitive desire needs of domestic and international markets and growing their business, all the furniture enterprise information construction more urgent, the application of ERP to improve management and productivity level strategic decision to become many furniture companies. So in today's ERP success rate under 25% condition, furniture companies how to ERP success? Be placed in front of many furniture companies a problem. Author based on years of experience in the furniture industry, the implementation of ERP, by serial way to explore furniture ERP success with readers. Section 1: ERP Selection: How Flirting Scholar? Familiar words, do have to buy clothes, fabrics, furniture have to prepare wood, fabric is not good, not enough clothes made out of taste; wood is not good, not enough furniture made out of high-grade, which is cause and effect dictates. ERP implementation as well. Successful implementation of ERP selection is key to ensure success. But, the selection of an appropriate set of ERP systems, the election is far from a simple cloth. Enterprises must have riccard spirit and wisdom, in order to obtain the ultimate happiness of ERP. Read the names of the current results in China, there are more than 100 foreign ERP vendors, there may be different for each vendor's product line. Such a large contingent options, as well as a few months or even a year-long selection process, companies often make the furniture look dazzled. So many ERP, in the end you choose? Think about when you buy electrical appliances, if there are consumer attitudes: one, do not buy this kind of non-first patrons think, as long as the money, "only expensive, do not buy right" has become their de facto standard. Determining a first standard, often depending on their minds more intuitive or vague concept and impact, rather than on a scientific assessment performed. 2, which is a tendency to buy this type of patrons manufacturers have contempt for all the strategy that actually is such a thing, so in control of when products seriously, which is to buy, which are similar. Such consumer attitudes also affect the ERP selection, selection of the person in charge are so many considerations, or just come to expect from a starting point of scientific decision-making gradually so the two extremes. In fact, these two views are flawed. "Non First do not buy" this "first" is often the first brand, the brand is the product, marketing, sales and other aspects constitute, and may not necessarily be a vendor product class, but its strong market capacity to become the first people's minds; Furthermore, even if the first manufacturers, their products may not adapt to their industry leading SAP, ORACLE, like it had encountered many failures, especially in the furniture industry; "buy which are into "this view is not right, in fact, still have some focus on the various manufacturers, either in the industry have a good solution, or have regional advantages, forces are not exactly the same everywhere. The author summarizes the many furniture enterprise information technology experience and lessons drawn: the current Chinese furniture enterprises, ERP selection of the most important and basic principle is:! Can solve practical problems and the smooth running of the furniture industry can not be solved The actual problem is not running smoothly, without mentioning the other! practical clincher. Often concerned with the development of ERP friends may know large domestic ERP vendors, such as UF proposed 'ERP popularization', is built on the industry with excellent software vendors, products integrate with each other on the basis of their popularity can be achieved The goal, Kingdee February 28 this year, also in Beijing joint domestic famous consulting firm, partnership, joint publication based on the "Let ERP personalized" package, from the user to the software vendor for the current prevalence of restrict user application problems most prominent contradictions - contradictions traditional general-purpose industrial applications and enterprise management software, individual needs, that is not suited to change existing applications, inflexible, does not meet the actual changes in the various sub-sectors of business management and so on, these indicate that demand "personalized" time has come. So make the ERP system running smoothly in the furniture business, you must focus on the following four areas carefully evaluated: the system applicable features of the furniture industry's (40%), if there is furniture enterprises experience (30%), the industry's success stories (20%), service (10%). 1, the system applicable in the furniture industry, the degree of features (40%) "Only buy, not expensive", the software is good, the key is that it is suitable to the industry practice, can not achieve the desired effect. For example: Can you solve sample management, the size of the order management, irregular material coding problems, production problems mantissa, parts production support issues, product shipments matching problem, the problem is expected to open the best, I feed management, loading problems, etc. If the market is good for the industry ERP software, you can prioritize what, after all, the second development is to spend time and effort, but also to the success or unknown. Selection is not successful, there will be a successful implementation of the business losses not only economic, but also the understanding of the ERP business misunderstanding, then lose confidence in the implementation of ERP probably within a few years can no longer lift the ERP, that enterprise Would not too much damage? 2, whether they have experience in the furniture enterprises (30%) to implement ERP, consultant industry experience is very important. Experienced consultants can guide customers to quickly import system; on the contrary, if there is no industry experience, and to understand the needs of industry characteristics and details, but the plant will take up to a year or even communicate with consultants for months, explained status of the plant, to explain the demand characteristics of the consultants were helplessly "anti consultant" role inversion. Thus, the consultant is only a function of the software to do some explaining and men, and did not play its due role consultants. 3, with the industry's success stories (20%) success can be replicated, although the industry's management can not be completely identical, but there will be a lot of management of common areas, therefore, the ability to peer 'learn' is very important, if Even a successful manufacturer of industrial customers are not available on-line, please be careful, or you might need to do a white mouse! 4, after-sales service (10%) on the system after the line, routine maintenance becomes a very important factor of. Whether the system is due to a number of parameters, a huge program and difficult to maintain? Information on whether the plant personnel have been trained throughout the? ERP vendors to help companies plan routine maintenance work? Whether the plant can handle routine maintenance on their own problems? ERP vendors to locate the problem whether the Right, fast response unhappy? Is the system capable of version upgrades free? Furniture companies are to be considered in the selection problem. Therefore, in the selection, we select the system is not bigger and more comprehensive system better, is the best fit. Be able to solve the main problems facing businesses, the system itself has good headroom to meet future demand planning for some time, that is very good for him. Remember: In the beginning, to ensure success, than after a failure who should bear the responsibility of looking good. ? At present, the Chinese furniture industry is in a period of rapid development, IT application market has become more mature, we can say that China's furniture industry is in a golden age of information technology, to seize the opportunity to use ERP to enhance the management level and productivity, will be able to ensure that large enterprises with foreign competition in an efficient and flexible advantage. I believe that, through the ERP selection, ERP furniture business there will be a more profound understanding of the power of information technology will help Chinese furniture enterprises to success, to the world!
