ERP's role in Spring in March, the annual event also kicked off the furniture exhibition, various companies are gearing up to actively prepare, fight to get more orders at a trade show, in order to fully in the limited time and space creative expression, showing corporate image, branding, exhibitor booths and booth decoration on the choice tends to "Costly" to increase investment. According to statistics, some well-known companies first exhibition expenses less than one million yuan, save the point they have to spend 50 to 60 million, and the general cost of exhibitors will be in the 20 to 300,000 yuan from top to bottom, in this I do not object to the furniture business investment in this area, but the proposed business owners, improve the internal management of the more important in the long road to strengthen internal management is the healthy development of enterprises. Export-oriented enterprises, I think we all felt, Chinese furniture enterprises in the future will face a more difficult situation than in previous years - specifically described as "five mountains" of oppression. First, the continued appreciation of the yuan, will allow the export of furniture products reducing profit margins; Second, the government will gradually reduce and abolish export tax rebates, lower trade surplus, but also to reduce the profitability of furniture exports; Third, furniture The main raw material products (wood, sheet metal, paint, packaging materials, hardware, etc.) prices will increase the cost of production of furniture products; Fourth, with the implementation of national policies, such as the implementation of the new "Labor Law" minimum wage workers improve, is the furniture industry, labor-intensive labor costs will continue to increase; and finally, the United States, Europe and other countries of trade protectionism, for furniture products to increase the intensity of anti-dumping, enterprise development increasingly the more difficult. But mainly to the domestic furniture companies will be able to feel the intense competition among peers, materials, labor costs caused tremendous pressure on businesses. Furniture companies face an increasingly competitive market counterparts, production efficiency, product quality, service, cost of production, product innovation capability, and many put forward higher requirements, each company felt the existing enterprise management approach has been more to the more serious challenge. Such as using the traditional manual management, due to the characteristics of the furniture industry, making the production and inventory management has been a problem, specifications, many varieties of raw materials and semi-finished products can not timely, accurate records and tracking, but the source and cost lookalike phase different materials failed to clear management and analysis, resulting in a number of flaws logistics information. Growing business, corporate business volume and a sharp increase in the amount of information, the traditional management model constrained company personnel, financial, and material resources utilization and the company complex external environment adaptability, it is difficult to meet the competition. As a traditional furniture manufacturing industry, China is by far one of the most market-oriented industry, product upgrading is accelerating, competition is increasingly fierce. How accurate, fast, thoughtful, detailed response to customer proofing, quotes, delivery, production, shipping, installation, additional documents, customer complaints and other information in order to win the customer-oriented services in a competitive environment, the advantages? How to improve material utilization in the case of irregular material to reduce costs? How from the source, purchasing patterns, reduce inventory management, reduce sluggish products, improve inventory turnover rate to accelerate cash flow? How to shorten the production cycle, delivery cycle to gain market advantage? How to improve operational efficiency and provide more accurate information for service providers, in order to gain advantage in the supply chain? How to improve processes to reduce errors, reduce problems, streamline communication? ...... These solutions have to rely headache ERP. According to the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) statistics show that the use of an ERP system, the average can bring economic benefits to the enterprise as follows: stocks fell by 30% to 50%, 80% reduction in delayed delivery, procurement lead time reduced by 50 % downtime should be reduced by 60% to reduce manufacturing costs by 12%, improve the management level, managers reduced by 10%, the production capacity increased by 10% to 15%, average productivity increase of 25% to 40%, reduced by 50% to 90 overtime %. These extremely brilliant figure of a furniture business, and not only low cost means huge profits, while its best to bring the intangible social benefits are also a considerable fortune. ERP is nothing unattainable things, plainly, ERP is an advanced management ideas, management tools for enterprise-related business aided management. Logistics, capital flow, information flow three main aspects of scientific and effective management, curing processes, improve efficiency, provide data analysis to facilitate management decisions. Integration of various categories of resources, especially the logistics to achieve computerized operating system, in order to reduce inventory, shorten the production cycle, there are figures base analysis and performance management to reduce costs, improve productivity, provide customers with more efficient and more comprehensive services, Bing lay a solid foundation for the growth of enterprises. ERP effects, the benefits, I believe we have to understand by many media, but why there are still many furniture companies are still waiting to see, it has yet to start the ERP project? According to the author found in a large number of visits in the furniture industry, the main reason for this phenomenon is that some of the furniture industry had previously implemented locally generic ERP modules, such as: financial module, or financial + Invoicing, but the results are not ideal, did not reach the expected results, the other part has not been on ERP ERP furniture companies see the success rate is not high, but also fear, did not dare want to go in on a wait state. Furniture manufacturing company is the production-oriented enterprises, the main cost of the product but also the cost of production, financial and inventory data should be based on the needs of production or that are produced as a source of data, if only financial or Invoicing software, a drawback is that the raw data sharing can not be achieved, another drawback is that only the production of the raw data (typically manual data) input to the computer, because the production of data, rather than the department's data, and is entered manually , fallible, errors caused by incorrect data entry results, not only for the decision-making does not benefit, but the adverse consequences. Therefore, when the furniture industry ERP, should the "overall planning, step by step, pain first," that is to fix the production and management issues, in order to truly reflect the role of ERP to. Of course, in order to ensure the success rate on the line, choose a professional ERP is a prerequisite for the furniture industry, the furniture industry for ERP business management requirements and specific circumstances "tailored" management software, which is characterized by only focusing on the furniture industry, and for furniture many difficulties in the industry to provide effective information management solutions, and in the furniture industry has a lot of success stories. Be able to provide a comprehensive solution for the furniture industry. Finally, the furniture industry bosses ERP should be seen as a long-term investment rather than a cost, and wish to find really suitable for the furniture industry's own ERP!
