What non-standard issues can ERP solve for enterprises?
ERP integrates information technology and advanced management concepts, and has become the cornerstone of enterprise survival and development in the information age. The use of ERP can optimize internal resource allocation, accelerate enterprise decision-making speed, improve overall work efficiency, reduce redundant processes and labor costs. Do you know what non-standard problems ERP can solve for enterprises? Below, Shuntong Network editor will introduce this issue to you.
ERP can solve the following non-standard problems in enterprises:
1. Unclear inventory
Entering the warehouse and looking around, I only saw a mountain of materials piled up, and the warehouse management personnel couldn't distinguish the names and quantities of materials. This is because there are many types of materials in the factory, with different names. The production department takes the production instruction form to collect materials, but the warehouse finds that this material is not available and asks the procurement department to purchase it. However, there is still a lot of this material in the warehouse, and these phenomena lead to a backlog of inventory. Because no one can accurately know the inventory, procurement personnel cannot timely understand the accurate information of the warehouse and cannot deduct the inventory in a timely manner. However, ERP can solve this problem. ERP requires a monthly settlement every month. After completing the monthly settlement, the system will clearly tell each department how much inventory of each material was in the previous month, how much was in and out this month, and how much is left. All kinds of data can be displayed one by one in front of everyone.
2. Difficulty in processing procurement data
The procurement manager needs to input the data of each purchaser into Excel every month for easy statistics. This type of typing work is quite time-consuming and takes a long time to compile the data into Excel. They also have to worry about computer poisoning issues. However, ERP can solve this problem by timely collecting data from various operators. By the end of the month, regardless of the time you want to see which operator's procurement situation or the entire department's procurement situation, it can be viewed in just a few minutes.
3. Blind production, making products with incoming materials before they arrive
In traditional production management, most people blindly produce products with incoming materials before they arrive. However, even though the delivery date is approaching, the materials still cannot arrive on schedule. In the end, the delivery date has arrived, and the products cannot be delivered on schedule. The only option is air freight, which adds huge costs. However, the warehouse is filled with products that have not yet reached the delivery date, and the warehouse personnel are struggling to keep these goods safe. This phenomenon is even more prominent in shoe factories. When their shoes are shipped, the buckles are rusted and the leather is moldy, causing huge losses to the company. The reason for this phenomenon is unplanned production. Through ERP, a complete set of production plans can be made to efficiently and timely supply products, reduce inventory, and achieve scientific production.
4. The process is not smooth
The various processes in traditional manufacturing are manually operated, which is highly arbitrary and prone to blockages. However, ERP can solve this problem because it connects various departments together, linking them together and solidifying the company's business processes into ERP, achieving standardization of processes. When the ERP system is finally in operation, personnel from various departments cannot follow the process, because if the previous stage of work is not done well, the next stage will not be able to operate. This is why ERP can organize factory processes.
5. Unclear responsibility
Many manufacturing enterprise managers, seeing that the company's efficiency cannot be improved, are busy with the supervision work of various departments all day long, but they always cannot find out which link has gone wrong. The executives can only sigh and say that the company's processes are too chaotic to be sorted out. However, ERP can solve this problem because it is interconnected, linking various departments together. If one link is not done properly, the next link cannot proceed, which reflects the responsible attitude of personnel in each department towards work. It is easy for managers to identify problems when the next department is unable to work after the previous department has started working.
The above information about which non-standard problems ERP can solve for enterprises is shared here. ERP integrates all internal resources of enterprises, including production, cost, inventory, distribution, transportation, finance, and human resource planning, thereby achieving good resource organization and achieving good benefits.
