Preface
Could not be more traditional in the traditional manufacturing industry, cost and efficiency has been considered the cornerstone of business survival. And improve efficiency, reduce costs naturally become entrepreneurs sought-after goal.
The emergence of ERP lit a light of hope. People have driven his chariot of information - carding process, recycling management ... ... a great extension to plow Central Plains trend. However, after several storms, the Sha Yu crashed out of those ten to.
In the eyes of the cuisine has become a hot potato. ", The court death; not on, waiting to die" - information that people seem to set up an inextricable dilemma.
Today, an ordinary small and medium enterprises, a manufacturing latecomers, a car industry, "special forces" but in just a few months, activate this Road puzzling information of Council.
Recently, Jining City in Shandong Province "held in Jining City Manufacturing Information Forum," on a little-known small and medium enterprises have become a focus of attention. It is the Special Purpose Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Shandong Dongyue. At the meeting, Dong Yue Automotive successful experience in the implementation of ERP has become the center of one topic. 300 a person, however, only 100 million yuan of assets of SMEs, is how in a short time, winning in six months, so thousands of people dreaming of this Gordian Council do? In order to further reveal the success of Dong Yue Automotive ERP implementation tips, the author of the Special Purpose Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Shandong Dongyue conducted field interviews, hoping to find out.
Special Purpose Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Shandong Dongyue, located in the southwest hinterland, the North China Plain and the Middle and South Mountain transition zone of Jining City, Jining municipal government in 1992 approved the establishment of the period of 10 state-owned medium-sized enterprises. High-tech companies located in Jining City, Development Zone, covers an area of 50,000 square meters, construction area of 15,000 square meters. December 1999, Nanjing municipal government approved the economic way of assets transferred into the 111 key enterprises of Shandong Province Group - British Clay Group Co., Ltd. Shandong, the wholly owned subsidiary of the British Clay Group.
Dongyue company is a special type modified car production-based automobile manufacturers, automobile industry called the "special forces." The company's main products are semi-trailer, dump truck, van, tank truck, other types of special vehicles such as five series over 100 varieties, officially entered the 1998 National Automotive Products catalog. Existing assets 128.36 million yuan, including fixed assets of 12 million yuan. At present, more than 200 employees, 98 officers are graduates from colleges, professional and technical personnel 71 people, including 7 senior engineers, 14 intermediate grade, Shandong Province, southwest regional Special Purpose Vehicle backbone enterprises.
In 1998, Dong Yue Automotive Science and Technology Commission of Shandong Province is named "high-tech enterprise in Shandong Province", and was adopted by China Import and Export Certification of ISO9001 quality system certification. 2001 sales of various special purpose vehicles 1798, sales income 214 million yuan, 6.85 million yuan in profits and taxes. 2002 sales of various special purpose vehicles 2900, sales income 318 million yuan, 7.38 million yuan in profits and taxes. Dong Yue Automotive across the country has good visibility, credibility and reputation. The per capita economic indicators in the nation forefront of the industry.
Moderate size, business Dongyue car in good condition, why would "risk" prerelease ERP this hot potato? Dong Yue Zhang Yang, general manager of training vehicle answer is: not a question of do it or not ERP, but that there is no demand, there is a demand to do it, do not not do.
The two companies within the modified car disease
And other industry peers, as in Dong Yue Motors, cost management has been the most important issue facing enterprises.
Modified car industry is a very competitive industry, most of the Custom Shop products in China mainly concentrated in the semi-trailer, van, dump truck, etc., the low technological content of products, competition, profit margins small. Therefore, the cost of control for the increased profit margins, enhance market competitiveness of products play a critical role.
But the modified car industry customer demand for personalized products is very strong, often need to improve standard products, the product is not stereotyped, complex structural changes. Such as bulk cement truck, the original is a single tank of standard products, but needs the user double-cabin, this pipe, roof, tank bed and other assembly or body parts to be redesigned. Therefore, manufacturers will not advance the production conversion products, but according to order requirement for production purposes. Therefore, in material goods production, outsourcing, especially outsourcing amount of processed material goods control demanding, less inadequate, and more wasted. However, in order to ensure that orders are usually still have to buy some more material goods.
As the complex structure of modified car products, materials and more, only a semi-trailer had more than 700 pieces of material goods, but most of them personalized strong material goods, can not form the bulk of production economies of scale, so most materials are purchased or taken outside the factory to the professional way of co-production, to reduce production costs and equipment operational risk. As a result, almost a kind of a product structure, material data (BOM) are different, so addition of raw materials, the business of purchasing parts, outsourcing parts, made a small piece of the bulk requirements have been made redundant procurement or zero parts may be sluggish in the medium and long term storage, curing funds, indirectly increase the cost, but also greatly increased the pressure on stocks.
In addition to costs outside the operating efficiency of enterprises is also Dongyue car be solved a big problem.
With the increasingly fierce market competition, the user of the product quality and delivery of higher demands, a semi-trailer of the production cycle has been shortened to ten days before the two years of the current seven days, therefore, required R & D, data conversion, material procurement, production orders, inspection and a series of work cycles must be shortened accordingly. As the production cycle is short, the complementary products that require high, so they requested data more quickly deliver product design to production, inventory, financial sector, to guide the production, outsourcing, procurement, project leader assigned material costs and cycle statistics.
Not only that, due to increasing pressure of market competition, thinner profit cycle, therefore, the cost of the accounting cycle is directly related to the accuracy of orders and profits of the enterprise. However, due to Dong Yue Automotive in data storage, statistics have been using manual mode, the efficiency is very low. Until accurate data out of order already fly. With past experience is often only a rough estimate, the result is sometimes done and we have to find a money-losing proposition.
Faced with these problems, Zhang Yang and training that they have seriously affected the operation of a business, not conducive to the development of enterprise management. As a young company can not do so in accordance with traditional management methods, we must continue to introduce new ideas, new methods, new models. Information is an inevitable trend, with waiting, not as good as first. To this end, Zhang Yang and training determined to do the first person to eat crab.
"Special forces" to the Board
In fact, early in 2000, Dong Yue Automotive already begun on the internal structure of the network construction, and in the financial sector was computer management; also in product design and development department has also accomplished the CAD design. However, from CAD design to the list of materials showing up again to adopt the production process takes a long time. Not only that, the product production process, slow transmission of information, redundant procurement serious, work efficiency Di, data statistics Buzhun Que, materials Pin problem Consuming Lang Fei Ye is Tu Chu Tai Deng.
To this end, Zhang Yang and training around to watch, wide consultation, conducted on the ERP serious study. In 2002, Zhang Yang participated in training organized by the State Economic and Trade Commission information technology training courses, listened to many companies in Harbin, the experience and results of ERP applications, which greatly encouraged by the overall implementation of the ERP Zhang confidence. Came back, he has made with local business associations contacted by their support. Meanwhile, Dong Yue Automotive decision to implement the ERP has been fully affirmed Jining City, which further strengthened Zhang Yang Dong Yue Automotive training in the full implementation of ERP determination.
June 2002, Dong Yue with the "old partnership" - software e-commerce service providers Network Co., Ltd. Jining Golden one pair of domestic provider of ERP products and the products were studied. After a period of argument, they agreed that the UF's U8M more appropriate products.
General Zhang said: "We choose to focus on the main products of domestic manufacturers who, because of domestic firms to domestic enterprises management ideas and management a better understanding of the establishment of more applicable to a product, but product price is relatively UFIDA appropriate. Of course, one of the most important thing is to continue the service capabilities. If you went out of business a few years, that companies need for further development of the software, then the big corporate losses. UF to do for so many years down, the service was good, Haier why the success? Lenovo Why successful? Is service, so I chose UF value is service. It is in these three conditions we have chosen UFIDA. "
Eventually, the Dong Yue Automotive chose UF U8.50 version of ERP products, and thus began to incoming information.
Network Solutions Gold Council
Dong Yue in the early research, we clearly see that many enterprises are detrimental to the implementation of ERP, one of the most critical problem is that rushing into mass action, useful, useless to say on the first result, many premature program hindered the process of the project. Therefore, Zhang and early in the implementation of the project clear: Dongyue car ERP projects do not anxious to do first a mature one, piece of functionality can be achieved on the place first, over time, and application of another mature do, then CAD, financial software through the network and block the progressive link. Gradual, step by step moving forward.
To this end, responsible for undertaking Dong Yue Automotive UFIDA and ERP software implementation of the project of Jining City, payment network service provider company, began to dissolve Dong Yue Automotive Information Bureau of the journey.
In the implementation process, Kim Dong Yue Automotive Network company business processes carried out and the UF U8.50 version of ERP software into the operating system Dongyue car. As Kim Dong Yue Automotive net operating company is very understanding, therefore, the project is progressing well.
After several months of installation and commissioning and basic database development, debugging finished UFIDA ERP products into trial operation.
However, the project drew to a close, an unexpected problem arises.
According to Kim, general manager of network Mengliang recalled: "ERP software and other general-purpose application software is different for each ERP enterprise management software with the idea of not 100% fit, is seeking common ground while reserving differences on minor ones. Although management thinking mode, the UF's software has set the foreign advanced management ideas and solutions to the domestic industry, the culmination of many, but is not 100% fit. Car project in Dong Yue, Dong Yue Automotive original product design CAD software and UFIDA ERP software interface issues. Is a typical example. This is not an ERP solution itself can be resolved through the secondary development. "
To this end, gold-net quickly organize manpower, Interface issues for secondary development, and successful docking software. Dong Yue Automotive information so as to dissolve the Council.
Zhang Yang Xun collapsed
As an IT veteran said: ERP system easy to build, application difficult. ERP project is a typical "number one" project, missed a lot of companies are missing here.
Dong Yue Automotive ERP project implementation in the early stages of training on Zhang Yang met with the resistance, some leading cadres of the necessity of the implementation of ERP questioned some employees to change their existing way of working for and implementation of standardized operating procedures are not feeling well, so , the number of ideas and some resistance.
In the face of resistance, Zhang did not always an anxious two did not back down, but a lot of ideological work. General Zhang said: "The enterprise information requires more than just products, but more importantly a person's conceptual change. Dongyue company's success mainly due to its tight control of project construction and the correct understanding of ERP systems. ERP is a system management projects. To do a good job, we must first solve the problem of ideological problems, at this point is very clear. Of course, in the course of project construction, we must give full play to "top leader" role, for the implementation of the resistance, must be mandatory by top leaders in the can continue. Have thought so, you can give everyone some time to think, to experience. Figured out and then dry, not understand the changing of the guard. "
"Of course, the implementation of ERP, a number of procedures may be more complex than the original, arbitrary nor so big before. It should be said from the management on a more standardized and more rigorous. Past, each time the materiel is very loose, on the ERP, the computer will show you how much the leader, would like to receive no good. Therefore, some employees started not meet, but we have been insisting to do so. Over time, the effect began to unravel. "
Changing ideas in the staff, while Zhang and also attaches great importance to good training. General Zhang said: "to attach importance to training, which is not limited to the ERP training in its use, more importantly, is to let employees know and understand from the whole ERP, really knows the ERP to the enterprise and even individual employees bring Yu benefits to employees to use ERP systems to improve the initiative. In addition, making a good incentive regulations relevant facts of the business information is crucial. "
In the ERP project implementation, Zhang Yang Xun withstood all the pressure and resistance were in the end insist ERP, demonstrating an innovative entrepreneur strong confidence and determination. It is this conviction finally Dongyue car broke the deadlock information to the project in Dong Yue Automotive ERP implementation success.
Dong Yue Automotive bureau
After more than three months of implementation and commissioning, ERP Dongyue the official launch of the car. After on-line ERP system demonstrated its enormous economic and management efficiency.
It describes the design department, the company UFIDA ERP implementation, the design and production data to achieve a seamless connection. In the past, the product design CAD data generated bill of materials (BOM) will take a long time. Now design a semi-trailer more than 700 required the use of materials data, only 3 minutes automatically generated BOM. Moreover, the production sector from the BOM generate the necessary material requirements planning and procurement, outsourcing, production of that one, and only 7 minutes. One used to be one or two days to complete the work, now only 10 minutes to complete.
According to the Treasury Manager introduced on the UF ERP system, inventory management to achieve real-time management, and monitoring. The original three libraries and becomes a library. Stock up to a thousand kinds of material, in the original manual state, the warehouse inventory only once a year, each requires 3 for 3 days. Today, the Treasury changed to monthly inventory, a person needs only one day, but accuracy is also greatly improved. Not only that, once out of production plans, the Treasury will know immediately what needs enough material goods purchased, produced or outsourcing, which is expected to have material goods depot. Thus, not only to avoid duplication of procurement, and also enhance the reaction rate, while also making a significant reduction in the total stock of inventory, reducing the funds being occupied.
Similarly, there is a deep experience of the production department managers. After the implementation of ERP, Dong Yue Automotive in the management process more standardized. Departments, task goals and responsibilities between the clear division of The Who's Who is responsible for fighting the case less clear. Moreover, by standard management, chaos lead materials, material phenomena are not overpaid, and production efficiency has improved, only this one would cost up to 20%. According to Dong Yue Automotive sales to the current operator, saved nearly one million a month.
For the sales department, and equally benefited. A salesperson told the author, and now, short production cycle, shorter delivery time also, the advantages of contention in the orders clear. Moreover, the cost accounting timely and accurate. An order down, just basic data entry system, will soon be able to calculate the cost, no longer relying on experience to estimate. After this period of practice, increase profits significantly.
Through the UF ERP project implementation, Dong Yue Automotive overall initially for the construction of the information. General Zhang said that innovation is not enough, in the future, we will through the information management of our internal standardization and change management and continuous improvement and improved constantly updated. In this way enable us to continuously improve the business growing.
