1. Generally speaking, there are two text forms and two graphic forms, which are classified according to the same transformation of various industries.

ERP- Enterprise Resource Planning System refers to a systematic management idea based on information technology, which provides a management platform for enterprise decision makers and employees. ERP system integrates information technology and advanced management ideas into modern enterprise operation mode, which embodies the requirements of the times for enterprises to rationally allocate resources and greatly create social wealth, and has become the cornerstone for enterprises to survive and develop in the information age.

We gradually define it from three levels: management thought, software products and management system:

1. A set of enterprise management system standards put forward by GarterGroupInc, a famous American computer technology consulting and evaluation group, has developed into a supply chain-oriented management idea on the basis of MRPII(ResourcesPlanning).

2. The comprehensive application of client/server system, relational database structure, object-oriented technology, graphical user interface, the fourth generation language (4GL), network communication and other information industries has become the soul software product of ERP management thought;

3. An enterprise resource management system that integrates enterprise management concepts, business processes, basic data, human and material resources, computer software and hardware.

Specifically, the relationship between ERP and enterprise resources, the role of ERP and the development of information technology are as follows:

1. Enterprise resources and ERP

Factory buildings, production lines, processing equipment, testing equipment, transportation tools, etc. They are all enterprise hardware resources, human resources, management, reputation, financing ability, organizational structure and employee's labor enthusiasm. Some resources interact to form enterprises to carry out production activities, complete customer orders, create social wealth, realize the value base of enterprises, and reflect their competitive development status.

The management object of ERP system is to make use of the above resources and production factors through ERP, so that the production process of enterprises can complete customer orders in time and with high quality, give full play to the role of some resources, and make resource adjustment decisions according to customer orders and production conditions.

2. Adjust the use of enterprise resources

An important symbol of enterprise development is the rational adjustment and utilization of the above resources. Without modern management tools like ERP, the situation and adjustment direction of enterprise resources are clear. It is quite difficult to make adjustment arrangements. The adjustment process will be quite long. The organizational structure of enterprises can only be pyramid-shaped, and the cooperation between departments is weak. It is difficult to grasp and adjust the operation of resources. The development of information technology is specially designed for enterprise resource management. ERP system is designed to solve some problems, and its successful implementation will make enterprises make better use of resources.

3. The development process of information technology in resource management.

The development of computer technology, especially database technology, and the establishment of enterprise management information system even play an important role in the transformation of management ideas. The development of management ideas and information technology are interrelated, and practice has proved that information technology plays an increasingly important role in enterprise management.

The application of information technology in the initial management is also very simple, mainly to record some data for easy query and summary. Now, the development and establishment of a transnational cross-enterprise operation system based on the global Internet is divided into the following stages:

A.MIS system stage (management information system)

Enterprise information management system mainly records a large number of original data, and supports the work of query and summary.

B.MRP stage (material requirements planning)

Enterprise information management system manages product portfolio. With the help of computer computing ability and system management ability, customer orders, warehouse materials and product composition are realized. According to the customer order and product structure list, the material demand plan can be formulated and calculated to achieve the purpose of reducing inventory and optimizing inventory management.

C.MRP stage (manufacturer resource planning)

On the basis of MRP management system, the system has increased the management of enterprise production center, processing hours, production capacity and other aspects, realized the production scheduling function of computer, and also included the financial function. Enterprises have formed a closed-loop management system with computers as the core, which has been able to dynamically monitor the whole production process of production, supply and sales.

D.ERP phase (enterprise resource planning)

Entering the ERP stage, the enterprise-level management system with computer core is more mature. The system has added functions including financial forecasting, production capacity, resource scheduling adjustment, etc., and cooperated with enterprises to realize just-in-time management, quality management, production resource scheduling management and auxiliary decision-making functions, thus becoming a platform tool for enterprises to carry out production management and decision-making.

E. ERP in the era of e-commerce

With the maturity of internet technology, enterprise information management system has increased the ability to share information and exchange data directly with customers or suppliers, thus strengthening the relationship between enterprises, forming a survival chain, embodying the supply chain management idea of enterprise survival and competition, and enabling decision makers and business departments to realize cross-enterprise joint operation.

Thus, the application of ERP can effectively promote the modernization and scientificity of existing enterprise management, adapt to the increasingly fierce competition and market requirements, and the introduction of ERP has become the general trend.
