ERP system is the abbreviation of EnterpriseResourcePlanning, which refers to a management platform based on information technology, integrating information technology and advanced management ideas, and providing decision-making means for enterprise employees and decision makers with systematic management ideas. It is a new generation of integrated management information system developed from MRP (Material Requirements Planning), which expands the functions of MRP and its core idea is supply chain management. It jumps out of the traditional enterprise boundary, optimizes enterprise resources from the scope of supply chain, optimizes the operation mode of modern enterprises, and embodies the market's requirements for enterprises to allocate resources reasonably. It plays an important role in improving business processes and enhancing the core competitiveness of enterprises. The shortage of talents in ERP industry has become one of the restrictive factors for the development of SAP. In view of this, the domestic ERP training industry has gradually begun to develop.
The introduction of ERP is a concern of many enterprises. Since 198 1, the application and popularization of MRPII/ERP in China has experienced nearly 20 years. According to incomplete statistics, about 700 enterprises in China have purchased or used this advanced management software. However, the effect of its application is very uneven, and there is a big gap between enterprises.
At present, the full development of the tertiary industry in China is a remarkable symbol of modern economic development. The financial industry has become the core of the modern economy, and the information industry has increasingly become the dominant of the modern economy, which objectively requires a new management software to adapt to it. Therefore, ERP has become the protagonist at this stage, and has extended its tentacles to various industries, especially the financial industry, communication industry, high-tech industry and retail industry in the tertiary industry. Thereby greatly expanding the application scope of ERP. For example, SAP, a well-known ERP software supplier in Germany, has launched solutions for many industries, including financial industry, high-tech industry, post and telecommunications industry and energy industry (electricity, oil and gas, coal industry, etc.). ), public utilities, commerce and retail, foreign trade, news publishing, consulting services, and even health care, hotels.
In addition, with the development of market economy, the original management methods of China enterprises have long been unable to meet the requirements of fierce competition. Enterprises are facing an increasingly fierce competitive environment, but ERP is gradually favored by enterprises because of its more functions. It can provide enterprises with the functions that MRP-II does not have, such as investment management, risk analysis, information integration of multinational and trans-regional groups, profit analysis, sales analysis, market forecast, decision-making information analysis, promotion and distribution, after-sales service and maintenance, total quality management, transportation management, human resource management, project management and the realization of e-commerce through the Internet. Enterprises can use these tools to expand the scope of business management, keep up with the changing market dynamics and attend international conferences.
For domestic ERP software with independent intellectual property rights, the brand effect is relatively large. Based on the upgraded customer base and strong market penetration, ERP system occupies a large share in China ERP market. This product is easy to be accepted by customers in the aspects of step-by-step implementation, openness of software structure and its interface, data conversion and so on. The software price and implementation cost are low, but there is a gap between it and foreign well-known ERP software in terms of perfect function, universality and maturity.
Therefore, to sum up, it is necessary for the enterprise personnel management system to meet the demand of ERP system as a formal unit. At present, China's economy is developing rapidly, and the company is constantly expanding, collectivizing and modernizing. This demand is still quite large.
