ERP system functions:
1, workshop scheduling
First of all, it is very important for an enterprise to manufacture, what is the manufacturing process and how to arrange production in the workshop. After all, some enterprises have dozens of products, so there are many corresponding processes, and these can be managed quickly within the ERP system.
For example, in an ERP system, the workflow and production cycle of each product can be set. When there is a new sales order, you can quickly make production arrangements such as working procedure and construction period in the system directly according to the order, which greatly improves the efficiency of workshop scheduling.
2. Procurement of raw materials
For manufacturing enterprises, raw material procurement is a major event. At this time, what raw materials are needed for manufacturing, whether to adopt joint procurement or exclusive procurement, and the choice of buyers when purchasing are all important matters.
In the ERP system, there is a buyer qualification audit mechanism. When the buyer does not meet the requirements of the enterprise, the system will prompt. At the same time, it can also classify the buyers who have passed the audit mechanism to ensure that the procurement protects the interests of enterprises as much as possible.
3. Inventory early warning
For enterprises, the procurement work does not just start after the order is issued. In fact, when the inventory is insufficient, it is also necessary to purchase goods. The purchase arrangement made by combining sales orders with inventory safety is scientific and reasonable, which requires the manufacturing ERP system to be sensitive to inventory control.
In the manufacturing ERP system, there is an inventory early warning mechanism. When the inventory is lower than the safety reserve, the system will remind the enterprise to purchase. Enterprises can set up the safety reserve of inventory according to their needs. At the same time, it is not easy to purchase too much, because the warehouse is also expensive. At this time, the maximum inventory can be set in the system to avoid the waste of warehouse materials. When it exceeds the maximum limit, the system will automatically remind the enterprise to stop purchasing. Through the inventory early warning mechanism, enterprises can help enterprises avoid wasting resources and effectively protect their interests.
4. Sales management
For manufacturing enterprises, although workshop scheduling, purchasing and inventory management are very important, all business motives of manufacturing enterprises are based on sales orders. Therefore, for a scientific and reasonable manufacturing ERP system, sales management is necessary.
In the ERP management system, customer information can be managed and retrieved quickly. At the same time, telephone, email, SMS and other customer follow-up methods can be realized conveniently and quickly in the system, which avoids switching back and forth between platforms and saves valuable time for sales. Moreover, the negotiation progress of sales staff can be seen and commented by superior leaders in detail in the system, which ensures that sales staff can follow up customers scientifically and reasonably.
At the same time, for a healthy enterprise, daily office management, such as finance and human resources, is even more essential, which is what the manufacturing ERP system should do, and the statistical analysis function of each module greatly facilitates the statistical analysis work of various departments.
The main functions of ERP:
(1) provides an integrated information system to share business data and information.
(2) Straighten out and standardize business processes, eliminate duplication of work in business processing, and realize standardization and standardization of business processing, so as to strengthen the basic work of enterprise management and further ensure the quality of work.
(3) The system automatically completes data processing, which greatly improves the accuracy and timeliness, reduces the work intensity, liberates enterprise managers from tedious transaction processing, spends more time studying the problems existing in business processes, and studies and applies modern management science to improve management, thus promoting the wide application of modern management science in enterprises.
(4) Strengthen internal control, make the work control clear and timely, reflect the problems in each link at any time, and provide the data needed for performance evaluation.
(5) Through the application of the system, the business of each department is automatically coordinated, so that the resources of the enterprise can be planned and used in a unified way, the inventory can be reduced, and the capital turnover speed can be accelerated. All departments work together as a team and are integrated.
(6) To help decision-making, the company's decision-making layer can obtain the dynamic business data of the enterprise and the simulation function of the erp enterprise management system in time to help make correct decisions.
The functions and main functions of ERP system are introduced above. For a healthy enterprise, daily office management, such as finance and human resources, is necessary. Other management functions are realized by manufacturing ERP system, and then the statistical analysis function of each module, which greatly facilitates the statistical analysis work of various departments.
