2、;p>　　When enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations fail to deliver, it's usually because management hasn't taken the time to structure the organization to take advantage of these systems.</p>

3、<p>　　R.Michael Donovan</p><p>　　Many companies have spent fortunes on enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and implementation, only to find that business performance has not improved at all. The

4、se large investments and negative ROIs have created a whirlpool of controversy and rampant company politics. Even annual reports have pointed the finger at ERP for lower-than-expected earnings. For some, this has created

5、 a higher level of fear about making a big ERP mistake. </p><p>　　Much of the time, ERP software vendors are the targets for the blame when anticipated results do not materialize. Are the ERP vendors that so

6、ld the software the real culprits for the lack of business performance improvement? The answer is, not very often. Certainly, it can often be argued that ERP system logic is sometimes illogical, functionality is missing,

7、 functions perform poorly, and so on. But accountability for ERP software selection and implementation usually lies to varying degrees with</p><p>　　Selecting and implementing a new ERP system, and the proce

8、ss changes that go with it, is unquestionably a complex undertaking. Regardless of your size and perceived resources, an ERP implementation is not something that should be approached without a great deal of careful plann

9、ing. Among companies that have been through a less-than-successful ERP implementation, five reasons for poor results show up consistently: </p><p>　　Operating strategy did not drive business process design a

10、nd deployment.</p><p>　　The implementation took much longer than expected. </p><p>　　Pre-implementation preparation activities were done poorly, if at all. </p><p>　　People were not

11、 well-prepared to accept and operate with the new system. </p><p>　　The cost to implement was much greater than anticipated. </p><p>　　How can your organization avoid some of these costly mistak

12、es? Here are some guidelines to help you with ERP success. </p><p>　　· Re-think your company's business processes. </p><p>　　Management is getting its hoped-for results from ERP less of

13、ten than not, and this begs an explanation for ERP's often-poor performance. What many organizations fail to realize is that extensive supply chain improvement requires that management begin to re-define its business

14、 in terms of strategic opportunities. The purpose of ERP technology is to support the business processes that support the company's strategic opportunities. </p><p>　　There are some basic tenets of ERP t

15、hat should guide management's action and decisions. </p><p>　　Bear in mind that there is no magic in ERP software. ERP's benefits are a direct result of effective preparation, implementation, and app

16、ropriate use. This seems obvious, but nine out of ten companies don't get it right the first time around. Expecting a quick fix, silver-bullet solution is a dangerous mindset. </p><p>　　Realize that no a

17、mount of advanced information technology can offset the problem of a flawed business strategy and poorly performing business processes. This area, in particular, is something that ERP software implementers may not fully

18、address because it can slow business deployment. </p><p>　　Define a business strategy that will give you a competitive advantage. At the very least, ensure that your business strategy makes you competitively

19、 equal. Then analyze your current business processes and develop your objectives. Once this step is done, the following steps for preparation, ERP software selection and implementation can support your strategic and proc

20、ess objectives better. </p><p>　　Acquire flexible ERP information technology that can accommodate rapidly changing business conditions. The high-velocity flow of information needed to support action up and d

21、own the supply chain is a major step forward for most companies. It will be mandatory in the future just to compete, much less stay ahead of the competition. </p><p>　　Have the implementation led by a senior

22、 executive who has the authority to make changes happen - and happen quickly. Ensure there is a sense of urgency and true accountability for completing preparation and implementation activities on time. </p><p

23、>　　Moving away from functional silos and creating effective cross-functional processes that are truly integrated via the ERP system is not an easy task. When ERP is not fully integrated into day-to-day business operat

24、ions, however, it is not likely to be very beneficial. </p><p>　　If enterprise integration or more advanced supply chain management strategies are to have any chance of complete success, it will be due to a

25、large extent, to the removal of traditional cross-functional barriers. These silos comprise the organizational boundaries where information flow and communication stop. You must ask, "How will we use the ERP system?

26、" Some not-so-obvious issues will surface as you try to answer that question. For example, will you combine demand-based flow and lean manufact</p><p>　　Focus on your business strategy and not just on s

27、oftware selection and implementation. Many problems are reinforced by contradictory objectives and performance measures that actually create inconsistent value and belief systems - to the company's detriment. No amou

28、nt of I.T. will correct these problems. Management must remove them once and for all through business process redesign. </p><p>　　· Assess your organization's skills. </p><p>　　Companie

29、s often plunge into ERP less than fully informed, with limited knowledge of what to expect. Often there is a misconception that the skills needed to select and implement ERP already exist in the organization. That may be

30、 partly true, but few organizations have the skills they need to implement ERP effectively within a reasonable time frame. Consultants may be able to fill some of the skills gaps, but given the high risk involved, it'

31、;s important to ensure they're truly qualified. </p><p>　　Another overlooked area is the use of information technology change. Often the I.T. infrastructure changes required to implement a new ERP system

32、 are not given the high priority these technology issues deserve. Certainly, implementing ERP should be driven by business issues, not technology. But it is I.T.'s understanding and skills that support the technology

33、 which, in turn, improves business processes. </p><p>　　Ignoring the preparation and education new technology requires is asking for trouble. Furthermore, I.T. personnel often must make the technology transi

34、tion quickly. If the technology and infrastructure transition is not done well, the project, at the very least, will be delayed. </p><p>　　One of the biggest problems with implementing ERP is misunderstandin

35、g what ERP is all about and underestimating what it takes to implement it effectively. </p><p>　　Companies need a well-thought out, comprehensive process to help plan, guide, and control the entire ERP imple

36、mentation effort. Starting an implementation with an undocumented, untailored, skimpy, or implementation methodology is an open invitation to disaster or, best case, a long, drawn-out implementation. </p><p>

37、;　　Everyone - from the boardroom to the stockroom - needs to understand his role and responsibilities for implementation. Implementation leaders should encourage dialogue to get people focused on business objectives and

38、early identification and correction of any problems. Who will be accountable for results, and when, must be an integral part of this understanding. </p><p>　　An implementation that's going astray becomes

39、 recognizable when repeated schedule slippages surface. As time moves on, the schedule problems start affecting implementation quality as the almost inevitable response is to begin taking shortcuts and bypass critical bu

40、siness issues. The slam-and cram method of an ERP software transplant is now in high in gear. </p><p>　　· Be wary of selecting ERP software. </p><p>　　Before the nitty-gritty of software se

41、lection begins, it is a good idea for management to know how current strategy, processes, and supporting systems compare to what they could be with the new system. In fact, this discovery process should be performed ever

42、y couple of years so management will know where the company is, compared to a previous stake in the ground. This is a basis from which to evaluate opportunities. </p><p>　　Many people avoid examining strateg

43、y and business processes and jump right into looking at software functions and features. Some software vendors encourage this because they want to move you along quickly in the sales cycle and get you closer to licensing

44、 their product. Be particularly wary of so-called "proof-of-concept" offers in which the vendor implements its software at your site and offers various guarantees. This practice adds confusion to the software s

45、election process, especially for th</p><p>　　Start defining software needs by examining current processes that govern your flow of information and material throughout the order-to-delivery process and ultima

46、tely, the entire supply chain. There is a common tendency to make a shortcut in this very important activity, but you will pay - sometimes dearly - in time and money for avoiding this essential step. </p><p>

47、;　　Evaluating and selecting ERP software is a complex task. It should be a fact-based process that brings you to a point where you can make a comfortable, well-informed decision. It requires an objective and comprehensiv

48、e methodology to guide you through the selection process. This does not mean you should use voluminous pre-determined questionnaires that do not recognize your specific needs. Rather, it means your evaluation and selecti

49、on process should be based on your own strategy and business pr</p><p>　　At some companies, management is so preoccupied with other seemingly more important activities that ERP is delegated completely to the

50、 I.T. department. The idea that this is strictly a technology project because software is involved is wrong and, in fact, is one of the leading causes of ERP failure. The I.T. function is not well-positioned to evaluate

51、the business implications of various trade-offs or to determine their impact on day-to-day operating results versus strategic intent. Certainly, t</p><p>　　Once an ERP system has been selected, it is rare fo

52、r a company to cut its losses and scrap the project until many years have passed. The political fallout is often the biggest obstacle. No one wants to tell upper management that an ERP investment of thousands of dollars

53、was a mistake and the process should be re-started. When a company lives for many years with poor ERP decision and implementation, however, the costs continue to escalate and the benefits do not come. The cost of lost op

54、portunity</p><p>　　The clean-sheet-of-paper approach, although alluring in concept, has been a big bust for many companies. The clean-sheet business process redesign and the subsequent ERP system configurati

55、on is complex, costly, and time-consuming. Consequently, most companies have come to accept the compromises and trade-offs that industry-specific, best-practice templates require. Pre-configured templates allow faster sy

87、的困擾，尤其是對初試者。顯然，ERP軟件賣商忙于銷售他們的產(chǎn)品，并讓他們最優(yōu)秀的員工來處理銷售環(huán)節(jié)從而給貴公司介紹解決各種難題的方法。</p><p>　　通過分析目前用于管理信息流程與原材料的軟件，確定貫穿從接受訂單到發(fā)貨的整個過程最終到整個供應(yīng)鏈上的軟件需求?，F(xiàn)在有一個趨勢就是在這種非常重要的活動中采取捷徑，但你必須付出-有時代價還會很高-在資金和時間方面都要阻止這一步。</p><p&g

88、t;　　評估與挑選ERP軟件是一個非常復雜的任務(wù)。這是一個基于事實的過程，會讓您知道如何做出一個挑選過程中，這并不是指你應(yīng)合適的考慮周到的決定。這個過程需要客觀的并且是綜合的方法來指引你選擇。這并不意味你需要要大量的未包括你的特殊需求的未定的調(diào)查問卷。相反，它意味著您的評估和挑選過程需要基于策略和商業(yè)過程模式。一個廣泛包括計劃，引導和掌控效率的方法可以帶來省下大批資金，更別提最重要的利潤了：避免巨大的錯誤。</p><

89、;p>　　在一些公司，管理和其他一些類似的重要的活動同樣有著主導作用以致于ERP完全被應(yīng)用于IT行業(yè)。認為軟件包含在IT行業(yè)中所以認為軟件嚴格上來說是技術(shù)的觀點是錯誤的，事實上，這就是導致ERP失敗的最主要的原因。 不管是評估各種權(quán)衡取舍的決策對業(yè)務(wù)的影響，還是確定它們對日常運營結(jié)果與戰(zhàn)略意圖的影響，IT都不是一個合適的部門。當然，這也不是說運營決策就是高級運營經(jīng)理的職責，而沒有IT部門什么事。</p>&

90、lt;p>　　一旦確定了使用某種ERP系統(tǒng)，知道很多年以后公司才會去減少成本或是撤除這個項目。仕途上的顧忌往往是最大的障礙。誰也不想告訴主管上千美元對ERP的投資是一個錯誤，而且必須重新開始這個項目。如果多年來企業(yè)一直默默承受這個糟糕的ERP決策及其實施所帶來的不良后果，然而成本不斷的上升，但不見效益。錯失時機所付出的代價是巨大的。ERP軟件的研究，評估和選擇的過程必須要順利的進行從而將風險降到最低。</p><

91、;p>　　"一張白紙，從零開始"的方法，盡管在說法上很有吸引力，但這是很多公司犯下的大錯誤。 如果根據(jù)這種方法進行業(yè)務(wù)流程的再設(shè)計以及隨后的ERP系統(tǒng)配置，企業(yè)將面臨很多復雜的工序，并且要投入很高的成本以及相當長的時間。結(jié)果，為了選擇符合行業(yè)特征的、最佳實踐型的軟件模塊，大多數(shù)公司都不得不接受折衷方案、做出讓步。如果采用預(yù)先設(shè)置好的模塊，不僅整個系統(tǒng)的配置過程會加速，企業(yè)獲取ERP成效的日子也會提前。這也不是說

92、只是將預(yù)先設(shè)置好的配制過程胡亂的實施。相反，被選擇的模版配置要依據(jù)合適度來進行調(diào)整，至少在要實施之前。</p><p>　　要求快點實施ERP實施的呼聲很高，這是對實用模板進行設(shè)計和簡化軟件的個性化程序進行發(fā)展的最首要的動力。但是對于模板，配合最好的實施可以推進商業(yè)過程的技能的發(fā)揮。從表面上來說，這樣很完美，但是很少的企業(yè)愿意花費時間重新思考他們該如何運作自己的業(yè)務(wù)。通過采取捷徑，這些公司獲得了ERP系統(tǒng)的功能，

93、但是這些功能都很普通。</p><p><b>　　四、為成功做計劃 </b></p><p>　　要想一次成功地實施ERP系統(tǒng)需要有結(jié)構(gòu)的方法，包括策略，人和集中的過程。這是有效管理風險的惟一辦法。一套完善的方法會考慮到項目實施中方方面面的基礎(chǔ)性事物，但是，如果有意外情況突然發(fā)生，你就會有所準備，不會讓它產(chǎn)生嚴重的后果。普遍存在的問題是還沒有讓貴公司的員工做好準備使

94、用新的程序支持系統(tǒng)。結(jié)果是引發(fā)各種失敗，事實上這是可以避免的。在你準備購買和安裝ERP軟件之前要先評估你要運作的業(yè)務(wù)策略和ERP計劃。第一次就做好是確保企業(yè)獲利的最有效的方式，許多實施失敗的人都后悔當初沒有停下來對自己實施方向進行估。</p><p>　　下面的問題不能代表所有可能的意外事故。但是對于激發(fā)思維和引發(fā)討論會很有幫助。</p><p>　　● 我們想怎樣運作我們的業(yè)務(wù)？● 有

95、哪些業(yè)務(wù)問題需要解決？ ● 我們是否清楚我們應(yīng)該優(yōu)先做的事情是什么？● 我們是否充分理解我們的現(xiàn)狀，以及我們應(yīng)該達到的狀態(tài)？● 我們是否已經(jīng)為實施預(yù)先設(shè)置做好了詳細的計劃?！?我們在什么時候完成什么任務(wù)？● 我們現(xiàn)在的系統(tǒng)中和我們選擇的軟件中還有什么樣的缺失？● 真正需要的成本是多少？利潤怎樣?時間進度又是怎樣？● 在高層當中有沒有一個ERP的擁護者可以為上層管理提供必要的聯(lián)系？ ● 誰將實施并操作ERP軟件？</

96、p><p>　　事實上，ERP以及供應(yīng)鏈管理系統(tǒng)的實施是永遠都不可能結(jié)束的項目，畢竟，供應(yīng)鏈是企業(yè)生命線的一部分。對于準備充分的企業(yè)而言，基于ERP的新的供應(yīng)鏈的管理系統(tǒng)有著意義重大的競爭力。</p><p>　　ERP項目的實施對于參與ERP項目實施的人來說能成為一個轉(zhuǎn)變思維的體驗。如果企業(yè)能遵循一套正確的方法就能大大增加實施ERP一次性成功的機率。然而，這并不能保證你取得項目的成功。只有你
