ERP management system is a collection of material resources management, human resource management, financial resource management, information resource management integration of enterprise management software, it integrates all internal resources of the enterprise, procurement, production, cost, inventory, distribution, transportation, finance, human resources planning, so as to achieve the best resource combination, to achieve the best benefits.In this increasingly information-based era, ERP management system, as an excellent enterprise management platform, can not only provide comprehensive logistics solutions, optimize and monitor the entire production process of enterprises, but also provide powerful accounting, analysis and control functions for the cost management field of enterprises.So what are the main functions of the Z-ERP management system?

1. What are the main functions of the ERP management system?

First of all to tell you about the role of ERP management system:

受制于人民币升值.劳动力成本上升.原材料涨价.退税率调整.贸易摩擦加剧等多种因素影响，我国中小型外贸企业面临内忧外患的困境。面临现状，只有选择更加科学的管理方法，利用信息化的外贸管理软件和其他信息化手段，加强内部组织建设，提升企业自身的控制水平，才能在困境中突围。

Here are some of the main features:

1. A strategic management system that supports the overall development strategy of an enterprise

The goal of the system is to establish a strategic management system in the changeable market environment which is suitable for the overall development strategy of the enterprise. To be specific, it is to realize the strategic information system connecting Intranet and Internet, to perfect the decision support service system, to provide decision makers with all-round information support, and to perfect the human resource development and management system, to be both market-oriented and focus on training the existing staff within the enterprise.

2. Realize the global marketing strategy and integrated marketing

This is an extension of the marketing strategy.The goal is to achieve information integration and management integration in market planning, advertising strategy, price strategy, service, sales, distribution, forecasting, etc., so as to smoothly implement the business policy based on "customer eternal satisfaction", establish and improve the enterprise business risk early warning mechanism and risk management system, carry out regular marketing and product development, production integration evaluation work, optimize the logistics system of the enterprise, and realize integrated sales chain management.

3. Improve the cost management mechanism of the enterprise and establish a comprehensive cost management system

At present, the environment of our country's enterprises can be said to be an imperfect competition market environment, the price still occupies an important position in the competition. The function and goal of this part of ERP is to establish and maintain the cost advantage of enterprise, which is guaranteed by enterprise cost leading strategy system and overall cost management system.

4. Apply new technology development and engineering design management mode

An important goal of ERP is to provide customers with satisfactory products and services through continuous improvement of all departments of the system.From this point of view, ERP is committed to building the core technical system of the enterprise, establishing and improving the hierarchical control mechanism between the development and control system, realizing the top-down and bottom-up technical coordination mechanism, and using the Internet to achieve good information communication between the enterprise and the outside world.

5. Establish an agile logistics management system

The core of ERP is MRPII, and the core of MRPII is MRP. Many enterprises exist in the supply chain affect the flexibility of enterprise production situation. An important goal of ERP is to establish an agile logistics management system based on MRP, which can solve the bottleneck of new product launch-poor supply flexibility and shorten the production preparation cycle, increase timely interaction with external partners on technology and production information, improve on-site management methods, and shorten critical material supply cycle.

Second, whether the ERP project has been successfully implemented

The success of an ERP project should be understood and evaluated in three stages:

The first stage:

Whether the enterprise chooses a suitable ERP software is the prerequisite for the success of ERP.Some enterprises are not cautious enough in software selection, and have little understanding of the development tools, running platforms, product functions, etc. used in the software, and as a result, blindly implement, and only find some defects and inapplicability in the product during the implementation process, which is often difficult to make up, which directly leads to the failure of the project.

Stage 2:

Whether the enterprise has successfully implemented ERP.Now enterprises have such a vague understanding that after the ERP project is implemented, it is considered a success.We believe that the implementation of ERP by enterprises is a strategic development need and a long-term investment.Some functional modules of ERP may reflect the benefits in the short term, such as the benefits brought by the application of the price comparison procurement management module can be reflected within half a year or even one month.But the overall competitiveness of a company, it may take a year for the company to show up, or even longer.Therefore, the implementation of ERP does not mean that ERP has been successfully applied.

Stage 3:

ERP can really bring benefits to the enterprise. This can be clearly reflected in the enterprise application of ERP one or two years later, the direct economic benefits and indirect economic benefits of growth is obvious, and this benefit on the enterprise is far-reaching impact. This long-term perspective is necessary for business managers.

From the above three general stages, the implementation of ERP can achieve these effects, basically can be regarded as a successful implementation, but in the final analysis, the system is only a tool, talent is fundamental, carefully summarize the rules, learn lessons, in order to reduce detours, efficiency can be greatly improved!
