How to set implementation goals for enterprise application ERP system?

This may be the mentality of many state-owned enterprises when they start to select. There are also some private enterprises on ERP is from customer pressure, such as order satisfaction, new product development, etc., and some enterprises on ERP is to declare the best project funding, or out of tax avoidance considerations. And when you ask them why they want to go to the ERP system, their caliber is surprisingly consistent:

ERP is to improve management and reduce costs. Is that really the case? The demand motivation of enterprise informatization, or the real purpose of the boss to spend money on informatization, determines the selection of ERP and the effect of implementation.

Why do we need to engage in informatization, and if we don't do it, will we do it? What problems can informatization solve for enterprises, what problems can not be solved, whether the current stage of enterprise development is suitable for informatization, where is informatization placed in the company, whether the team and culture can support the development of informatization work, and the risk is in the first place, these should be thought out before selection.

Although the decision-making of private enterprises is very arbitrary, there is nothing that the boss decides to do that cannot be done, and the reason why the boss does not make up his mind to do it is because the priority of this work is not high, and it is not to the point where it cannot be done.

Selection will undoubtedly consume a lot of time and energy from both parties, enterprises usually have business to be busy, it is impossible to put too much energy on ERP, ERP is an important but not urgent thing for most enterprises. Many bosses pay lip service to ERP projects, but they can't implement them, probably because they haven't sorted out their ideas and haven't realized the value of informatization. Project managers need to learn to set and manage the expectations of their bosses, otherwise it will be thankless even if they are on informatization.

In the process of ERP project implementation, research is an indispensable link, but it is also a great knowledge for everyone to do.

First of all, is it the research of ERP implementation or ERP product development? If it is a product development research, the purpose is to fully tap customer needs, and get the management value that customer needs can bring, and show this management value in the form of products. If it is a research on ERP implementation, then at this time it should be based on the research of "quota delivery", because the focus at this time is to launch the ERP project as soon as possible and run the customer's system, which is constrained by the premise of scope and cost.

In terms of general projects, there are project process management, project cost control, project resource balance, etc., which need to be solved by ERP.
