Furniture Enterprise Improves Management and Practices ERP Scientific Management

Since the second half of 2011, the furniture industry as a whole has been in a downturn. From the outside, the overall world economic situation is bleak. The European debt crisis, the US debt crisis and Japan’s economic crisis have let the illusion of relying on foreign trade to stimulate China’s economic growth premature And China's domestic demand is gradually showing signs of shrinking, and the country's regulation of the real estate market, these policies are even worse, in this case, how can Chinese furniture companies survive this bad year?

The answer is: either switch to furniture, or strengthen internal training and improve management.

There are many ways to refine internal work, such as strengthening the cost management system, improving the terminal sales management, improving the performance appraisal management system, and comprehensively strengthening the information management. The introduction of ERP is one of the choices of many furniture companies. ERP is a system that integrates all the resources of the enterprise and integrates the three major processes (information flow, logistics, capital flow) of the enterprise into a comprehensive and integrated management system, which can reduce inventory, control production costs, shorten product cycle and improve product quality. And other goals, in the context of economic globalization and networking, ERP is a key means for furniture companies to ensure the effective operation of their daily business and management.

From the practice of the ERP project of the furniture enterprise that the author implemented before, the advantage of using the ERP system to implement internal control is:

(1) The internal control can be implemented in the entire business scope by using the ERP system. The ERP system is a platform with relatively complete implementation of internal control. The ERP system can take measures for all aspects of business management and management, and achieve comprehensive control over people, finances and materials, thus avoiding the need for enterprises to use multiple platforms to implement internal control. Insufficient.

(2) The internal control can be implemented in the full business process by using the ERP system. The ERP system is also a platform for business process control. Before the business occurs, the system control decomposes the overall goal of the enterprise into specific control items and clear control standards, and implements them to the corresponding responsible units or responsible persons; when the business occurs, the business operation control automatically rejects the non-compliant operating steps. Compare the actual situation with the planned objectives, veto business operations that do not meet the objectives, or submit to the authority for decision-making. After the business occurs, the data analysis control can automatically check whether the balance and balance of the internal and external data meet the specified logical relationship, and submit the abnormal situation to the relevant monitoring department in time, and periodically compare the actual performance of the enterprise with the planned target.

(3) The ERP system can make up for the defects of manual control. On the one hand, information processing and transmission through computers and networks can greatly improve work efficiency; on the other hand, through software system implementation control, it can overcome the interference of human factors, and be meticulous and unselfish. At the same time, since the system can leave traces of each operation, it is also possible to re-supervise the internal control personnel.

(4) Implementing internal control with ERP system is efficient and efficient. The unified platform constructed by ERP system provides convenience for the extraction, transmission and verification of internal control data and improves work efficiency. The unified operation process and quantitative control objectives allow managers to judge objectively and directly at the control point, and the operability is enhanced. The entire operation process is open and fair, and errors or fraud can be seen at a glance and well documented.

Although furniture is considered to be a low-threshold industry, after the threshold has entered, it is not easy to go every step of the way. The furniture market is now experiencing the stage of big waves, the survival of the fittest, the growth of the wise, the first change and innovation is the only way out.
