Integrated management of processing performed for each department

“Accounting”, “Human Resources”, “Production”, “Logistics”, “Sales” that form the basis of corporate activities.

These controls were usually processed by individual databases, depending on the system introduced for each Department.

Because there are many differences in the information and processing methods required by the department.

However, if you look at the flow of the entire business of the enterprise, all these individual activities eventually link each other.

And finally it has to be consolidated into accounting work.
For this reason, it has been necessary to re-enter payroll information of personnel management,

purchase / sales information of sales

management and the like separately into accounting processing,

or to reflect the order situation in sales management to the production control system by artificial operation, etc. ,

An extra effort was required to deliver data between departments.

Then, mistakes are likely to occur in the meantime. ERP has appeared in such a way how to coordinate the operation management of disagreeably and to operate efficiently.

ERP is an acronym for Enterprise Resources Planning, and if literally translated it means resource consolidation management plan.

There is a production management method called Materials Requirements Planning (MRP)

originally in Business Administration, but the term ERP is derived from it, and the system itself is said to have appeared in the West in the latter half of the 1990s.

Resources here means corporate funds, materials, human resources, information, logistics, and so on.

In other words, ERP is a system for efficiently managing each data by integrating management processes that have been separately performed such as “accounting”, “personnel” “production” “distribution” “sales” in corporate activities It was developed as.

By centralized management of information, purpose of use is diversified

However, it was not only good at first. Since ERP developed in Europe and the United States is hard to fit business practices of Japanese companies, at the early stage of ERP,

there were not many companies to introduce in Japan.

In addition, there are a variety of industries, there is no ERP package that can respond quickly.

It is necessary to develop systems according to the environment of each industry type,

which seems to have been a bottleneck in the spread of ERP in Japan.

Currently, however, these problems are almost solved.

The domestically produced ERP has also been developed in various forms, and adding options and add-ons to the base system makes it possible to quickly introduce various industries.
In particular, the big advantage of ERP is that it centrally manages information within the enterprise.

This means that you can instantaneously collect all the information in the company in one place,

so ERP has a great power in terms of business analysis, building management strategies, visualizing management.

Evolution of ERP has no place to stay. Various types fitted to each industry and each business are appearing due to the growing needs of SMEs and other ERPs, which was once a large-scale general-purpose system for large companies.

Due to the evolution of the Internet environment in recent years, provision by SaaS (Software as a Service) type etc.

has also begun, and choices of introduction continue to increase.

In addition, we expect to have further evolution in the future, such as strengthening correspondence to the cloud and multi-device.

It is no longer true that it is no longer true that ERP is regarded only as a system responsible for improving the efficiency of collaboration between departments, which is reminiscent from the designation “integrated core business package”.

The usage form spreads in many directions, and it is the current ERP that is sublimating to a solution system that supports corporate quick decision-making and business execution.
