With the intensification of global economic integration and international competition, the printing industry is also facing fierce competition. Digital large-scale applications, shortened production cycles, increased print varieties and reduced print counts all make the management of printing companies feel tremendous pressure. Knowledge economy, network technology and informatization have formed great impacts and challenges on traditional management concepts and models. There is no doubt that if the current printing companies want to survive, only innovative management will have a way out. Therefore, it is imperative to establish a scientific printing enterprise management system.


First, Current management status of China's printing industry


At present, the management system of China's printing industry is in a period of transition. Although the printing industry management system has achieved informationization to varying degrees, the traditional management system still occupies a considerable proportion in the printing industry. The traditional management system has a low degree of informatization, mainly relying on its own resources to establish a competitive advantage, which constrains the company's vision and limits the innovative thinking, thus affecting the company's ability to adapt to market and operational vigor. Let's take a look at HC's basic report on the online survey of printing software. Subject of the survey: Has your factory used print management software (ERP)?


As can be seen from the above figure, most printing companies have realized the importance of information management and introduced printing management software to improve their competitive advantage. However, a few companies have not joined the ranks for various reasons. Come. For ERP, there is a very popular saying in the industry: "No ERP is waiting for death, and ERP is looking for death." For this reason, many companies are holding a wait-and-see attitude. This is actually due to the fact that ERP has not yet had a correct understanding.


Second, what is ERP


ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning means enterprise resource planning, which is an enterprise management software system for the processing and manufacturing industry to scientifically manage the material resources, capital resources, time resources and information resources of the enterprise. Implementing ERP is a means of business management revolution. ERP is a popular management information system. Since the 1940s, its development process has gone through the following three typical stages: 1.MRP - grasping the production stage, pursuing the guarantee supply; 2.MRPII - grasping the cost stage, pursuing high quality and low price ; 3. ERP - grasp the market stage, the pursuit of innovation and efficiency. Enterprise management informationization will enable enterprises to achieve all-round improvement in management ideas, management models, management methods, management mechanisms, management foundations, organizational structures, business processes, rules and regulations, and the quality of all employees through management innovation and business process reengineering. And improve, thereby improving the overall management level and competitiveness of enterprises, and accelerating the modernization process of enterprise management.


In fact, ERP brings huge economic benefits to printing companies. According to the American Society for Production and Inventory Control (APICS), using an ERP system can bring the following economic benefits to the enterprise on average:1Inventory decreased by 30%~50%; 2Deferred delivery decreased by 80%; 3Purchase lead time was shortened by 50%; 4Working stoppage decreased by 60%; 5Manufacturing cost decreased by 12%;6Management level increased, management personnel decreased by 10% The production capacity is increased by 10% to 15%.


Third, the implementation of ERP preparation


1. Change of concept

Most people who think that "the ERP is looking for death" failed to implement ERP. They did not fundamentally find the reason and blamed ERP on all failures. Some enterprises have been successful in applying ERP. Han Shaning, general manager of Nanjing Aide Company, introduced some experiences with ERP:


1.1 The process of enterprise management informationization is a gradual process, which requires a large amount of accumulation, including data accumulation, personnel training and standardization of management of all aspects of the company. It is very beneficial to implement IS09000. Implementing ERP is a high stage of enterprise management informationization.


1.2 The core position of the Ministry of Finance and Accounting in the process of enterprise management informationization: The company will be divided into three functions of different departments in different departments: data statistics, financial accounting, and computer management are managed by the Ministry of Finance and Accounting. It ensures the consistency and accuracy of internal and external data.


1.3 Enterprise management informationization is a process of full participation, especially the implementation of ERP, and many of its data comes from the statements and documents filled out by employees. The daily production report filled out by the production staff is a particularly important part. It is very important to fill in the specifications and correctness of the production daily report. It can dynamically reflect the production status of each process of the product; assist the production management personnel to do a good job in production scheduling; and the employee's attendance data as a reference for each other, to facilitate data verification. It can also guide the work of business personnel to meet the needs of customers; record the work performance of employees, and guide the issuance of piece-rate wages; provide reliable information for the "financial cost" accounting of sub-products.


1.4 Implementing enterprise management informationization must have a complete and standardized management system. It is necessary to pass 1S09000 certification. The guiding ideology, logic and management methods of IS09000 have created a good environment for enterprise management informationization and successful implementation of ERP, and provided necessary guarantees.


1.5 "Top Hand Project". Enterprise management informationization is a complex system engineering. It is not pure computer technology, but more importantly management. The primary factor in the success of the implementation is the support of the company's senior leadership. The "top leader" must personally coach and supervise, especially in the early stage of enterprise management informationization.


The successful implementation of Aide's ERP has brought a glimpse of the low-key ERP companies and proves that ERP is good for the printing industry. Of course, implementing ERP is a difficult process. Only by having a clear understanding of the concept can we better implement ERP.


2. Does the company have the ERP conditions?

Is the enterprise suitable for implementing ERP projects, or is it necessary to use ERP to manage it? This is the first thing companies must understand. Ling Changming, general manager of Shenzhen Kelian Computer Technology Co., Ltd. pointed out that before implementing ERP projects, enterprises must first understand the following questions: Do we really understand ERP? What are our motivations and goals for ERP? What is the basis of our management? Are our employees happy to accept changes? Do we have the necessary resources? Only by clarifying these issues can the enterprise not blindly implement ERP. ERP can indeed bring huge economic benefits to enterprises, but before the actual implementation, it depends on whether we are ready to implement ERP. A good management foundation is the key to implementing ERP and is a prerequisite for EPR to play its role. Most enterprises in China have poor management foundations, many places are not standardized, and a large number of BPR (business process reorganization) work is required to adapt to the needs of ERP.


Fourth, the introduction of domestic ERP software


In the international printing management software market, Germany has already taken the lead. Chinese printing companies are still unable to connect with the international market due to the backward management mechanism. Therefore, such software has not yet entered the Chinese market extensively. In the domestic printing management software market, the development and research of Peking University Founder, Shenzhen Kelian Computer Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Hejia Software Technology Co., Ltd. are relatively mature.


Peking University Founder has been involved in the digital management of printing enterprises since 1992 and has a history of nearly 10 years. In 2001, the Indo-Products Division was formally established, specializing in printing enterprise management research, management software development and management consulting, and digital management project implementation services. In the development of book printing enterprise management software has been relatively perfect, occupying a large share in the domestic publications market, but relatively weak in the development and research of packaging and printing enterprise management software. The "Fang Zhengquan" enterprise management system has been successfully applied to more than 20 domestic printing companies. So far, it has basically maintained a 100% success rate.


Shenzhen Kewang Company specializes in the development of packaging printing enterprise management software. Based on JIT, CRM, zero inventory, cost control, IS09000 and other advanced enterprise management concepts, the company's ERP system provides a comprehensive solution for the information management of China's printing enterprises based on its own characteristics. The whole system is divided into three main lines, namely: “production flow” with production management system as the core, “logistics” with inventory management system as the core, and “financial flow” with cost control system as the core. Each subsystem can operate independently, and can form a large system to operate in coordination, and the data between the subsystems is highly shared. Its ERP has ten advantages:


1 The perfect combination of the advanced management mode of Guangdong and Hong Kong and the actual production of enterprises.

2 ERP and IS09000 organic integration, quality assurance concept throughout.

3 Achieve a comprehensive planning mechanism with a focus on production planning.

4 “Cost accounting” takes the overall situation and successfully implements the “hourly cost” assessment plan.

5 help companies establish sound management standards.

6 Enhance the business competitiveness of the company.

7 Really play the management function of the finance department.

8 system design major.

9 development technology leadership.

10 products are easy to maintain.


Beijing Hejia's "Hejia ERP" printing industry edition adopts advanced foreign modern enterprise management theory and management methods, and fully considers the actual situation and specific conditions of the printing enterprise, which is both advanced and applicable. It can help enterprise managers to analyze and process a large number of dynamic and intricate data and information in the enterprise in a timely and accurate manner, and make advance planning, in-process control and post-event feedback on various production and operation activities of the enterprise to achieve reasonable Utilizing enterprise resources, reducing inventory, reducing capital occupation, enhancing enterprise resilience, and improving the market competitiveness and economic benefits of enterprises, enterprise management has truly entered the scientific management from experience management.


ERP is a challenge to China's traditional printing industry management thinking, injecting fresh blood into the printing industry that is struggling in the tide of the market economy. Although there are still many people who hold different views on ERP, the trend of information management in printing enterprises is unstoppable. ERP will usher in a bright future.
