The Research And Application In ERP, SCM And Entropy Theory

This thesis introduces the origin, growth of the Enterprise Resources Planning from the view of computer technologies applications within the business administration. Along the progress of age, we face the issue that is lie in business administration and cooperation and in exterior horizontal management when using ERP system. After thoroughly analyzed the thought and content of Supply Chain Management, this thesis draw using SCM to compensate the lack of the horizontal management function of the chain of supply in ERP, and give the detailed analysis and research of the combination with SCM in ERP. Especially, through analyzed the strategy, content, requirement of purchasing management combining SCM with in ERP, we give the detailed and deep analysis and research of suppliers management combination with SCM in ERP from the four aspects included suppliers development, suppliers evaluation and selection, suppliers union and the suppliers performance management. Then this paper focuses on the module of evaluation and selection to suppliers, which is the most important module in suppliers management system. Based on the concept and characteristic of entropy, to quantize and combine the inherent information in every scheme waited for selection and the subjective information of policymaker's experience judgment, then set up the model of evaluation and selection to suppliers based on entropy that used the basic principle of the right coefficient law of entropy. And based on the analysis of the requirements for the suppliers selection evaluation system, a realizable strategy of the decision support system for suppliers selection is proposed in this paper. Finally, the core business processes of quality management, process ability analysis and Statistical Process Control are implemented using Power Builder 8.0 and Sybase Adaptive Enterprise Server 11.5 database.
