Research And Implementation For BPR-based ERP

With the advent of the knowledge-based economy and the accelerating process of global economic integration, the environment of enterprises is undergoing profound changes. The development of enterprises is seriously constrained by the traditional managements. Customers, competition and changes drive enterprises to put efforts to reengineer business flow and improve management. It is shown that the implementation of ERP will enable enterprises to maintain flexible and to improve its core competitiveness. With the development of technology and manufacturing industry, ERP have been implemented more extensively, and are playing an increasingly important role in the enterprises, but in the meantime, there still exist many issues. On one hand, the weak infrastructure of information technology constrains the rapid development of manufacturing enterprise; on the other hand, the lack of self-criticism attitude to diagnose business flow fails to prepare for the successful implementation of ERP.First, this paper elaborates on theory of ERP and BPR respectively, and analyzes the characteristics of ERP and BPR. Then we integrate the advantages of these two theories in implementation in the production and supply chain management. A framework of BPR based ERP implementation is proposed by theoretic and empirical research on ERP implementation in Group B, a discrete manufacturing industry. From the angle of enterprise, this paper researches on implementation for ERP as a type of continuous and correlative behaviors, and then proposes an effective method of implementation ERP, and discusses the way to further improve the success rate of ERP. Finally, this paper summarizes the framework for BPR based ERP implementation in the discrete manufacturing enterprises.
