Research Of ERP Project Implementation In A Group

The research object of this thesis A Group is a large Taiwan-funded LCD panel manufacturer. Due to the industrial transformation and upgrading, A Group implements the strategy of "integrated supply chain". The early IBM AS400information system is increasingly unable to satisfy information integration for the improvement of enterprise internal operation. Relevant industrial chains of A Group require corresponding concatenation of upstream and downstream information, so as to keep abreast of the market situation and cost information, thus making optimized decisions. The strategy adopted for the implementation of SAP system architecture project of A Group:based on the industry’s best process model of SAP accumulated over many years, considering the current operation demand of A Group, the system is appropriately adjusted to give full play to its functions. In addition, the operation process of A Group is standardized and extended to various branches of the group, thus achieving the strategic effect of group control and management and global layout. This thesis analyzes the necessity and feasibility of A Group’s adopting SAP system, introduces the functions and characteristics of SAP system, and combined with the group’s actual business process, management characteristics and strategic planning, indicates the technical feasibility, economic feasibility and operational feasibility for the implementation of this project. This thesis conducts full and detailed demonstration of the implementation method and process of SAP project, project blueprint planning and project management, especially that the first phase of A Group’s SAP project will adopt the "accelerated SAP" optimal methodology for construction and introduction of this system. The implementation of the project is divided into five stages. The first stage is project preparation, the second stage is enterprise business blueprint, the third stage is specific project implementation, the fourth stage is final preparation, and the fifth stage is system implementation and support. This thesis also analyzes in detail the benefits for the implementation of SAP in this group. The project solves a series of management problems of A Group, while economic benefits focus on sales, production, materials, financial cost management and other aspects. By upgrading the information platform, the powerful information integration function is presented, which can greatly realize standardization of operation process and standardization of data, providing strong competitive advantages for rapid cost accounting and efficient decision making by the management layer. Through study on the project implementation, this thesis summarizes the implementation and application of integrated supply chain for SAP project in the industrial transformation of the LCD panel industry, the key factors for the successful implementation of SAP project are summarized as senior managers’ attention, project planning, project preparation, project management, communication management, etc., which can be used by other enterprises for reference in implementation.
