兩分鐘讓你明白什麼是ERP！  -  簡單有趣地解釋什麼是ERP.

ERP(EnterpriseResourcePlanning)企業資源計劃系統，是指建立在信息技術基礎上，以系統化的管理思想，為企業決策層及員工提供決策運行手段的管理平台。

一天中午，丈夫在外给家里打电话：“亲爱的老婆，晚上我想带几个同事回家吃饭可以吗？” (订货意向)一天中午，丈夫在外給家裡打電話：“親愛的老婆，晚上我想帶幾個同事回家吃飯可以嗎？”(訂貨意向)

妻子：“当然可以，来几个人，几点来，想吃什么菜？”妻子：“當然可以，來幾個人，幾點來，想吃什麼菜？”

丈夫：“6个人，我们7点左右回来，准备些酒、烤鸭、番茄炒蛋、凉菜、蛋花汤……。你看可吗？” (商务沟通)丈夫：“6個人，我們7點左右回來，準備些酒、烤鴨、番茄炒蛋、涼菜、蛋花湯……。你看可嗎？”(商務溝通)

妻子：“没问题，我会准备好的。” (订单确认)妻子：“沒問題，我會準備好的。”(訂單確認)

妻子记录下需要做的菜单 (MPS计划) ，具体要准备的东西：鸭、酒、番茄、鸡蛋、调料…… (BOM物料清单) ，发现需要：1只鸭蛋，5瓶酒，4个鸡蛋…… (BOM展开) ，炒蛋需要6个鸡蛋，蛋花汤需要4个鸡蛋 (共用物料) 。妻子記錄下需要做的菜單(MPS計劃)，具體要準備的東西：鴨、酒、番茄、雞蛋、調料……(BOM物料清單)，發現需要：1隻鴨蛋，5瓶酒，4個雞蛋……(BOM展開)，炒蛋需要6個雞蛋，蛋花湯需要4個雞蛋(共用物料)。

打开冰箱一看 (库房) ，只剩下2个鸡蛋 (缺料) 。打開冰箱一看(庫房)，只剩下2個雞蛋(缺料)。

来到自由市场，妻子：“请问鸡蛋怎么卖？” (采购询价)來到自由市場，妻子：“請問雞蛋怎麼賣？”(採購詢價)

小贩：“1个1元，半打5元，1打9.5元。”小販：“1個1元，半打5元，1打9.5元。”

妻子：“我只需要8个，但这次买1打。” (经济批量采购)妻子：“我只需要8個，但這次買1打。”(經濟批量採購)

妻子：“这有一个坏的，换一个。” (验收、退料、换料)妻子：“這有一個壞的，換一個。”(驗收、退料、換料)

回到家中，准备洗采、切菜、炒菜…… (工艺线路) ，厨房中有燃气灶、微波炉、电饭煲…… (工作中心) 。回到家中，準備洗採、切菜、炒菜……(工藝線路)，廚房中有燃氣灶、微波爐、電飯煲……(工作中心)。

妻子发现拨鸭毛最费时间 (瓶颈工序，关键工艺路线) ，用微波炉自己做烤鸭可能来不及 (产能不足) ，于是阅览室在楼下的餐厅里买现成的 (产品委外) 。妻子發現撥鴨毛最費時間(瓶頸工序，關鍵工藝路線)，用微波爐自己做烤鴨可能來不及(產能不足)，於是閱覽室在樓下的餐廳裡買現成的(產品委外)。

“好的，你们想吃什么，爸爸晚上也有客人，你愿意和他们一起吃吗？” “好的，你們想吃什麼，爸爸晚上也有客人，你願意和他們一起吃嗎？”

“菜你看着办吧，但一定要有番茄炒鸡蛋，我们不和大人一起吃，6：30左右回来。” (不能并单处理) “菜你看著辦吧，但一定要有番茄炒雞蛋，我們不和大人一起吃，6：30左右回來。”(不能並單處理)

“好的，肯定让你们满意。” (订单确定) “好的，肯定讓你們滿意。”(訂單確定)

“鸡蛋又不购了，打电话叫小店送来。” (紧急采购) “雞蛋又不購了，打電話叫小店送來。”(緊急採購)

“不好意思，送货的人已经走了，可能是堵车吧，马上就会到的。” “不好意思，送貨的人已經走了，可能是堵車吧，馬上就會到的。”

门铃响了。門鈴響了。

“李太太，这是您要的烤鸭。请在单上签一个字。” (验收、入库、转应付账款) “李太太，這是您要的烤鴨。請在單上簽一個字。”(驗收、入庫、轉應付賬款)

“不行呀，女儿，今天妈已经需要准备两桌饭了，时间实在是来不及，真的非常抱歉，下次早点说，一定给你们准备好。” (哈哈，这就是ERP的使用局限，要有稳定的外部环境，要有一个起码的提前期) 。 “不行呀，女兒，今天媽已經需要準備兩桌飯了，時間實在是來不及，真的非常抱歉，下次早點說，一定給你們準備好。”(哈哈，這就是ERP的使用局限，要有穩定的外部環境，要有一個起碼的提前期)。

丈夫：“家里你做主，需要什么你就去办吧。” (通过审核)丈夫：“家裡你做主，需要什麼你就去辦吧。”(通過審核)

妻子：“还有，最近家里花销太大，用你的私房钱来补贴一下，好吗？” (最后就是应收货款的催要)妻子：“還有，最近家里花銷太大，用你的私房錢來補貼一下，好嗎？”(最後就是應收貨款的催要)

现在还有人不理解ERP吗？現在還有人不理解ERP嗎？ 记住，每一个合格的家庭主妇都是生产厂长的有力竞争者。記住，每一個合格的家庭主婦都是生產廠長的有力競爭者。

( Hey Boss! These are not Toys! )

Tags: Ms Messenger , Google Family, XnView , Gliffy , FileZilla , Jing , Open Office , GIMP 

Ms Messenger (or MSN)
Yes. This is for sure the no.1 free stuff used in office. Messenger is now essentially used in office. Instead on phone, you can now process 3 orders at the same time without invalid item no.

Google Family - Search, Map, GMail,  Doc, Calendar, Picasa,  and even YouTube.
Yes. Even YouTube. More and More company use YouTube as their media for user manual.

XnView - File viewer
You can even read illustrator (*.ai) files from this program. If you read *.ai files checkout this forum page. ( Fine tuning: Resolution : Tools > Options, Category “General > Read/Write”, Tab “Read” > EPS/PS/AI/PDF”. Change 72dpi to 300dpi )

Gliffy - Drawing Diagrams
More simple than MS VISIO, it can draw network diagrams, floor plan, organization charts, etc.

FileZilla - Copying file from / to FTP Server
Copying files from an FTP is easy. Most of web browser will do the job. But copying files to an FTP may need help from this software.

Jing - Print Screen or Capture your Screen as movie
90% used for technical, or tutorial purposes.  One of my client use this to teach others how to use Tradelink.

GIMP - Photoshop replacement
Like Open Office, very time GIMP have a new version, Adobe will make a patch on their file format, so that you cannot 100% open PSD files. But you can save a GIMP file into PSD.

Open Office - MS Office replacement
Well, as Google doc go more and more powerful. Not much user now.

After installing ( or re-installing ) a Window, some more basic functions are needed. ( as for anti-virus, PDF, data compression, and web browser. ) There are a handful of free software that fits everyone.

What? You found stuff better than these? Leave a comment please!

Tags: AVG , BitDefender, avast!, Adobe Reader , Cute PDF, 7 Zip, FireFox, Chrome, Allway Sync

Anti-virus - AVG , BitDefender, or avast!
anti-virus program guarding your PC ( Remember to do update after installed )

PDF Tools - Adobe Reader , Cute PDF
Reading & Making PDF File on your PC

Data Compression - 7 Zip
opening or making a compressed file

Web Browser -FireFox, Chrome
well, u need at least one browser for backup ( when the I.E. broken down )
( btw, Chrome still have little problems. Not ready for power user. >”< )

file and folder synchronization - Allway Sync ‘n’ Go
Backup, synchronization your Files between PC & USB / External Drive.
The Free License of the software is for 20,000 files/30days.  There is a software called Goodsync which is similar but not that powerful.

N.B.

1. most of the about software should also be found in www.download.com.
2. make sure to select the right language before starting download.
