JIABEI Group large-scale ERP

In today's business world the market shifts constantly and competition is fierce. Every company has to keep looking for better ways to operate and manage — raising operating efficiency and productivity, lowering operating costs, keeping its competitive edge, and outdoing its rivals. A successful enterprise of reasonable maturity needs the following:

Fully computerized, systematized, and simplified handling of company business processes Product data is stored in a database, and quotations, sales contracts, stock-level checks, and delivery notes are issued automatically. The computerized accounting management system issues invoices to customers automatically and sends monthly statements to customers on schedule showing how many days payment is overdue; it also provides letter-of-credit balance control and automatically generates letter-of-credit alert reports.

Computerized procurement and inventory departments Stock levels are checked automatically against what each order requires, the quantity to reorder is calculated, and the unit prices and quantities of similar goods ordered in the past are displayed to help negotiate with suppliers. The system helps issue purchase orders and tracks delivery dates automatically, raising an alert if there is a delay. The inventory system sets upper and lower stock alerts to prevent overstocking or shortages.

Computerized production management A database of products and of the components each product requires (BOM) lets the system calculate product costs accurately for each period as component costs change. Based on orders, production capacity, procurement, and inventory material status, it automatically analyzes and lists the most suitable and most cost-effective production plan, issues workshop orders, material requisitions, and subcontracting orders for each production line, monitors the progress of every line in full, integrates closely with the costing system, and automatically analyzes production cost data and produces reports.

Computerized accounting and financial management Management can obtain profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and management accounts (management A/C) at any time, along with real-time detailed data and analysis reports for every line item within them. The parent company and its branches can exchange data in real time over the internet or dedicated lines, and management can review the finances, operating performance, sales, production status, and inventory of every department at head office and every regional branch, plant, and warehouse in real time, with analysis reports generated automatically.

Computer technology in the human resources department Personnel records, recruitment and attendance, training, and performance appraisals are systematized and stored in computer databases, analysis reports can be retrieved at any time, and expenses such as salary, commission, and Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) contributions are calculated automatically.

Information resource sharing and office automation An intranet is set up within the company, letting staff in every department pass messages and instructions to each other quickly through the integrated management system, keep on top of how the business is developing, and share designated files and data according to their level — making for a paperless, modern office.

E-business in the company Using e-business technology for online promotion, direct online sales, and online procurement delivers the advantages of low-cost expansion and highly efficient growth.

JB ERP makes combined use of traditional, proven development models and leading-edge technology. Taking into account the special nature of ERP business processing, it keeps cutting-edge technology from drifting away from the realities of ERP business, so that JB ERP is rooted in both proven stability and advanced technology, with the two bringing out the best in each other.

Core JB ERP business processing uses a traditional C/S structure; the JB ERP Work Center messaging system uses a standard three-tier/n-tier structure; and the JB ERP e-commerce system uses the popular Browser–Web Server model. The main structure is stable, robust, fast, and convenient, with good scalability. The JB ERP e-commerce system helps companies raise the efficiency of internal remote business processing, enable direct transactions between enterprises, and build a customer-centered market strategy; the system adopts IBM's total web solution. JB ERP is built on large databases such as MS SQL Server , Sybase, and integrates the technical strengths of all parties; together with the special nature of ERP software business, this contributes to the system's maturity, stability, and scalability.

The transaction server technology unique to JB ERP lets companies define their own workflow processes based on how their business actually flows — for example, custom approval flows or message broadcast paths. The transaction server supports automatic routing at every stage: taking document approval as an example, once an operator submits an approval request, the transaction server delivers it automatically to the first approver; when the first-level approver has finished, the system delivers it automatically to the next approver, and so on until the approval process ends. At the same time, the result of every action is synchronized to both the applicant and the approver.

The JB ERP system provides comprehensive logging technology, covering everything from user sign-in logs to every specific operation detail — BOM changes, document modifications, approval history, material data changes, and so on. All of it is kept in detailed log records, a capable assistant for managing a large ERP system.

JB ERP takes full account of the regional spread of its users and their language habits. Users can select the language they are familiar with in the system, and the system interface and prompt messages switch to that language accordingly; introducing multiple languages has no effect on system performance.

The distinctive language features of the JB ERP product support the use of multilingual versions of JB ERP on a single database, which reduces the computing resources, time, and money invested in training, implementation, and support for a new system.

The JB ERP product can connect to factory and warehouse automation systems to improve the accuracy of integrated data and response times. The JB ERP product supports barcode readers, wireless devices, and direct links to automated shop-floor or warehouse equipment for data collection, so that proven data collection technology can reduce unnecessary manual records, avoid redundant direct manual data entry, and pass shop-floor and inventory data quickly to planners and plant managers.

The JB ERP system has an extensible business framework and standard external interfaces. It gives users a customization interface they can design and develop themselves: as needed, users can use the templates provided by the system to develop business function modules with their own characteristics.
