Integration of ERP and an optimal plan for inventory layout

目前，行业合作伙伴ACQBULT公司面临的主要挑战是，不仅要改进其 ** 制造流程以减少时间和成本，而且要根据 ** JIT原则改进库存管理（这也可以提供显著的好处，例如通过减少 ** 库存持有成本来增加现金流），并建立实时数据收集以更有效地做出决策。虽然从管理的角度来看，这些库存管理操作被认为是至关重要的支持性服务，但对库存和内部供应链的无效控制可能会扰乱公司的现金流并降低其生产力。因此，该行业伙伴正在努力改进库存 ** 管理的业绩，以便能够在企业资源规划系统的外地业务和 ** 行政方面实现实时数据收集。为了改善目前的状况，** 提出了一个四步方法，将与行业伙伴合作，在六个月内实施。第一阶段：分析库存管理和流程的现状效率;第二阶段：** 开发实时数据采集系统，收集库存管理的实时数据;第三阶段：** 规划和开发集成物料管理系统，与现有ERP系统协同工作;** 第四阶段：基于成本效益分析规划最佳库存布局，并确定未来 ** 研究的途径 ** 材料管理系统可以真实的时间捕获所有动态数据，并有效地将其沿着 ** 与各种类型的资源相关联的内部供应链。借助基于特征的建模方法，实时信息收集可以合并到ERP系统中。由于这些原因，本研究将使行业合作伙伴（以及整个建筑制造业）受益，并增强其库存和供应链管理实践，以进一步利用建筑制造方法的好处。

At present the primary challenge for the industry partner, ACQBUILT, Inc., is not only to improve its**manufacturing process in order to reduce time and cost, but to improve inventory management in accordance**with the JIT principle (which can also provide significant benefits such as increased cash flow by reducing the**inventory holding cost), and to establish real-time data collection for more effective decision making. Although**these inventory management operations are supportive services considered vital from a management**perspective, ineffective control of inventory and internal supply chain can disrupt the company's cash flow and**lower its productivity. Hence, the industry partner is seeking to improve the performance of inventory**management such that real-time data collection can be achieved in terms of both field operation and**administrative aspects of the ERP system. In order to improve the current state, a four-step methodology is**proposed that will be carried out over six months in collaboration with the industry partner.**STAGE 1: Analyze the efficiency of the current state of inventory management and processes; STAGE 2:**Develop a real-time data acquisition system to collect real-time data for inventory management; STAGE 3:**Plan and develop an integrated material management system to collaborate with the existing ERP system;**STAGE 4: Plan an optimal inventory layout based on cost-benefit analysis, and identify avenues for future**research**A material management system can capture all dynamic data in real time and effectively synthesize it along the**internal supply chain associated with various types of resources. With the assistance of a feature-based**modelling method, real-time information collection can be merged into an ERP system. For these reasons, this**research will benefit the industry partner (and the construction manufacturing industry in general), and enhance**its inventory and supply chain management practice in order to further leverage the benefits of a construction**manufacturing approach.
