In the rapidly changing market environment, Lanxiang Environment has always practiced the concept of customer-centricity, and high-standard project delivery is the bottom line of Lanxiang and a solemn commitment to customers. Recently, Li Beibei of Lanxiang Environmental Operation Department introduced in detail the company's innovative practices in project management, especially in improving the project delivery rate.
Below, let's walk into the environment of Lanxiang and learn about its outstanding performance in the field of project management.
The characteristics and difficulty of project management
Lanxiang environment belongs to a typical non-standard complex project manufacturing industry, products include defogging cooling towers, FRP cooling towers, etc., these products are not only complex in structure, but also each project needs to be redesigned according to the customer contract, and the business characteristics determine that the whole project needs to be designed, produced and installed, which puts forward extremely high requirements for material management and production organization.
At the same time, the amount of a project can reach millions or even tens of millions of yuan, a project needs to be split into multiple order lines (one order line corresponds to a set of equipment and one product), a product can be decomposed into a number of sub-tasks, a sub-task can be derived from a number of production plans, procurement plans, outsourcing plans, assembly plans, etc., production organization and management is very difficult!
In addition, every step of the product from design to production to installation requires precise planning and control. Especially in material management, due to the characteristics of the product, the material demand is changeable, and the requirements for the completeness of the material and the lack of material are extremely strict.
U9 cloud is introduced to realize the full life cycle control of the project
In order to meet these challenges, Bluevision Environment has introduced the U9 cloud system, which provides a comprehensive solution from project initiation to planning, execution and control, to project completion, supporting the management and control of the whole life cycle of the project and the efficient collaboration of multiple departments. The application of this system makes project management more systematic and automated, and greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of project management.
It comprehensively covers the project initiation, planning, execution, control and completion stages, including bidding, quotation, sales contract, invoicing, and receivable management, forming a closed loop of sales management.
For the project management department, realize the preparation and release of project plans, project changes, and project progress tracking.
The technical department organizes the product design and process preparation according to the design task requirements in the project plan, and imports the results into the ERP.
According to the project task decomposition (WBS)-production task, the production planning department carries out the PRP calculation of the project demand plan, the production project procurement plan, and the procurement department organizes the procurement, generates the production plan and outsourcing plan, and issues it for implementation.
According to the requirements of the project plan (e.g., pre-procurement tasks), the purchasing department generates purchase orders and carries out purchase receipt to warehousing.
The product delivery or after-sales installation department organizes product delivery, on-site installation and commissioning, and after-sales service according to the delivery task or installation service task.
The financial management department can carry out project budget estimate, project budget, project cost accounting, and project settlement through the system.
Typical applications and excellent performance
In terms of technical support, the U9 cloud system shows its unique advantages. Compared with the traditional ERP system, U9 cloud not only supports the calculation of general material requirements, but also supports the calculation of project requirements, making the preparation of project plans more automatic and efficient.
In addition, the project workbench provided by U9 cloud has functions such as real-time update of project progress, procurement progress, and production progress, making project management more transparent and controllable.
The project number runs through: Lanxiang Environment realizes the whole process management of the project from negotiation to acceptance through the U9 cloud system. The project number, from project negotiation to project acceptance, runs through the whole business process of sales, planning, design, procurement, production, delivery, and installation services, which is the basic feature of Bluevision enterprise and an important feature of U9 cloud.
Task Decomposition (WBS): Through the work breakdown structure, the project is decomposed into multiple sub-tasks, and each sub-task is further refined into specific production plans, procurement plans, etc., making project management more refined and efficient.
Sales order management: All sales orders are managed according to the project, and each order has a corresponding item number for easy tracking and management. This not only improves the efficiency of order processing, but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of project information.
Project progress tracking and monitoring: Use Gantt charts to visually display project progress and track task execution in real time.
Project Requirements Planning (PRP) Calculation: When U9 cloud performs MRP calculation, the requirements can come from the project task decomposition (WBS), realize the project Requirements Planning Operation (PRP), automatically balance inventory, in-transit, and in-progress, and realize the automation of project planning, which not only improves the efficiency of planning, but also reduces the risk of material backlog and shortage.
Visible management improvement
Construction of project management platform: The whole process management from project initiation to task decomposition, demand planning and progress tracking has been realized, and a company-level project management platform has been built.
Refinement of task management: Through systematic multi-level task decomposition, the real-time grasp of the progress of each task is realized, and the task progress tracking efficiency is improved by 80%.
Automation of planning: The automation of PRP calculation effectively reduces the backlog and shortage of materials, and the efficiency of planning is increased by more than 5 times.
Real-time tracking of project progress: Through the project execution workbench, real-time monitoring of project procurement and production progress is realized, ensuring that the project is delivered on schedule.
Through the introduction of the U9 cloud system, the innovative practice of Lanxiang Environment in project management not only improves the project delivery rate and product quality, but also provides customers with better solutions and services. By strengthening project operation management, Lanxiang not only enhances its competitiveness, but also sets a new benchmark for project management for the entire industry.
