To implement an enterprise wide IT platform to enhance corporate management, make available real time information in project planning execution, accounting, and inventory and procurement management. To enable higher profitability, improve asset management and reduce cost.
With a centralized IT system like an ERP , Shanghai Power could establish a holistic and asset-centric utility management framework Integrating financial, material, and asset information and be able to replace it’s widely dispersed array of systems. As shown below, the integrated framework starts from core capital project planning and then carries over into project execution, control and purchasing, and inventory management. As a project nears completion, the system will automatically run the asset accounting and shift assets or equipment to daily Maintenance and operations. Then the implemented centralized ERP system would help the organization manage and optimize the cost and investment using the centralized cash management. It would also enable the the company to improve operational efficiency and workforce productivity in terms of asset-related financial and human capital management.
