Management Requirements Before Implementation

Implementation Goals
- Build a finance-business integrated platform for procurement-production-sales and people-finance-assets on SAP ERP, analyzing the business structure from a financial perspective
- Sort out internal management and business processes and job responsibilities, build a financial control system, and optimize the business and staffing structure
- Strengthen production management, quality traceability and visible production progress, so overseas customers can be given production-progress and quality reports anytime
