I. overall structure of scientific research project management

according to the relevant regulations and needs of the enterprise, and in combination with its own product characteristics and experience in informatization, SAP proposes a mature, comprehensive and systematic system architecture scheme, with the main structure as follows:

(a) scientific research project control

l application and project approval management

Application guide management: the application guide is the guiding document of the project management system, All items shall be declared in accordance with the contents of the guide, and the effective time of the guide shall be taken as the starting time of declaration, and special personnel shall be assigned to maintain the declaration guide

project application management: standardize the content of project application and its documents, provide the review process after project application, and standardize the process of project application

ensures that customers obtain excellent product item statistics function: it provides the annual summary function of projects under application, approved or failed to pass the approval

2 project initiation control management project planning and implementation management: provide the planning of the whole project in the system, and standardize the planning content of the project; It provides the review function of planning projects, and experts review project planning in the system; It provides the audit of project objectives and stages, and can control the implementation process of the project; Standardize the target documents of the project

fund management: automatically count the planned and actually used funds of the project and output reports; Support to import the fund usage data in the system into Kingdee financial system

contract management: standardize the contents and documents of project related contracts, and provide the review process of contracts

interface management: standardize the contents and documents of the project interface, and provide the review process of the interface

meeting management: standardize the meeting contents and documents related to the project, and provide the review process of the meeting contents

project statistics function: provide annual project statistics

3 project closing control management closing application management: standardize and control the content of the closing project and its related documents, and provide the expert review process of the closing application

conclusion result management: special personnel can be controlled to summarize and modify the conclusion status

project statistics function: provide project implementation statistics

(b) scientific research achievements

L achievements appraisal management

project appraisal declaration management: standardize the declaration contents and documents of project appraisal, provide the review process after project appraisal declaration, and standardize the process of project appraisal

evaluation function: provide expert evaluation in the system and standardize the evaluation process

appraisal result management: special personnel can be controlled to summarize and modify the appraisal results

identification and statistics function: provide summary statistics of passed identification; Provide summary statistics of annual awards

2 achievement reward management

project reward management: standardize the application of project reward and the content and documents of project achievement declaration, provide the review process after reward application and achievement declaration, provide expert review in the system, and standardize the declaration process

reward result management: special personnel can be controlled to summarize and modify the reward results

reward statistics function: provide annual achievement reward summary

(c) standard management

provides the functions of knowledge base file management and file template, making the template of the files that must be filled in the project, making the documents in the whole process of the project more standardized

(f) business code management

provides the function of business code and opens a large number of fields for self maintenance, which is conducive to us to adjust some commonly used and volatile data according to our actual situation

(g) coding management

the coding of all items is systematically numbered, and the new software also enables users to obtain the true value of tension in the test process through the position sensor. The original coding is refined, making the coding more practical; The system is responsible for the effectiveness, invalidation and recovery of the code, ensuring the effectiveness and uniqueness of the code

(H) report function

provides a large number of report output functions, which can automatically generate the original manually calculated reports through system summary

II. System application effect at present, Qishuyan Institute has completed all the projects from the second half of 2006 from the project management system, from project approval and application to achievement award. The new project in 2007 is completely managed in the project management system, and the full stage review of all projects is realized through the project management system. From July 2006 to the end of October 2007, Qishuyan Institute has planned 41 projects, including 25 projects in progress and 12 projects under review. In addition, 8 statements have been developed and put into use by all departments. The application of the whole project management system has made substantial progress

Qishuyan Institute has solved the problems of safety, sharing and consistency of technical data through the implementation of PLM system project; The efficiency and standardization of project declaration, achievement appraisal, statement summary and other related management work have been improved; Eliminate duplicate declaration and reduce the reaction time of project declaration and identification; The expert evaluation mechanism is established, which shortens the preparation time of evaluation, establishes an efficient evaluation process, and embodies the concept of special personnel in the system; The accumulation of knowledge and efficient reuse mechanism are established; A large number of data statistics and report functions greatly reduce the workload, speed up the statistical time of the project, and truly monitor the operation of the project in real time; Through the integration of the project management system and Kingdee and other systems, information islands and repeated data input are avoided, and the foundation is laid for the follow-up information work. Finally, the management level of Qishuyan Institute is improved, the speed of project application and achievement transformation is accelerated, the quality of project planning is improved, and the whole project management cycle is shortened

success points in the process of project implementation:

L in the process of implementation, refine the goal plan of each stage in order to ensure the high accuracy of the experimental force reading of the experimental machine. Each stage requires confirmation, which can make both parties clear their work goals and ensure the overall progress of the project

2 use post-processing to associate objects that cannot be associated in the system, and meet the prompt function we require

3 for some reports without circulation or simple reports, the same purpose can be achieved by configuring the system view, which can reduce the cycle of report development and shorten the project time; The configuration of views can be classified according to personnel, so that views reflect the concept of dedicated personnel

4 a large number of object attributes are opened to business code, which is convenient for user maintenance and saves the development time of configuration developers

5 training should be divided into roles by department. If possible, it is best to simulate the real process together after the preliminary training of each role

III. system outlook

it is expected to add a data management module on the basis of the existing project management system in the future. The current configuration development retains the tables and fields of the original data objects, which can completely make project management and data management coexist, and extend project management to the management of project product data.
