DRP-Distribution Resource Planning is a management platform that is based on information technology and uses the systematical managerial measures to integrate the ¡°Four-flow¡± in a company¡¯s operation, namely material flow, cash flow, information flow and human resource flow. With the combination of information technology and advanced management thoughts, DRP meets the enterprises¡¯ requirements for collocating the distribution resources with reason and creating the maximum distribution profits. Therefore, DRP is becoming the footstone on which an enterprise survives and develops.

The main difficulty in the distribution management in many enterprises is caused by the conflict between the high requirements for integrated management caused by the expeditiously expansive distribution scale, the increasing portfolio and the promptly explosive managerial information, and the lack of scientific management tools. To solve this conflict from the root, the functional departments must be reorganized on base of operation flow to manage the operation activities, and at the same time, a management information system should be set up in the distribution company and its distribution filiales. Such a management information system integrates distribution, inventory, procurement, transportation, market, post-sell service, financial check and capital control (realized by Efcsoft DRP System), and utilizes the newest information technologies to realize the collection and transfer of the critical operation information between the distribution company¡¯s headquarters and its subsidiary companies and such subsidiary departments as operation departments, offices, technological service centers or stations, etc. Then the headquarters gather, analyze and control the operation information. (Such a process is realized by Efcsoft  DRP Decision Analysis Module.) Therefore, the modern enterprise system can be established on such a management information system and the enterprise can run on the information speedway. While the competitive and expanding space of the enterprise excels those of the enterprises with same business, the enterprise can assure its continuable and high-speed development.
