Long Term Improvements Implementation
It has been noted that excellence is a continuing journey. The efforts to improve business operations is not a one time project. Management needs to recognize that a company can continually fine-tune the use of its Business Control Systems. As departments learn to work together more closely and improve coordination, lead times can be reduced, planning parameters fine-tuned, safety stock levels reduced, forecasts improved, and so on. These improvements can be affected by formally changing policies to more tightly link operations and reduce inventory levels and by changing parameter values within the system. Other improvement opportunities exist through continuing management development activities, implementation of data collection systems such as bar coding to improve data accuracy and timeliness and implementation of other concepts such as Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma production concepts, gain-sharing, and quality programs to mention a few. Enterprise Resource Planning can be linked to other manufacturing technology such as computer-aided engineering, design, process planning, manufacturing, testing (CAE/CAD/KBE/CAM/CAT), robotics, automated material handling, and flexible manufacturing systems as part of a Computer Integrated Business (CIB) program leading to your enterprise becoming a world class leader in the industries, services you serve.
