BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Make Your ERP Work FOR You - Streamline Your Processes
Such lofty goals you had when you implemented your ERP system. It was going to be like pressing the “Easy Button”… then it wasn’t.
What happened? In some cases, decisions were made to implement the system “just like we used to run our old system”. Great idea? Not so much. Your business changes, and your business software needs to change as well.
Are you using the ERP system, but everything seems cumbersome and takes more time than its worth?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Have you looked at streamlining your processes?
- Can you automate a step or two and eliminate some manual keying?
- Can you add barcoding to avoid keying in some information altogether?
- How about automating the printing of some reports?
Now is the time to sit down and really review the steps required to complete the task and think out of the box a bit. Soon you can develop your own streamlined process to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
