It’s mid-January and IT’S GO TIME!

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

The calendar is fresh, the resolutions are made and the opportunities are endless!

So, it is time to dive right in and start tackling your to-do’s?

Right?

Not just yet!

First, you need to take the time to think about your ERP strategy.

What’s an ERP strategy?

-------------------------------------

ERP strategy is a guideline for the steps you should take before, during, and after an ERP implementation. They are the steps recommended to ensure proper functionality and ultimate success with an ERP system… the system you RELY on to help you run your business.

Think of it this way: Before you take a long road trip, you might do some planning….which cities do I want to visit? What hotels are available? What sites look interesting? Without planning, you’re just winging it. While “winging it” might turn out great, it also might turn out horribly.

A horrible road trip isn’t the end of the world, but a horrible ERP strategy could be. What if you never took the time to evaluate your ERP system and determine how well it is or isn’t matching up with your company’s growth strategy? What if your employees really didn’t understand why they were using certain features, or how best to use them…they just (somehow) got the required transactions in…never sure if they were even processed correctly or completely? What if you never investigated new features in the ERP, or ways that processes could be streamlined which might save significant amounts of manual effort and money?

Whether the next steps in your ERP strategy involve a major ERP upgrade, new integrations, or gaining efficiencies with the system you have in place today, there are always things that can be done to improve.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Exit Points is a new feature in Infor LX Version 8 that allows users to customize, without changing the original LX source code. Exit points provide a way for you to call an external program and pass a set of parameters to implement any needed custom logic. By using Exit Points, LX customers are able to modify the software, and still take advantage of new releases from Infor. Exit points are available in many LX programs. A complete list is available on the Infor support website.

Optimize Your Manufacturing Today!

Poor performance indicators make for poor outcomes.

Companies today continue to tolerate and accept how labor and production information is recorded, and the reliability on that information is questionable. In addition to collecting labor and production information, there are many other pieces of information manually recorded from the shop floor.

A critical element of information for productivity throughput would be to examine how much time the work center or machine was actually up and running. Downtime is another critical element of data that is usually manually recorded along with a reason identifying what caused production to stop. If this information is not provided on a timely and accurate basis, then what good is it anyway? Forms are filled out, data may or may not be keyed to a spreadsheet, the forms are sorted and filed, but is anybody really looking at the information that was recorded? Think about the amount of time it takes to manage the manual collection of information from your shop floor. 

What would real time access to data mean to your organization?
The benefits:

  1. Real Time Production Visibility
  2. Reduced Paperwork Load
  3. Downtime and Scrap Visibility
  4. WIP Inventory Visibility
  5. Improve Efficiency, Capacity Utilization
