It’s mid-January and IT’S GO TIME!

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

You can change your master schedule by specifying the type of master schedule update to perform. You can run a Net Change or Regenerative Schedule.

You also have the ability to clear the lower level requirements out of the Planned and Firm-Planned Order file.

Understanding: What Was Issued to the Shop Order

The shop order inquiry program provides several function keys. By using the function key for the material, the display will present what components have been issued under the issued quantity column. You are also presented with the required quantity. While viewing the quantities you may see that more was issued than what was required. Possibly there was scrap and more material was required to be issued. Perhaps there was an over issue and the balance of the material is slated to be returned to stock.

A red flag should go up if the Shop Order quantity finished is equal to the required quantity for the end item and all the components have not been issued. You may want to investigate why.
