Did you implement your ERP system 5 years ago… or maybe 20 years ago? At the time, it was like a brand new car… sleek, fast, top-of-the-line, and fuel-efficient. And although it may have needed a few minor “adjustments”, overall you were very pleased. Fast forward to today. Does it still have that new car smell? Does it run as efficiently as it used to? Do you know how to fix a problem when it occurs?

While ERP systems are certainly designed to last, over time, your business changes, your customers’ needs change, employees change and you are left with a system that may run “fine”, but you certainly don’t feel the same way about it as you did when it was brand new.

So the good news is that you CAN restore that “new car smell” with a utilization review, or business process review.

What is a Utilization or Business Process Review and Why Do I Need One?
Simply put, a business process review is an exercise designed to help businesses identify areas of improvement to become more agile, efficient, and streamlined.

Does my organization need a Business Process Review? 

While every company could benefit from conducting a business process review, it's only worth the time and effort if you have a specific problem you're trying to solve or a goal you are trying to achieve. Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, organizations must be ready and willing to make changes. 

That's why a business process review is critical; it helps align processes, define goals, and thoughtfully plan and build solutions that help businesses achieve actual growth.

Our consultant reviews the current usage and related business processes of your entire Infor ERP system, or a particular area like Finance, Manufacturing, Materials Management, or Technology to make recommendations that will reinvigorate your Infor ERP system and those that use it.

Other benefits include:

  • Creating a consistent way of working across the business
  • Automating processes to reduce effort and increase productivity
  • Improving decision-making capability by providing access to real-time, reliable, and accurate information
  • Creating opportunities to improve your customer service levels and response times
  • Increasing your ability to attract and retain quality staff

Your ERP system may require some engine work, or it may just require an oil change and an expert to look everything over to make sure things are running smoothly. Either way – whether this is a project you take on internally or decide that you need some expert guidance from a company like Crossroads RMC, it is worth the time and investment to ensure peak performance.

Business process reviews can be performed 100% remotely via phone or web meeting, or in person – you choose what works best for your team.

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.
