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

Some items in the manufacturing process may require a lot number. A quick and easy way to release the Shop Orders with lot numbers is by using the Multi-Level Shop Order Release.

Simply select the end item from the selection screen and use action 10 for the multi-level order release. At the bottom of the release screen is the field “Pre-Assign a Lot Number to Shop Orders”. Select 1 for the pre-assigned lot number assignment option.

This option will use the pre-assigned lot number on the shop order, if the lot number exists. If the lot number does not exist, the system will automatically create a lot number and assign it to the shop order for all items that are lot-controlled.

Just a refresher on a tip I’ve shared previously from supply Chain Technology Bulletin regarding how to attain greater inventory accuracy. I thought it would be worthwhile to share again:

  1. Record data regarding your inventory as soon as the items arrive at your door / receiving dock. With information, you can make decisions. Without it, you waste money, time, and effort.
  2. Leverage data collection, label generation, and RFID solutions to make your life easier.
  3. Set inventory accuracy goals for the business and for employees.
  4. Train your employees so they know what is expected of them, and how to best perform their job and therefore how best to maintain accurate inventory counts.
  5. Count the inventory – and do it regularly. Find a method that works best for your employees, and for your business.
