Harnessing the Power of AI to Help Manufacturers Sell More at the Right Time

AI: Transforming Manufacturing—From Production to Profitability

As AI reshapes industries, manufacturers ask critical questions: How will customers discover and purchase products in an AI-driven world? And how can companies keep pace with these advancements?

At Crossroads RMC, we address these challenges with our AI Readiness Assessment (AIRA). An AIRA creates a clear, actionable digital roadmap, significantly boosting efficiency, accuracy, and strategic capabilities. This assessment ensures a smooth, swift AI transition.

AI Readiness Assessment targets key Financial areas:

  • Cash Flow Management: AI improves cash flow forecasting, identifying potential shortfalls before they impact operations.

  • Cost Control: By analyzing spending patterns, AI reveals areas for cost reduction; maintaining quality and efficiency.

  • Financial Forecasting: AI uses historical data and market trends to enhance forecasting accuracy, empowering strategic financial decisions.

AI Readiness Assessment targets key Operations areas:

  • Production Planning: AI optimizes production planning by analyzing data and forecasting demand, helping to balance workloads and minimize downtime.
  • Supply Chain Disruptions: AI predicts potential disruptions and suggests alternative suppliers or routes, enhancing supply chain resilience.
  • ​Quality Control: AI detects defects in real-time and predicts quality issues before they occur, leading to higher consistency and fewer recalls.


AI Readiness Assessment targets key Technology areas:

  • Data Management: AI organizes, analyzes, and develops actionable insights from data.
  • Security and Compliance: AI enhances cybersecurity measures by detecting anomalies and potential threats in real-time, and automates compliance checks to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
  • ​Performance Monitoring: AI continuously monitors system performance and identifies areas for improvement, ensuring optimal operation.
     

AI Readiness Assessment target key Executive areas:

  • Operational Visibility: AI integrates data from various sources to provide real-time visibility into all aspects of the business, enhancing oversight and control.
  • Risk Management: AI analyzes market trends, supply chain data, and internal processes to identify potential risks and recommend mitigation strategies.
  • Market Competitiveness: AI provides insights into market trends, customer preferences, and competitor activities, helping executives stay ahead of the curve.

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.
