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

The system allows you to manipulate and maintain a simulated MPS and MRP. You can copy the simulation from the existing first cut, or you can create a totally new schedule. You can also perform a simulation of the rough-cut capacity plan. This allows a quick visual inspection by inquiry or menu of needed work center

loads for the proposed MPS. After you choose a suitable MPS and rough-cut capacity, the system allows you to transfer the simulated MPS to the live Master Production Schedule.

The challenge in cost accounting is tracking your manufacturing to the levels needed for useful management information. You need feedback for corrective action; but, you need to minimize the cost of collection. Some parts of your operation require specific job-cost tracking while the Just-in-Time areas require

costing in terms of cost per process hour or day. Apply overhead in different ways to different processes and products. Segregate costs into enough detail

to provide management with an accurate picture of the contents of your product. Material, material overhead, labor, fixed overhead, variable overhead, outside processing, outside processing overhead, and so forth all have to be considered.

 

LX meets your cost accounting needs with the following functionality:

▪ Four sets of costs: actual, standard, frozen standard, and simulated

▪ Nine user-defined elements per set

▪ Full and partial cost roll-up and simulation

▪ Cumulative in-process cost tracking

▪ Cost summaries by item

▪ Cost definition tied to work centers or material type

▪ Process hour costing
