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

This is a simple way to go from the customer order to making the order and shipping the order. It involves a few simple steps:

  1. Receive and enter the customer order
  2. Automatic credit review
  3. Automatic release of the shop order tied to the customer order
  4. Issue material, report labor to the production order receipt
  5. Pick the order, ship the order, invoice the customer

 

With lean, you can skip processing the demand through MRP. You can go directly from the customer order to the shop order creation.

In ERP LX, this function is called Backward Scheduling. This is a simple, easy way to create and release shop orders associated with the end item.

The result is a shop calendar with the associated order start dates. Setting up ERP LX properly with correct Queue Times, Setup and Run Times, along with Move Times, will result in accurate shop order start dates.
