It’s mid-January and IT’S GO TIME!

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

In the master schedule creation, you have the flexibility to enter a planning start date, or default to the facility planning start date. Infor LX uses the planning date to plan both orders with forecasts and customer orders as demand.You can create your master schedule from the Master Production Scheduling module (MPS).

These programs are used to capture and post shop floor information. Labor reporting, machine time, etc. can be captured by either program. The key difference is that one will also capture the production receipt and backflush components. Based on your company information / transaction process, one of these programs will most likely be used daily to capture current shop floor data. You can use the shop packet labor ticket for the manual recording, and the keying of the data. Alternatively, you can incorporate an automated method like an MES solution to capture the data and streamline the process.
