Infor LX & BPCS: Waste in Manufacturing

What if you could eliminate waste and optimize your business for $5/day?

Crossroads MES (Manufacturing Execution System) captures all of your ERP production data and harnesses the power of that data to increase your team’s efficiency by providing the right information at the right time to the right people. 

Reducing waste enables manufacturers to save money and increase productivity.
Where is the waste happening in your processes? How often is your department spending time and resources on the following tasks?

Manufacturing:

  • Correcting repeated problems with production quality
  • Juggling manual production schedules
  • Holding up production due to delayed component deliveries
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material resource needs


Materials:

  • Correcting deliveries with missing or wrong items
  • Sending overstocked inventory back to a warehouse or other location
  • Searching for raw materials, tools, or other equipment
  • Waiting on a late delivery from a supplier


Finance:

  • Managing increasing carrying costs of inventory
  • Dealing with budget overruns on projects
  • Managing cash flow due to unnecessarily long lead times and shipment times
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material costs to get overall production costs down


Company-wide:

  • Correcting repeated problems with production quality
  • Correcting deliveries with missing or wrong items
  • Holding up production due to delayed component deliveries
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material costs to get overall production costs down

With this enhancement the Purchase Receipts screens are optionally shown with the quantity and weight fields populated with the open value on the purchase order. The screens are now populated with the open value and if the open value is the same as the value received, the user can simply accept the line. The Receive All field on the PUR550D1-01 screen determines whether the receipt lines are populated with the open value. A system parameter controls the Receive All default value but the default value can be overridden.  

If this option is selected, the user does not have to enter the open quantity or weight. If the purchase order receipt has many lines, this option saves time and prevents errors.

This enhancement allows users to restrict access to purchase order print programs. The purchase order print programs were updated to provide security validation for the user who selects the purchase orders to print. The security validation is controlled by the PO Print Security Validation flag on the Purchasing System Parameters screen, PUR820D-04. This enhancement gives users the option to restrict access to purchase order print programs, providing additional security at the company and warehouse levels.
