A Delicate Balance: Lean and ERP

View the recording.

Manufacturing has always been a competitive business. Over the past 20 years, international treaties designed to lower tariffs and foster competition has significantly increased the level of this competition. To survive in this environment a manufacturing business needs every tool it can find at its disposal. But the primary tools that exist in the business press – ERP, Lean Manufacturing (including related concepts like Theory of Constraints) and Six Sigma – are typically presented as stand-alone solutions. Each has its place, but the requirement of a modern manufacturing enterprise is to understand the strengths of each and when it’s appropriate to apply the tool. We will explore the relationships between each, discuss the tools themselves and the delicate balance that is required when implementing both lean manufacturing concepts and an ERP system. In conclusion, we will present examples from two recent clients, explaining how they dealt with this challenge.

 

Case Study: How AP Automation Reduces Errors, Improves Data Management, and Improves Visibility

View the recording.

Automating Accounts Payable processes can bring numerous operational and business benefits, from improving accuracy and reliability of information, taking advantage of early payment discounts, and supporting resilience along the entire supply chain.  But what if we look beyond the current needs, what if the organization’s goal is to grow, and adopt AP automation processes capable of supporting high-rate business expansion, without burdening today’s budget?  Hear a real-life customer story - how a dynamic company turned its AP department into a lean business unit, able to support high growth.

 

The Value of Archiving

View the presentation (submit the webinar form to download). Archiving is one of the most effective means to improve system performance and user productivity. Archived data can be stored on-site or in the cloud. Over the years, data growth in your system can start creating problems. Do you find MRP performance to be slow?  We have encountered companies that have over millions of records in the manufacturing history--that certainly has an impact on MRP performance. How about old Item Master records and Bills of Material?  It might be time to clear out the obsolete items. Essentio has many Oracle JD Edwards customers that needed to purge and archive their data to improve system performance, to shorten disaster recovery times, or even to reduce legal liability from old historical data. This session will discuss why customers choose to purge and archive, real-world results and benefits, ROI, and specific case studies of manufacturing companies who have benefited from carefully implemented data archival and management solutions before data growth created critical business continuity issues. Experience how important archiving can be to improve performance overall.
