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.

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.
