ERP and legacy systems
provide the piping to be
able to process your purchase, customer, production, warehouse,
transportation, and return orders. It is the transaction base that
businesses use to track orders, inventory and costs.
To account for the
time & capacity elements of the supply chain we must add the key
aspects of execution; scheduling,
capacity planning, and
monitoring. This applies to all
‘management’ functions in the supply chain; customer, supplier,
production, warehouse & logistics.
Fundamental to smooth execution is the
coordination between the back office and value added operations.
Often companies have installed system components that do a good job
with their function but aren’t adequately coordinated with other
functions in the same PROCESS. Problems in this area show up in key
metrics like missed deliveries,
low productivity,
late receivables, and poor
flexibility.
This happens often with Best-of-Breed applications being bundled
together but it also happens with “integrated” ERP applications.
