Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) technology has long been a staple
for manufacturing organizations that wish to streamline operations and
hasten inventory and warehouse management while improving customer
service. However, with the advent of new technologies, ERP
implementations are about to get dramatically better. These new
technologies – including cloud computing, mobile solutions and real-time
business intelligence/analytics – along with new advances in warehouse
automation — will empower manufacturing organizations like never before.
In fact, these new ERP innovations will allow manufacturers to
completely jump-start their operations. For example, in the very near
future, manufacturers will rely on mobile networked devices and
on-demand software to increasingly enable the seamless integration,
tracking and optimization of key tasks from inventory, shop floor and
management all the way to capacity and materials planning and product
quality control.
Manufacturers focused on growing their businesses must consider implementing these ERP advances in particular:
Mobile
Mobile is emerging as a critical technology for manufacturers that
wish to empower their remote workers while improving customer service
and satisfaction. One leading manufacturer of insulated industrial
outerwear relies on VAIs S2K Sales Force application so that the outside
sales staff can use smart phones and tablets to directly view sales
patterns, notes, previous sales, inventory levels and past appointments
prior to visiting clients. They can also enter more notes or place
orders in real-time – which are all immediately visible to the back
office. This resulted in a major productivity boost for the
manufacturer.
Business Intelligence and Analytics
Most manufacturers are not leveraging their own internal data to
their best competitive advantage. In fact, these organizations often
have valuable data scattered throughout their enterprises without a
proven mechanism to find, track and recover exact components of data in
real-time – necessary for making more intelligent decisions on-the-fly
as well as keeping abreast of competitors, sales forecasts, inventory
changes and market trends. Next-generation ERP technology will get a
boost from new advances in analytics and business intelligence solutions
that will give manufacturers the ability to rapidly uncover the right
data sets while providing intelligence on how to act on that data based
on the situation at hand.
Warehouse Automation
ERP solutions will be further bolstered by warehouse automation
advances that offer such important capabilities as RFID tracking and
integration with voice-pick solutions.
New advances in ERP will give manufacturers the ability to analyze
large data sets to more effectively drive innovation, productivity and
efficiencies. According to a recent study by the McKinsey Global
Institute, a major retailer leveraged the power of Big Data to improve
operating margins by more than 60%. And, McKinsey believes that the
manufacturing industry can benefit in a similar fashion by leveraging
data-driven strategies to innovate, compete and capture value from both
deep and up-to-the-minute real-time information.
There are new technologies that can dramatically improve operations
and inventory management for manufacturers of all sizes. These advances
will transform the role of inventory management from a record keeping
tactic to a more strategic business asset by driving major improvements
in overall productivity while eliminating costly mistakes in the
warehouse.
On the shop floor and in the warehouse, many manufacturers are
already using RF scanning to improve performance and overall
productivity. By implementing RF scanning alone, manufacturers can
automate the entire warehouse and shop floor, improving performance
across all key areas including: receiving; directed put away product
movement; picking; packing order verification; returns refused shipment;
raw materials issue production; bin replenishment; warehouse transfers;
file set-up; and, cycle counting.
With RF scanning added to their ERP implementations, warehouses will
uncover seven powerful ways to hasten the order fulfillment process by:
- Integrating systems
- Automating picking
- Driving better shipment planning
- Automating shipment verification
- Reducing paperwork
- Managing warehouse capacity, and
- Incorporating sales into the process
For optimal warehouse automation, there are traditional approaches
that companies can utilize – most notably fixed stations and check out
stations for validation. And, as an alternative to RF scanning, some
manufacturers are also using new voice-enabled, label-based and
paper-based approaches that have proven to be effective.
With so much innovation across core ERP functions critical to
manufacturers, now is the right time for organizations to explore how
these advances can further modernize and streamline operations,
inventory and warehouse management, sales and accounting, among others.
Forward-thinking manufacturers should consider adopting new mobile
cloud, business intelligence and analytics capabilities in order to stay
ahead of the curve and the competition.
