ERP System Refresh

 

Many companies, in our experience, have ERP systems of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and yet end up enmeshed in a spider web-like series of spreadsheets. which duplicate the functions of the ERP System. Hence the company has paid for an ERP system, and continues to pay license fees, for something that does not get used effectively.

You would like to get all the things that were promised, like reduced inventory, improved costs and lower overheads, but you feel that you have too many people fire fighting, too much inventory and not enough cash.

The reasons for the failures in our experience are based around the following key elements:

  • Data inaccuracy for inventory, Bills of Materials, Routings and Planning Data [Lead Times, Order Quantities and safety stocks
  • Lack of basic disciplines on booking works orders
  • Failure to eliminate arrears on the system to enable a valid statement of material and capacity requirements
  • Failure to use Demonstrated Capacity as the judge of available capacity
  • Incomplete implementation of modules - lack of capacity planning, master scheduling or forecasting modules
  • Incomplete understanding of how to use the system - things like Forecast Consumption, Available to Promise, and how to Master Schedule
  • Sales and Marketing functions not providing or spending sufficient time on forecasting
  • Failure to join all parts of the business

 

That is why the Delos Partnership have put together a focussed programme to get the best out of your business ERP systems, through a quick assessment, practical guidance and delivering the right knowledge to your people to help them tackle the issues.

We will tackle:

  • Data Accuracy

  • Supply Chain Management through effective Master Scheduling, Material Planning and Capacity Planning

  • Sales and Operations Management

  • Performance Measurement

We will start with a Business Excellence assessment using our benchmark book. We will then deliver a mixture of education, training and facilitation that will enable your people to fix the problems.

Look at our case study on ABRO for an example of the results of this kind of intervention
