ERP reduces cycle time, improves efficiency

ERP reduces cycle time, improves efficiency:

Among the other benefits that eresource ERP can bring, reduction of cycle time is an important an aspect. Before getting to know the benefits of reduction in cycle time, it is better to understand what cycle time is meant. Cycle time is the time between placement of the order and delivery of the product.

At one end of the manufacturing spectrum is the make-to-order operation where the cycle time and cost of production are high. This is because in a make-to-order situation the manufacturer starts making the product or designing the product only after receiving the order. The manufacturer will procure the materials and components required for production only after getting the order. On the other end of the manufacturing operations is the make-to-stock approach, where the products are manufactured and kept in the finished goods inventory before the order is placed.

In both cases the cycle time can be reduced by the ERP software, but the reduction will be more in the case of make-to-order systems. In the case of make-to-stock, the items are already manufactured and kept in warehouses or with distributors, for sales. Here the cycle time is reduced not in the shop floor, but during the order fulfillment. In the earlier days, even for the made-to-stock items, the cycle time used to be high. This is because the process was manual and if computerized, was not integrated.

Here is a typical example of old working system. Suppose a customer places an order. The order entry clerk has to check whether the ordered product is available in the warehouse nearest to the customer. If it is not available there, then he will have to check whether it is available in other warehouses or with any of the distributors. Then he will have to process the order, inform the concerned warehouse or distributor to ship the item and then inform the finance department to raise the invoice and so on.

All these used to take time, days and sometimes week. But with eresource ERP system, as soon as the order is entered into the system, the system checks the availability of the items. If it is not available at the warehouse closest to the customer, then the warehouse that is closer and which has the item in stock is identified. The warehouse is informed about the order and the shipment details are sent t the distribution module, which will perform the necessary tasks like packaging, picking and so on, so that the goods are delivered on-time.

The finance module is also alerted about the order so that they can raise the invoice. All these actions are triggered by the click of a button by the order entry clerk. Since all the data, updated to the minute, is available in the centralized database and since all the procedures are automated, almost all these activities are done without human intervention. This efficiency of the eresource ERP reduces cycle time.

eresource ERP system has proved that it can produce goods at the flexibility of make-to-order approach without losing the cost and time benefits of made-to-order operations. This means that the customer will get individual attention and features that they want without spending more money or waiting for long periods. With t web enabled eresource ERP system, customers can place the order, track the status of the order and make the payment sitting at home.

They need to allow data to be shared with an organization a rule and roles based system. They must overhaul reporting structures that limit decision-making to a select few.

Planning ERP implementation? Here are some few tips

ERP Implementation Planning 

The time is an important factor as far as an ERP implementation is concerned. Companies should also be equipped with abilities to face whatever shortcomings they may encounter with. Implementation methodologies must not only satisfy the customer, but also must boost the confidence of the users.

There is also a confusion prevailing among the top decision makers that whether ERP implementation be carried out module wise or all the modules at one go? Before taking a concrete decision on this regarding the management must make a thorough study of the prevailing situation in their organization. This is because the ground situation varies and depends on each organization.

Mostly decision on this depends on the readiness audit result, available strength of consulting human power – both internal and external – relevance of ERP at various sites, time frame, and the budget. But it is highly recommended that the organization should go for the implementation of all the modules at one time at one site, and then go for roll out strategy for all sites.

There is also a wrong concept about the BPR and ERP system. The main doubt persist in the mind of many decision makers is whether the organization should first carry out BPR and then implement ERP, or vice versa. Actually, one has to understand that the physical form of the BPR concept is the ERP system. In some organizations where BPR is carried out first then ERP was implemented. In all these places, the BPR document was thrown into dustbin and new ‘to be document’ was prepared suitable to ERP.

Such cases clearly show that BPR benefits as such don’t exist without ERP reference, and ERP just cannot be carried out without proper BPR. What we assume is that the BPR must be the outgrowth of ERP implementation and, therefore, it should be carried out during implementation only. But the major element of BPR is the change in the mindset, which can be initiated before ERP adoption, may be during the preliminary analysis by way of user training. The best thing to do in these situations is to carry ‘noiseless BRP’ which triggers the implementation smoothly.

Tight integration between modules is the key to an efficient ERP packages; therefore all of the core business modules are related. For instance, in eresource ERP, manufacturing operations are integrated with customer service, logistics and delivery. A new customer order automatically initiates an appropriate warehouse action and product shipments trigger billing processes. Sales, production and purchasing groups work seamlessly together to fulfill critical customer orders and adapt production levels to changes in market demand.

Organizations also must understand that development of ERP is not like other software development projects, which are normally carried out focusing on automation. We find such serious mistakes being committed by some big and small companies in India. Today, when quality ERP product like eresource ERP is well within the reach of most of the companies, one should not opt for costly in-house development. This kind of in-house developed ERP is not at all an ERP system except the integration.

Organizations that are looking forward to business growth should remember that the decreasing costs of hardware, infrastructure technology and ERP applications put a modern version of these business-management packages within reach of any company.
