Manufacturing organizations are inherently complex. We’ve come to learn (sometimes the hard way) that are many moving parts including:
- Finance (A/R, A/P, G/L, product costing)
- Logistics (purchasing, sales)
- Inventory control (raw materials, finished goods, bulk stock, kanban, material planning)
- Product engineering (bills of material, work centers, tasks, routings)
- Production control (material issues, production completion, labor capture, material receipts, production planning)
- Yikes!

Experts in Manufacturing & Distribution
We guide Operations Executives to skillfully use more visible and accurate information together with Intelligent Systems to drive significant improvements in eight (8) critical cost and performance areas:
- Manufacturing cycle (throughput) time
- Material shortages / substitutions
- Scrap: material defects
- Scrap: production/assembly defects
- Excess and obsolete inventories
- Labor (human resource) and machine utilization
- On-time delivery
- Maintenance / downtime / system/software updates
Ultimately, our manufacturing clients choose us to implement and support their ERP systems because they know the job will get done. We have a good track record of finishing on time and within budget.
