Disconnected data – What is it?

​ The spreadsheet that your warehouse manager has off to the side to track his inventory levels and expected shipments from your key suppliers.

 The email orders from your dealer portal waiting to be manually keyed into your ERP. 

Disconnected data is a set of information stored separately from the main system that is used to run your business (your ERP system). The data is valuable and lack of visibility to that data creates problems throughout the organization. Far more than you realize.

Avoid Being a Quitter

As the calendar flips to January 1st, it marks the beginning of a new year filled with fresh opportunities and resolutions. It's that time when many of us set ambitious goals for ourselves, both personally and professionally. But, how often do these aspirations fizzle out before we even hit the second Friday of the year? It's so common that they even call it "Quitter's Day." However, it's not too late to stay on track and realize your ambitions. In this article, we'll focus on the professional side of goal-setting and how Crossroads RMC can be your ally in achieving manufacturing excellence.

Step 1: Make Your Goals Bite-Sized

While it might be accurate (and I emphasize "might"), is a Manual Physical Inventory the optimal approach? Best practices unequivocally say otherwise!

A superior alternative is the adoption of Cycle Counting. Why choose Cycle Counting over a complete physical inventory? This method zeroes in on a selected stock range, allowing concurrent execution with a company's regular operations. Cycle Counts offers a streamlined approach to inventory management, minimizing disruptions to processes related to stock receipt, consumption, or dispatch.

The dreaded "freeze" is no longer a necessity, sparing your staff from extended holiday hours, and ensuring accurate inventory counts throughout the year! Crossroads RMC is poised to assist you in implementing Cycle Counting efficiently and effortlessly.

Consider this...

Your team is currently engaged in a critical project for your top client. However, to ensure the project's timely completion and high customer satisfaction, it's imperative to expand your team. You're aware that the recruitment process is time-consuming, and finding highly qualified individuals who don't require extensive training, especially in your ERP system and your specific business, is a challenging task.

Or perhaps this situation sounds familiar...

Your ERP system is running sluggishly, and you're aware that there are updates available that could enhance system performance. Unfortunately, your IT specialist is currently occupied with other tasks, and there's uncertainty about when the upgrade can be executed.

Both of these scenarios reflect the challenges businesses face in our era of rapid technological advancement. To maintain competitiveness, it's essential to meet client demands and ensure the smooth operation of internal systems, preventing any hindrances to current production. The hard reality is that your success hinges on having expert staff who can make an immediate, positive impact on your business.

So, how can you consistently maintain the right team size and composition to address contemporary challenges when hiring new personnel is a costly, protracted process?
