Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper-based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data.
- Is the information captured correctly?
- Can everyone access the information?
- Is this an accurate representation of what’s going on across all operations?
Make your shop floor paperless and put systems in place that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.
If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.
