Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Earlier this year I wrote a blog about motivating employees to do more… to be more. Doing this helps your business grow. Here is a link to my article> https://www.crossroadsrmc.com/Resources/Infor-ERP-Tips-News/its-not-all-about-the-money-money-money-motivating-employees-in-the-new-year-2

And I would like to share a link to a recent article from Industry Week giving a different take on the same idea.

1. Eliminate paper shop packet and distribution of the paperwork to the shop floor.     

2. Eliminate manual (paper-based) recording activities and the need to key in the transactions.

3. Easy electronic scheduling by sequence and changing job priorities.

4. Evaluate differences using actual times compared to standards.

5. Improve data accuracy and eliminate the need to chase and fix errors.

6. Practice Real-Time data reporting to monitor efficiencies and identify problems as they occur.
