Is it time to get more out of your ERP?

As crazy as it sounds, we’re about to enter the 2nd half of 2023. How are you doing on your 2023 goals? Planning for 2024 projects?

Maybe it's time to get more out of your Infor ERP system.

⇒⇒ TIME TO UPGRADE?

Is an upgrade to the latest version of Infor LN or Infor LX the goal for 2023/2024? If so, Crossroads RMC brings 35+ years of industry experience to the table to ensure that your upgrade achieves the results you’re looking for and does so on time and on budget. Our goal is to delight your users and maximize the efficiencies that your business can gain from implementing best-of-breed business practices.

Crossroads RMC's team of expert consultants will:

  • Review your custom components to see what can be eliminated
  • Provide an analysis of the specific benefits that your company can achieve by upgrading
  • Train your users on the latest functionality
  • Support your users on the old version while the project team focuses on the upgrade project
  • Handle the entire upgrade project from start to finish
  • Supplement your existing project team with 1-2 key resources
  • Develop the integration to that 3rd party system that is a MUST-HAVE when you upgrade


⇒⇒ NOT UPGRADING?

We know that an upgrade isn’t in the cards for many of you. That shouldn’t stop you from achieving measurable improvements for 2023 with your current version of Infor LN / Baan or Infor LX / BPCS.

Crossroads RMC's team of expert consultants will: 

  • Assist with implementing a new module in your Infor ERP
  • Train new employees, or retrain existing employees to ensure that best practices are being utilized
  • Automate your most time-consuming processes
  • Integrate that stand-alone 3rd party system that isn’t currently tied to your Infor ERP
  • Perform an assessment or utilization review of one part of your ERP to see if anything can be improved

OFF SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE WITH INFOR AND FEEL STUCK?

Not true! Crossroads RMC can facilitate a conversation with an Infor representative that specializes in working with customers that have been off of support & maintenance for a number of years. Together we can put together a plan to economically get your support & maintenance restarted which can give you options for the future.

Our goal is your goal…to help you finish 2023 strong and make 2024 the best year possible for your business. Crossroads RMC consultants are ready to jumpstart your plans to make sure your goals are achieved.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Just-in-Time (JIT) is a management philosophy that focuses on minimizing the resources necessary to add value to your products and to operate your factory in ways that eliminate waste. Resources are labor, materials, equipment, space, and time. Waste is anything that does not add value to your products. Moving work-in-process from place to place, stacking and sorting, investing capital in large work-in-process and raw material inventories, inspecting materials at your vendors' sites, and tying up warehouse space with finished goods are all activities that add cost, not value, to your products. 

JIT is a process that reduces lead time. JIT does not replace an MRP, an inventory program, a scheduling technique to bypass your Master Schedule, or a materials management project. JIT is the never-ending commitment of everyone, from top management to your workers on the floor, to maximize your effectiveness through continuous, incremental improvements.

To create and maintain shop orders use SFC500 Shop Order Entry Maintenance. These orders use the standard bill of material (BOM) as the base list of components. You can also set up standard routings, which list the operations,

or work steps, involved in manufacturing.

 

To release shop orders, use the Shop Order Release program, SFC505. Infor ERP LX groups shop orders by user ID for batch processing. Use Shop Packet Print, SFC520, to print the shop orders that you select. SFC530 allows you to create multi-level shop orders to link shop orders together with a common end item parent. Linking multiple shop orders together for a final assembly product provides support for make-to-order and engineer-to-order manufacturing environments which need to schedule these multiple orders together or as a vertical slice in the production schedule.

 

You can make changes to shop orders after you print them. Use Shop Order Entry/Maintenance, SFC500, to update the shop orders. Changes are immediately visible on the inquiry screens for SFC300 and SFC350. To reprint the shop packet, use Reprint Shop Packet, SFC560.
