Harnessing the Power of AI to Help Manufacturers Sell More at the Right Time

AI: Transforming Manufacturing—From Production to Profitability

As AI reshapes industries, manufacturers ask critical questions: How will customers discover and purchase products in an AI-driven world? And how can companies keep pace with these advancements?

At Crossroads RMC, we address these challenges with our AI Readiness Assessment (AIRA). An AIRA creates a clear, actionable digital roadmap, significantly boosting efficiency, accuracy, and strategic capabilities. This assessment ensures a smooth, swift AI transition.

AI Readiness Assessment targets key Financial areas:

  • Cash Flow Management: AI improves cash flow forecasting, identifying potential shortfalls before they impact operations.

  • Cost Control: By analyzing spending patterns, AI reveals areas for cost reduction; maintaining quality and efficiency.

  • Financial Forecasting: AI uses historical data and market trends to enhance forecasting accuracy, empowering strategic financial decisions.

AI Readiness Assessment targets key Operations areas:

  • Production Planning: AI optimizes production planning by analyzing data and forecasting demand, helping to balance workloads and minimize downtime.
  • Supply Chain Disruptions: AI predicts potential disruptions and suggests alternative suppliers or routes, enhancing supply chain resilience.
  • Quality Control: AI detects defects in real-time and predicts quality issues before they occur, leading to higher consistency and fewer recalls.


AI Readiness Assessment targets key Technology areas:

  • Data Management: AI organizes, analyzes, and develops actionable insights from data.
  • Security and Compliance: AI enhances cybersecurity measures by detecting anomalies and potential threats in real-time, and automates compliance checks to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
  • Performance Monitoring: AI continuously monitors system performance and identifies areas for improvement, ensuring optimal operation.
     

AI Readiness Assessment target key Executive areas:

  • Operational Visibility: AI integrates data from various sources to provide real-time visibility into all aspects of the business, enhancing oversight and control.
  • Risk Management: AI analyzes market trends, supply chain data, and internal processes to identify potential risks and recommend mitigation strategies.

These programs are used to capture and post shop floor information. Labor reporting, machine time, etc. can be captured by either program. The key difference is that one will also capture the production receipt and backflush components. Based on your company information / transaction process, one of these programs will most likely be used daily to capture current shop floor data. You can use the shop packet labor ticket for the manual recording, and the keying of the data. Alternatively, you can incorporate an automated method like an MES solution to capture the data and streamline the process.

The bubble number is maintained at the component level for each component defined on the Bill of Material. It is an extra user-defined reference number that you can use to re-sequence the maintenance screen display or bills of material listings.

In Infor LX, the system displays the bubble number for the existing child items. Engineering drawings often use a bubble number at the component level on the drawing so that same bubble number can be used on the Bill of Material for a link of the component to the drawing. Alternatively, you may use it simply as a method to sequence the BOM.

Be careful of how you assign the number. It is a good idea to assign the number with a consecutive count by 10 leaving room to allow for component additions to the Bill of Material.
