I hate getting lost. I feel out of control and helpless. Thank God my dad taught me early on how to read a map. Maps give us direction, points of reference, and helps us navigate the obstacles in our way.  

Do you have roadmap for your ERP system, or are you lost? An ERP roadmap can give your staff direction. It should help you create a stronger workforce that is well prepared to meet the future needs of your business. Take a hard look at what your ERP is, or isn’t doing for you. Chances are, there is much that can be done, and all you need to do is start plotting out your map.

Crenlo, a leading manufacturer of cab and enclosure products, has elected to expand their partnership with Crossroads RMC to achieve greater efficiency within their operations. Phase 1 of the implementation will include RMCship (FedEx/UPS integration with Baan), RMCbuild (analysis of current inventory for production needs), Paperless Pick Web Collect Data Collection for their service orders and remote warehouse, and the development of a web-based quality inspection application which will be integrated with their Baan ERP system. 

Cross Docking can provide significant improvements in efficiency by looking for outstanding requirements for an item (production orders, sales orders, replenishment orders) and automatically assigning the incoming item to that requirement instead of putting the item away into inventory, only to retrieve it later. Consider implementing cross-docking at your facility.
