Manufacturing: How much time are you wasting on manual processes?

Crossroads RMC 0 29359 Article rating: 5.0

It tells us that there is a great need for a review of your manufacturing processes.

ERP Reports: Get EXACTLY what you need when you need it for as little as $125/user/month

Crossroads RMC 0 31055 Article rating: 5.0

Everyone understands the importance of ERP reporting, but what if you’re relying on the wrong reports?

Having access to ERP data in a usable format allows for a common understanding and the ability to take action based on what the data is telling you. What do you do if the way your data is presented is not useful, or flat out wrong?

How can your reports be wrong? That would mean that the data is wrong, wouldn’t it?
Not necessarily. Reports are wrong because they are stagnant. They represent the truth ONLY at the moment they are run. If that data is shared with others within your organization, the information the report(s) is trying to convey has already changed. Decisions are then made on bad information.
