Infor LX & BPCS: Waste in Manufacturing

In manufacturing, waste is anything that doesn’t add value to or benefit the end customer. Reducing waste enables manufacturers to save money and increase productivity. Where is the waste happening in your processes?

How often is your department spending time and resources on the following tasks?

Manufacturing:

  • Correcting repeated problems with production quality
  • Juggling manual production schedules
  • Holding up production due to delayed component deliveries
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material resource needs


Materials:

  • Correcting deliveries with missing or wrong items
  • Sending overstocked inventory back to a warehouse or other location
  • Searching for raw materials, tools, or other equipment
  • Waiting on a late delivery from a supplier


Finance:

  • Managing increasing carrying costs of inventory
  • Dealing with budget overruns on projects
  • Managing cash flow due to unnecessarily long lead times and shipment times
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material costs to get overall production costs down


Company-wide:

  • Correcting repeated problems with production quality
  • Correcting deliveries with missing or wrong items
  • Holding up production due to delayed component deliveries
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material costs to get overall production costs down


What if you could eliminate these problems by spending $5/day?

Crossroads MES (Manufacturing Execution System) captures all of your ERP production data and harnesses the power of that data to “UP” your team’s efficiency by providing the right information at the right time to the right people to eliminate waste and optimize your business.
