VJES (Visual Job Execution Software) for Infor LN & Baan

Kathy Barthelt 0 16534 Article rating: 5.0

In a recent study on employee training and trends in manufacturing, the following results were obtained:

  1. Improved Learning Retention: People retain about 80% of what they see and do, compared to only 20% of what they read. This makes VWIs, which combine visuals and hands-on action, significantly more effective for training.
  2. Reduced Errors: VWIs help minimize mistakes by providing clear, step-by-step guidance. Companies that have switched from traditional text-heavy instructions to visual formats report a notable decrease in errors, leading to better quality assurance. 
  3. Faster Onboarding: New employees can reach full productivity much quicker with VWIs. Some organizations have cut training time by nearly 50%, allowing workers to learn at their own pace with minimal supervision.

​Every manufacturer relies on a few core metrics to manage operations: efficiency, productivity, capacity, and labor and equipment utilization. These benchmarks are used worldwide to assess performance and process effectiveness.

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Synchronize users from LX to SiM in batch

George Moroses 0 5847 Article rating: 5.0

This enhancement improves performance by submitting to batch the automatic synchronization of changes from LX user maintenance (SYS600) to System i Manager (SiM). During LX user maintenance, there are now three possible approaches to synchronizing the LX user changes to SiM, controlled by system parameters. Synchronizing LX user changes to SiM in batch allows the person executing SYS600 to continue with additional maintenance or other transactions without waiting for the synchronization to finish.

"Apologies, boss, but at the moment, we are unable to contribute to advancing the business."

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Imagine delivering this message to your boss or the company president. What would their response likely be? It's improbable that they would respond with, "That's perfectly fine; we can delay implementing this significant initiative that could potentially save us a substantial amount of money and give us a competitive edge. Please let us know when you have the availability to work on it." In reality, they would probably want you to add this new task to your already overflowing to-do list, wouldn't they?

Nonetheless, you'd probably comply because it's the responsible thing to do and it's crucial for the company. But what happens to all the other tasks you were initially supposed to work on? They end up lingering on your to-do list indefinitely.

But what if they didn't have to remain in limbo? What if you could shift your focus to critical projects that propel the business forward while still managing the lower-priority tasks that still need attention? This is where outsourced IT and ERP support services come into play.

Managing ERP systems is undeniably intricate and time-intensive, and staying ahead of issues to identify, prevent, and resolve them before they escalate is essential. Can you truly afford to set aside this critical work for something else?

Crossroads RMC offers a comprehensive range of support services, ensuring round-the-clock coverage, 365 days a year, to handle the most challenging support issues, right down to the most routine ones. Our services encompass everything from software updates and maintaining highly customized environments to diagnosing financial integration errors and investigating discrepancies between your production output and inventory records.
