Measuring Mixed-mode Benefits

Managers will always cite transparency, visibility, and having meaningful data from across the organization as the best approach to obtaining a 360-degree view of the business’s operations. Compare this approach to one where an organization has many systems working independently of one another: here, delivering timely information to both clients and management is extremely time-consuming, and there is the risk that information may not be received when it is needed. Here are some of the additional benefits an organization can gain from a mixed-mode ERP system:

• elimination of duplicate processing of work orders’ production results
• improved inventory accuracy
• reduction in the time it takes to process orders
• measurements in inventory accuracy and supplier performance
• reports related to order delivery performance
• the ability to set parameters related to key performance indicators and to display these in a web portal
A Final Thought

If your organization has grown as a result of an acquisition or a merger, you need to harmonize disparate legacy systems into a streamlined solution that can capture a wide variety of manufacturing processes. Perhaps it is time to take a look at how a mixed-mode ERP system can benefit your organization and address your needs for greater control and visibility.
