Advanced Manufacturing Profiles Project-based ERP Leader Visibility
Andover, MA, September 28, 2006 --(PR.com)-- According to the manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler in the September issue of Advanced Manufacturing, “Many difficulties in business process management relate to “off-system” manual tasks, such as notification, investigation, authorization, and follow up. The ability to automate business process through the use of workflow templates make it easier to control and administer stated processes through the necessary steps.”
A flow or process may have been documented outside of an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, where there is no formal way to ensure compliance. In the past, paper documents and unmanaged email have provided the best solutions, but with no controls to ensure visibility and compliance, the value was limited. According to Stephen Carson, Executive vice-president of Visibility Corporation, “The .net workflow system enforces the process. This allows companies to improve and standardize daily functions across the company without burdensome manual administration. This provides employees visibility into the status of “in-process” tasks, making it easier for them to execute their tasks effectively.”
In “make-to-stock” environment, business processes can remain stable and unchanged for many years, or until a new product line is developed. In a “to-order” environment business processes are significantly influenced by the nature of the order or contract being executed. Not only can each order or contract involve different type of process, but the value of contracts can have a significant influence.
Automating business processes streamlines business operations thus minimizing overhead costs and forcing disciplines based on best practices. Together this helps preserve the integrity of the business data and ensures the users of the ERP system adhere to the process that are set by the business. Process compliance assures the best value for the business efforts, helps to contain costs and maintain the value of corporate data. Carson notes, “Process flow mapping and tracking of business events guarantees that employees are automatically notified when important events occur, or when a transaction requires input. This ensures that cycle times of critical and complex business process are optimized.”
