Cloud-Based Business Solutions Suite Delivers Key Performance Improvements Real-time business visibility and end-to-end business management Many firms including those in the manufacturing sector have achieved more efficient and agile business operations by using cloud-based ERP. Executive Summary In the popular mind, manufacturing companies are old-school businesses, the polar opposites of high-tech software and services firms. In reality, manufacturing operations are among the most sophisticated users of advanced IT solutions. Factory floors are highly automated and precisely monitored, and they are fed by supply chains and inventories that must be coordinated and optimized. Once produced, manufactured goods must be shipped and tracked through often-complex distribution and retail networks, and a product s quality must be measured and ensured from its creation on the factory floor to its performance at the end customer. Given the breadth and diversity of their operations, manufacturers must be able to identify and measure key performance indicators (KPIs) for everything from their financial operations to their factory-floor and shipping efficiencies. By doing so, they have a baseline on which to improve and track their critical business processes and to achieve higher levels of business effectiveness and success. C. All rights reserved. 4
Addressing Manufacturing Industry Challenges Aligning business operations to meet these challenges Operational Challenges Supply Chain Challenges Financial: In addition to standard financial metrics, such as time to close the books and overall profitability, manufacturers must track everything from cost of materials to the value streams of individual production units. Reporting: Workers ranging from the finance team to factory-floor supervisors and workers need accurate and, often, real-time reports spanning the full range of relevant operations. Sourcing: Manufacturers must track parts and materials availability, costs and quality from both primary and secondary suppliers. Factory: Manufacturers must measure equipment, as well as worker, productivity and efficiency, production bottlenecks, inventory turns, and many other variables. Inventory: Inventory levels must be managed and balanced based on orders and forecasts, a particularly difficult task for lean/just-in-time manufacturing operations. Orders and Shipping: Orders for goods must be closely managed and matched with inventories and production, goods must be efficiently packaged and shipped. Customers: Manufacturers must ensure their customers, be they distributors or end buyers, are satisfied with the finished products they receive.
