Leveraging Technology to Improve Operational Effectiveness
In an effort to improve operational effectiveness in manufacturing, companies have been using IT technology to relook at the standardization of all levels of operation. Since Henry Ford and the beginning of mass production, standardization has been essential, and there are always improvements necessary to something as big as mass production paired with something as precise as standardization. It’s inevitable. And technological innovations are one of the best ways to form a solution.
ERP Standardizations
“ERP systems are business management software solutions that allow organizations to integrate applications to manage processes and automate back office functions.” That from a recent Sikich article on the impact of ERP standardization on manufacturers.
Data drives decisions, and ERP systems provides the data collection and reporting technologies needed to make those organization-aligning decisions. Not only that, but leveraging ERP technology gets rid of unnecessary processes that reduce time spent on specific tasks, making way for manufacturers to engage more with customers and suppliers.
It’s no wonder that having an ERP system in place is a latest trend in manufacturing. Among other advantages, it has the capacity to standardize knowledge throughout the organization, which is, after all, one of the main purposes of information technology.
