Improving productivity requires making changes at various points throughout your operation. One area often overlooked; either due to lack of funding, time or resistance to change, is with the manufacturing ERP software. This software can help to improve your manufacturing productivity in numerous ways, here are a few examples.
Including a downtime module in your manufacturing ERP software will give you the ability to analyze line, machine, or work center downtime and rejects. Some software packages available have the capability to connect to PLCs or other plant floor automation to gather this data. Gathering this data and displaying it as it is happening, or in real time, allowing those on the plant floor to detect any problems while minimize interruptions and poor productivity. This capability also allows you to see a problem before production starts and avoid quality issues.
Automation does not have to occur in only certain areas of your manufacturing ERP software. Some of the primary areas organizations generally try to automate in the beginning of implementation are the production reporting and scheduling/job tracking areas. By implementing a production reporting and data collection system users will have access to printing custom and standard reports. Many software systems will even allow these reports to be exported to Excel.
Large amounts of time and headaches will be saved with the automation of production scheduling and job tracking functionality. With just a few clicks you can drag and drop jobs placing them ahead of other jobs or relocating them on a different machine. Because these changes can happen in real time and show up automatically you will not have to alert everyone on the shop floor of these changes.
Improving your productivity will take some small and very large changes to your organization. Implementing a manufacturing ERP software package that has your needs in mind and will be focused on improving your productivity will be a larger return on investment than most can envision.
