extends optimisation for
more cloud apps
Improve efficiency
Business growth is only profitable if it’s balanced with
increased inventory turns, streamlined processes,
efficiency gains and other operational cost savings.
Cloud solutions are ideally suited for improving the
efficiency of manufacturing operations because
they can help automate many of the typical steps
in business processes, replace manual activities and
virtually eliminate the need for duplicate data entry.
For instance, automating new product development
and introduction (NPDI) processes can help get your
products to market quicker.
Improve visibility
A cloud-based ERP system gives you complete
visibility across the entire organisation. For instance,
with access to information about your plant-floor
resources, you can make the most effective usage
of constrained resources, find areas where you can
increase throughput and efficiency and promote
better material and asset management. Being able to
see how all of the pieces fit together—in real time—
ultimately helps you operate more efficiently and
make better, faster decisions.
