You need a lean ERP solution that allows you to coordinate all aspects of your business to maximize efficiency.
The key initiative of lean is to maximize efficiency and reduce wasted effort. You need complete, real-time visibility from start to finish to streamline processes, reduce costs and promote continuous improvements.
Integrated Business Systems
Highly Trained Employees
Cultural Shift
Before implementing a lean manufacturing strategy, there are several considerations to make. You will need integrated business systems, workforces of highly trained employees and a radical shift in company culture. Each of these elements presents distinct challenges that must be overcome to achieve a truly efficient lean manufacturing system. Implementing a just-in-time ordering system is necessary to ensure that raw materials are constantly coming in at the perfect rate to meet operational demand. The new approach requires highly skilled and educated employees to inspect, repair and design the layout of automated production technology regularly. Choosing the right lean manufacturing solution is crucial for success as a lean manufacturer, because you will be relying on your systems for the continued efficient operation of your business. One of the tenets of lean business practices is to automate as much as possible, making you more reliant on technology than you may have been in the past. So where do you start?
