ERP to Shop Floor describes how we can bring visibility throughout an enterprise, from the executive level, all the way to the shop floor.
Why is it Important to Bring Visibility to the Enterprise?
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. And, measuring a single device, or even a system does not empower manufacturers to manage across their operations, unless it is done in the context of other systems and the business operations. That visibility of data, in context with the rest of the operation is what we mean by intelligence.
Visibility to shop floor intelligence allows employees to stay informed, empowers them to take action when necessary and motivates them by providing real-time performance feedback.
At the managerial level, visibility delivers KPIs to executives and managers based on their unique roles or needs, cutting through data overload and allowing them to make real-time, cost-saving decisions.
Why is Real-time Information Important?
Reports capture a historical snapshot of a point in time (or a series of points) to provide manufacturers critical historical trends and an accounting of what has happened. It is a look back. While important and useful, standard reporting often does not deliver that intelligence at the right time and in the right context. The decision maker may be unable to take advantage of an opportunity or address an issue, until well after the fact, or even too late.
Real-time intelligence empowers decision makers with the ability to take immediate action on the intelligence they are receiving in real-time – further optimizing and supporting operational excellence and continuous improvement efforts.
