Operations

Is your planning process cumbersome and time consuming?  If so, does it limit your responsiveness to change?
A cumbersome planning process will lead to missed opportunities, lengthy lead times, high inventory levels, slow response rates, and obsolete components sitting on shelves.

As an Operations Manager, you are responsible for contributing to the activities required to create and deliver your organisation’s  goods or services, producing the right amount of a good or service, at the right time, of the right quality and at the right cost to meet customer requirements.

Supply chain relationships with vendors and business partners are critical to effective distribution. Close connection with sales and finance helps ensure that realistic projections drive production and accurate costing informs the company’s financial management.

Decision making is a central role of all operations managers. Decisions need to be made in designing, managing, and improving the operations system.

The operations system encompasses different departments, including research and development, engineering, materials, production, plant management, purchasing, warehousing, and shipping and receiving. To facilitate collaboration among departments, ERT Group provides a business management solution to provide a single source of data and platform for shared processes. This business management solution serves as a shared source of data and processes for those departments, helping them work together to achieve business success.

Using a single system for different department helps to ensure that all orders are complete and filled in a timely and accurate manner. And an integrated system allows your company to manage exceptions as smoothly as possible. Managers have access to the same source of information, so everyone is kept up to date on customer demand, materials shipments, and production schedules.
