Ensuring A Successful ERP Implementation – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Companies justify moving to a standard enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution based on several compelling reasons. By supporting a single system rather than several smaller and disparate systems, they can enjoy economies of scale. Additionally, having a single application architecture with fewer user interfaces creates lower integration costs. Plus, with common task automation and easier access to more information, businesses gain efficiencies not available when employees use multiple systems.

While the case for standardizing on a single ERP system can be relatively straightforward to make, the costs and impacts are sometimes easy to overlook. Companies should take into consideration several factors to help ensure a successful implementation.

Today’s field service organizations are faced with the challenge of transforming decades-old business processes into efficient, cost-effective, and customer-centric practices using the complete set of technological tools available today.

Service organizations’ inability to execute these critical business processes is what we refer to as the field force execution gap.

Senior-level executives are at the core of any big departmental change. Success and failure rest on their shoulders. They need to be involved. Despite the pressure of this role, you can help them understand they don’t need to do everything.

Their job is to ensure new strategies aligned with overall business goals and changes are laid out for employees. Your job is to convince them that Field Service Management (FSM) software does align with business goals and explain how you’ll handle the transition. Take some pressure off executives by showing them you’ve done the research to get the program off the ground and you understand what it takes to succeed.

IoT Solutions For The Field Service Industry – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Equipment manufacturers eager to capture more of the lifetime revenue stream generated by their machinery sales know that quality product support is one of the most important after-market success drivers. Product support also represents a major share of equipment dealer personnel investment and revenue.

Field service and product support executives need to look no further than the valuable data their machines are producing for the key to unlocking growth in the after-market. Indeed, access to troves of machine performance, diagnostic and maintenance data hold great promise for positively impacting customer service experiences through a more proactive, preventive approach to product support. But having the data is only the start. Sophisticated machine telematics technology and the data it produces often stand in stark contrast to the largely manual, paper-based means of delivering and tracking field service for many construction equipment manufacturers and dealers.

So what is standing in the way of forward-looking construction equipment firms seeking to translate machine data into field service automation? There are many commonplace problems we hear from manufacturers, each presenting unique challenges. Each of the following common problems we encounter also includes a practical planning consideration.

Imagine what you could do with instant, accurate machine data and process information directly from the machine. Even depth and dimension are within reach with the help of a manufacturing execution system (MES). Medical parts, supply, and equipment manufacturers use MES for real-time production monitoring and analysis to improve throughput, boost quality, and reduce scrap. You can achieve more capacity with the same machines and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)—working more efficiently and profitably. This white paper highlights four ways to boost your performance with the right manufacturing execution system.

Four Ways To Unlock Hidden Manufacturing Capacity – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Many of today’s manufacturers are experiencing growth and increased production. Volume is steadily rising for many, and manufacturers are often dealing with how to meet increasing demand.

With your manufacturing operations already running close to capacity, some of the traditional ways of gaining new capacity are to make large capital investments or to outsource some of the new manufacturing demand. These are challenging tactics, because getting new resources in line will take time, and there’s no guarantee that the numbers will continue to climb.

However, you do have a third option. You can meet increased demand by freeing up needed resources within your current operations. The key is having access to real-time manufacturing information and using it to identify areas of improvement within your existing operations.

Cloud ERP For Job Shops And Manufacturers – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

In the face of growing competition and a challenging business climate, many job shops and manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce costs, streamline operations, and improve the bottom line. Implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is a proven solution for running a business efficiently and effectively. Yet, a large percentage of manufacturers have held back from implementing an ERP system due to high initial costs, long implementation times, and competing demands for time and resources.

This paper describes how the Software as a Service (SaaS) model (more commonly known as ‘the cloud’) delivers financial, implementation, and operational benefits to job shops and manufacturers. It also details cloud deployed Epicor ERP meets the needs of job shops and manufacturers. Job shops and manufacturers can leverage Epicor ERP—and cloud technology to ‘punch above their weight—increasing effectiveness.

Manage Employee Performance Better With Epicor ERP – White Paper

Manage Employee Performance Better With Epicor ERP – White Paper

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Talent management is quickly becoming the human resource industry’s hottest buzz term. Preparing your workforce for the future is important. Equally important yet often overlooked, however, is managing your employees in the present. How your employees are performing today sets the foundation for how your workforce will look in the future. Don’t overlook the importance of performance management and optimizing your workforce today.

Managing employee performance may seem like a common sense business practice, but a recent study revealed that many employees have never had a performance review or found their review to be not useful. Though this number is troubling, it is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to performance management—while slightly more than 40 percent of employees are receiving useful feedback from employees, it does not include those employees who don’t receive continued support or guidance from their employers. Performance management goes beyond an annual performance review. It involves keeping employees engaged and motivated to achieve a high level of professional success. How do you manage this? There are three main steps to increase employee performance today.

  1. Work with employees to set defined goals.
  2. Make these goals challenging yet achievable.
  3. Provide consistent feedback.

Sounds simple enough, right? It can be if you have just a handful of employees to manage. On the other hand, managing the performance of a sizeable workforce can be more challenging. By implementing best practices for performance management company-wide, you can increase the likelihood that employees will be doing their best work possible while reducing the ineffectiveness of a fragmented performance management policy.
