Companies have Software and technology.

Do you have Sales and Operations Plans for a tough economy?

• Companies have installed enterprise software systems and now realize that the need to change their business processes to gain major benefits from the investments made in technology.

• The CEO and the VPS’ will lead the steering committee to implement Sales and operations planning. Our Company is more than software systems and how they work. Rather, it is about how to implement superior business processes that yield a competitive advantage. ERP Enterprise Resource Planning is not software.  It is not about Baan, Oracle, SAP or other point systems that manage quality, manufacturing execution or customer relationships.

• Companies use individual point systems to manage many processes.

   

  Examples include: sales forecasting and Customer relationship,

                                B2B for shop floor data collection in MFG,

                                 Quality management,

                                (Sales contracts, purchases, shipments and financial consolidations.)

   

  To achieve better Sales and Operations Planning. This is evident in several key areas. From  a sales perspective, the effort is to examine how sales people enter information into a system that can produce an accurate forecast. From a operations perspective, Manufacturing is focusing on the data that is collected from the shop floor operations.

   

  This is the first step of Sales and Operations Planning.  This is the first step of what we call the “Proven Path for an Enterprise system. It is paramount that “processes plus people” meet with corporate goals.
