It is against this backdrop that global manufacturers are getting back to the basics and focusing attention on their core manufacturing capabilities. Why now? Fortune 1000 manufacturers have been in the midst of massive ERP rollouts and consolidations – these are wrapping up and businesses are slowly discovering that ERP alone is not enough to achieve the level of operational excellence many had hoped for – or been promised. Companies have also been working to lean out their supply chains and procurement processes, and are awakening to the realization that manufacturing – or you can think of is as the ability to reliably supply product into these lean supply chains - is a critical capability that’s been starved for investments for nearly a decade. So if you look at what the gating factor is for making that next leap in operational excellence, it boils down to manufacturing itself. There’s been a lot of talk about demand visibility and the impact of demand visibility on performance. In fact, benchmarking studies we’ve done here at AMR show that slight increases in demand visibility yield substantial improvements in what we call “perfect order” performance – and profitability. Industry leaders have figured this out, but when you look at the leaders, they’ve also invested in the manufacturing capabilities needed to respond to the demand. So the real takeaway here is that even demand visibility isn’t enough if you can’t respond to that demand with high quality products out of the gate. In short – you can have the best demand visibility in the world, but it’s not going to matter if you can’t get a quality product out the door. Example statement: I mentioned earlier the fact that Plant Apps closes the loop between the business systems and the plant floor. This slide illustrates some of the capabilities and provides an overview of how the system would connect to, and interact with, the enterprise and the shop floor operators and systems.
