SUMMARY:Strategies for Success in Manufacturing Software Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintOver half (50 – 70%) of ERP projects fail. Despite the high costs incurred in failure\, and the prominence of these projects\, the success rate has not improved. Why? \nSurveys and anecdotal reports consistently cite time\, budgets\, and lack of senior management involvement\, but those are external factors to the direct implementation processes which should be followed and are normally the result of insufficient information prior to commencing with the project. \nWhat elements of the project are under your immediate control and set the stage to eliminate these common failure reasons? \nThere are standard\, widely accepted processes required for a software implementation project\, including planning\, documenting\, training and testing. One critical task which is commonly not done or done poorly is a formal Business Process Review (BPR). Without  a solid BPR\, project requirements are not formally defined nor prioritized\, so the potential software features and design – which may not be related directly to your business goals — become the de facto requirements. Although the review may be done as part of the implementation project\, ultimately the BPR should be performed prior to selecting software\, so there is a basis and justification for the decision. \nJoin John Hoyt and Jane Scanlan\, co-founders of the Next Level Manufacturing Consulting Group to learn about the key elements of a great BPR that\, when done correctly\, will contribute to a higher probability of success for your project. These elements include: \n\nDocumenting standard business process functions and controls\nInterviewing key management and staff\nReviewing existing system features and related procedures\nGathering current forms and reports\nDeveloping process improvement recommendations\nDefining priorities\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Conducting Remote Audits in the Era of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe COVID-19 pandemic is necessitating rapid shifts in many company auditing processes as a means to assure compliance with EHS regulatory requirements and continued maintenance of EHS management systems. Work environments have changed with many facility staff being transitioned to remote work or staggered schedules. Business activities may have shifted to those minimum operations permitted by state order\, or those deemed critical for business sustainability. With limited access to the activities needing reviewed\, site staff and compliance records auditing teams need to rethink how audits are planned and conducted. In these uncertain economic times\, there is more than ever increased pressure to improve efficiency and maximize return on investment; all while meeting stakeholder expectations for the audit. \nMany companies that have been using remote auditing strategies for years have already seen the value-add for their programs. By using technology\, such as mobile tablets\, live video streaming\, and electronic cloud-based document sharing\, organizations are optimizing for efficiency and providing lasting positive business impacts. With the right tools\, your organization can conduct more effective audits in less time\, while also improving peer-to-peer collaboration\, reducing costs and continuing to meet compliance assurance expectations for your organization and stakeholder. \nJoin Gensuite LLC and Specialty Technical Consultants\, Inc (STC) to discuss remote auditing best practices including: \n\nKey considerations & recommendations for implementing remote audit processes\nLeveraging technology as the solution for remote site interviews\, walkthroughs\, and evaluations\nUtilizing remote auditing techniques\, such as live video streaming with remote experts\, to improve site performance and drive corrective actions to closure\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Assumptions - The Key to Successful Demand Planning
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintNo manufacturer can operate effectively without accurate and responsive demand planning. Poor demand planning results in overstock\, lost revenue\, and ultimately lost customers.

SUMMARY:Address Production Complexity Caused by Shorter Product Lifecycles
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintAs both business and end-user consumers demand greater product variety and more customizable options\, manufacturers face a pressing challenge to reimagine their production processes and capabilities to somehow reconcile increasing product complexity and mass customization needs with the demand for shorter product lifecycles. \nOne powerful solution to this challenge is by creating flexible plants and utilizing machines that offer increased automation capabilities\, which add the necessary capabilities to meet customer demand while also keeping product costs in check. However\, these solutions also add to the complexity of plant-design engineering. \nTo help mitigate this complexity\, manufacturers are turning to new software suites like Automation Designer to design electrical systems\, configure automation hardware and develop automation software code. Essentially\, they act as the central application for this reimagined production space. \nJoin us for this webinar to discover how use these tools in your enterprise can help you overcome today’s greatest innovation challenges\, including: \n\nMachine and Plant complexity\nCollaboration to increase engineering quality and reduce engineering time\nEnhanced digital twin to simulate operations and costs\nRule-based engineering to eliminate errors\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Improving Plant Efficiencies and Performance During Unstable Times
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintWith the current instability of national and local markets\, it is important to ensure that your facility is performing as efficiently as possible. The most efficient operations not only last through downturns but also expand the fastest once the market recovers. As such\, now is a great time to ensure that your manufacturing process is operating at top efficiency. \nPennTAP’s Economy\, Energy\, and Environment (E3) program brings together experts in continuous improvement\, energy efficiency\, and waste minimization to greatly improve plant efficiencies and performance. In this webinar\, PennTAP will review the E3 process and provide information on the first steps to improving your process. \nPeter Piergiovanni\, Pollution Prevention Coordinator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency\, will present on the E3 program’s background and methods. Royal Smith\, Technical Advisor for PennTAP\, will review the E3 process and stories from previous E3 event. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint
