The ERP.COM
Continuous IT Improvement
Service helps companies keep their
information systems effective for their
changing needs. Specific steps are:
-
A
general review of your company to
identify business drivers and critical
success factors.
An
assessment of your manufacturing
software requirements and a
benchmarking of how effectively your
current software systems meet these
requirements (details in The
SoftSelect Process document).
With
the assistance of the SoftSelect
product research database, we compare
capabilities of software solutions in
the marketplace with your
requirements. Shows the potential for
and value of improvements.
High-level
cost/benefit analysis to test the
potential payback and ROIs for
improvement opportunities. Many
changes can be effected on
underutilized systems at a low cost.
Effect
easily achieved or high-payback
improvement opportunities; plan for
other improvements.
A brief and
structured monthly interview with
department managers can detect the need
for an incremental system change. When
this monitoring identifies improvement
opportunities, a measured and managed
process can be conducted to effect them.
For complex or costly improvements,
monthly monitoring against ROI targets
is a superb means to detect when it
makes financial sense to effect these
changes.

Deliverables

System Effectiveness Report, which
