Often inadequate management intervention in the business is the problem, and the software cannot substitute for the management process.<\/p>\n<p>How does an organization take any structured decision to identify which software will best suit their needs and resolve their problems when they have not clarified their manufacturing issues?<\/p>\n<p>Once all of the data and processes have been tidied up, the Factory Review can be initiated.\u00a0 Generally, this occurs in a number of phases:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparatory Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The organization has tidied up the obvious non-operational problems.\u00a0 It now has a clearer picture of its operations and their problems. The first part of the process is to identify where the problem lies.\u00a0 Which problems will the software solve?\u00a0 Are they actually root cause problems or symptoms?\u00a0 Does it actually need the software, or is it a fundamental problem elsewhere impacting on the process?\u00a0 How ready is that process?<\/p>\n<p>As a guideline, some questions need to be answered at this stage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first question is \u201cWhat business are you in?\u201d This needs to be carefully understood.\u00a0 It is this question that is fundamental to everything that follows.\u00a0 An organization can be in more than one business \u2013 it is governed by how they define themselves \u2013 for example, are they in movement solutions or a vehicle hire?\u00a0 Again, agreement across the business is important at this point.<\/li>\n<li>Do the functional strategies align with the business choices? A good example here is an organization targeting high volume, low cost products but having labor intensive machines.<\/li>\n<li>Does the organizational strategy align with the goals and objectives of the implementation? The manufacturing software is a tool to help the organization achieve specific goals based upon the goals that have been identified, and not resolve poor strategy. <em>By implementing software x, we address \u201cgoal a\u201d which requires a tool to fix problem 1, 2, 3, etc.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interactive Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This phase is a \u201cfirst-pass Factory Review\u201d and is characterized by regular collaboration between the organization and the software consultants.\u00a0 This is now to align the software consultants and the organization, and takes some time to agree the best fit map of the process.<\/p>\n<p>A factory is a special ecosystem of many components and it requires stability and nurturing.\u00a0 It does not handle being bounced around on a daily basis, hence an MES is a good start to bring stability and improve efficiencies.\u00a0 There are a multitude of issues that need to be uncovered during the Factory Review process, and unfortunately take a while to resolve due to the interconnected nature of the issues.<\/p>\n<p>The software helps achieve the last 40% of the improvement curve,<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/za.syspro.com\/blog\/erp-and-technology\/why-people-participation-is-crucial-for-technological-change\/\"> the first 60% of the curve is the responsibility of the leadership.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As this stage draws to a close, the level of agreement within the leadership will be very high.\u00a0 Each process will have a finalized map and related analysis clearly showing the processes as they will be configured into the software. \u00a0The organization is now ready to embark upon the Formal Phase of the Factory Review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Formal Phase <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The organization has designed its processes and the formal Factory Review now takes place to document and design the software configuration.<\/p>\n<p>The first problem is that understanding a factory takes some time and experience. It requires a learned approach, and not simply a walk through the factory \u2013 more likely a number of walks through the factory, and a number of discussions around the possibilities and requirements of the implementation.<\/p>\n<p>There are different formats for this Factory Review, and some high level information is required to complete the picture.\u00a0 However, a vast quantity of detail is also required.\u00a0 Often, this is not at the correct level, and is generally insufficient which delays the process. The better the organization has prepared for the formal Factory Review, the quicker and more accurate the implementation will be, and the faster the return on the investment will be realized.<\/p>\n<p>The old carpenter\u2019s adage best describes this process \u2013<strong> \u201cmeasure twice, cut once\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/za.syspro.com\/blog\/erp-for-manufacturing\/why-the-factory-review-part-1\/\"><strong>These two blogs<\/strong> <\/a>have covered the level of preparation needed for an effective implementation.\u00a0 Some may not require this level of detail. However, a number of implementations have found the organization to be hopelessly under-prepared, \u00a0delayed the implementation and ROI significantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The organization is investing a sizable sum of money and resources to ensure that their manufacturing improves, and the expectation is that this investment will be recovered.\u00a0 However, the organization needs to prepare itself for a fundamental change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":168,"featured_media":7395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-erp-for-manufacturing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Factory Review | 3 Phase Approach | What do you do next? | ERP<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Factory Review has 3 critical phases, How do you really improve your manufacturing?
