At Revolution Group, we understand that a manufacturing ERP system is always evolving to keep pace with constant changes in manufacturing. Our focus is to maximize your productivity and return on investment in Plex Manufacturing Cloud by forging strong relationships and delivering technical manufacturing solutions to everyday challenges. That’s why we offer ERP Continuous Improvement services which adhere to our refined system implementation methodology.
What is Continuous Improvement?
The American Society for Quality defines Continuous Improvement as “…the ongoing improvement of products, services or processes through incremental and breakthrough improvements. These efforts can seek ‘incremental’ improvement over time or ‘breakthrough’ improvement all at once.”
Revolution Group brings the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle to your manufacturing environment through the lens of your ERP technology. Ensuring your ERP solution is running at peak performance and giving you the best return on your investment, Continuous Improvement will provide you with processes and automation that you may never have known were possible.
Continuous Improvement will help prioritize smaller projects and initiatives with incremental steps to improve your business processes and the use of the system. It maintains ongoing progression and forward movement.
Why Continuous Improvement?
Enable transformation in your manufacturing operations through incremental improvements. Mitigate or eliminate waste and increase productivity. Every organization can improve their business processes and optimize their use of technology.
- Did scope, budget or timing constraints limit the value of your initial implementation?
- Are you working for technology OR is technology working for you?
- Did your organization lose energy after an initial implementation, leaving you with a stagnant solution?
- Have your business requirements evolved to keep up with your customers and market?
- Have your processes changed to improve quality or meet regulatory standards?
- Is there innovative technology or functionality that was previously unavailable that lessens or resolves a pain point?
