Is your ERP system a 'silver bullet'?

Many businesses hope that their new MRP (or ERP) system will alleviate many of their business problems.

The good news - they can.

The bad news - incomplete setups and missing management practices won't release a system's full potential.

In many cases it is only a small tweak here and there that is required to make an MRP system go from being a 'lame duck' to a really powerful tool that the business can use.

A good MRP system really can make a difference:



  • Accurate inventory management


  • Shorter production lead times


  • Improved on time delivery performance


  • Better management visibility


  • Responsive delivery of products and services


  • Lower unit cost of production


    • Shortcuts based on experience

    My MRP Audit kit is based on practical experience.

    I help businesses to improve how they use and manage their MRP systems. The same is true for MRP II and ERP systems; they work on fundamental logic that has only changed marginally over the past four decades.

    The audit is quick to complete and gives you a fast method to generate an improvement plan. Or, put another way, complete the rapid audit and the gaps become your improvement plan.

    The image to the right is a screen shot of one of audit's page, which comes as a Word document for ease of printing and using.

    Available as an instant download

    The MRP Audit kit also includes easy to follow instructions, you can see a screen shot of one of the pages on the left.

    On top of the audit, these additional instructions will help you to convert your audit into a workable improvement plan that you can start implementing immediately.

    The kit is available for instant download when you complete the secure purchase using the button below.

    Take the pressure off! Using the Y-curve with your Kaizen improvements

    Do you feel under pressure when you have to make changes happen in your business? It can be scary when we try something that we have never done before. I remember thinking to myself 'how on Earth am I going to figure this out?' on many occasions. I think the last time was a few weeks ago! Years on from becoming reasonable at the art of change I am still faced with the same dilemma. It is scary and it is clear to me why so many people shy away from making change happen. It is natural to get stuck in this oscillation. On one hand you need to make change happen; the business needs the improvement benefits. On the other hand you don't want to screw up... Last week I was talking to a young engineer that I am mentoring. He was paralysed. Changes were not happening at all. There was always some early promise with his projects and then, as completion (and judgement day) loomed, progress would evaporate. The engineer asked me for my views on this  during a recent conversati

    Do you need a burst of improvement ideas for your business?

    If you haven’t created your improvement action plan for 2020 yet then I have something for you. I have just completed my latest project – The CI Focus Tool . This Android App is now available on Google Play and provides a simple method for generating as many effective improvement ideas as you need. This is the same basic method that I describe in my book Effective Continuous Improvement  and is now available as a simple to use app. In essence it is a brainstorming focus tool. Press the focus button and you will be presented with a random continuous improvement focus. Brainstorm ideas around this focus with your team (whilst the timer is running) and there you go – a number of great ideas for you to prioritise and implement. The reason that this works so well is because of the focus. When your business runs out of its immediate problems to fix you need a different strategy. Very focused brainstorming helps you break past this problem and configuring the app to meet t
