If you are running an ERP / MRP system a good question to ask is ‘do my staff understand the reports they use?’
I have visited many businesses over the years who use such systems and it still staggers me how many of them don’t really understand the information that is provided by the system.
Not only can this cause issues with delivery performance but it can create additional work, bloat over time requirements, inflate working capital and generally produce chaos in the workplace.
Periodically it may be worth your while to review the core system reports with your teams to see if they can be improved and ensure that there is correct understanding of how to use the reports within the group.
