Decide With Data

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solutions

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems empower manufacturers to integrate all informational aspects of their operations into a unified platform. By centralizing data, automating routine tasks, and delivering real-time analytics, these systems enable data-driven decisions that boost efficiency and productivity.

Effectively implemented ERP solutions enhance cross-departmental collaboration, streamline processes, and lower operational costs. They also support compliance efforts, increase visibility, mitigate risks, and optimize human resource management, ensuring seamless operations.

For manufacturers seeking to harness the full potential of their data, ERP systems are an essential tool for driving growth, enhancing decision-making, and maintaining a competitive edge.

Key areas of engagement include:

ERP Evaluation & Selection: Document, evaluate and quantify the flow of information through core business processes. Conducting a detailed assessment and analysis required information flows is key to the selection of an optimal ERP system and deployment of an effective implementation plan. Understanding in detail the data requirements for a software system assures that the best system, training and implementation solution is chosen.

ERP Implementation Support & Training: Implementing a manufacturing information system (ERP) brings unique challenges and demands beyond daily operations. The final step in optimizing a Manufacturing Information System is a successful implementation and utilization of the chosen solution. Support includes identifying, qualifying, and scheduling implementation service providers and matching companies with the necessary training plan and data conversion services. Depending on specific needs and staffing levels, our experts can join the implementation team to work directly with staff, the system vendor, and the implementation provider, ensuring a timely and efficient rollout.

Cybersecurity Support

Prioritizing cybersecurity is essential for protecting sensitive data, preventing financial losses, and preserving your business’s reputation. Robust cybersecurity measures ensure business continuity, support regulatory compliance, and defend against evolving cyber threats. By strengthening security, companies can enhance productivity, reduce operational risks, and build trust with customers and partners.

Key areas of engagement include:

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment: Conducting a cybersecurity risk assessment is a comprehensive process that helps your company identify, analyze, and mitigate potential cyber threats. A customized approach is taken to assess your current state which include but are not limited to the following:

• Identify and document all digital assets
• Identify all potential exposures across your network, such as unpatched vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or unauthorized devices.
• Analyze the identified exposures to assess their potential impact on your company.
• Translate the findings from your analysis into quantifiable cyber risks.
• Develop a mitigation plan for the identified risks.

Security Awareness Training: Provides a comprehensive and ongoing process designed to educate employees, executives, and other stakeholders about the risks associated with technology and digital connectivity, and how to protect your company assets from cyber threats.

Remediation Guidance: Remediation in cybersecurity is a critical process that involves identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating vulnerabilities and threats to protect your company systems and data. Here are some ways this topic can be tackled:

• Identify vulnerabilities within the businesses infrastructure.
• prioritize vulnerabilities based on their potential impact and exploitability
• implement the necessary remediation measures. Examples may include things such as Reconfiguring security settings to enhance protection to removing malware and strengthening firewalls

Manage IT Support: A customized approach is taken to manage IT support effective by things such as implementing a tiered help desk system, standard operating procedures, and self-service options like knowledge bases and user-friendly portals. Issues are prioritized based on severity, manage Service Level Agreements, and provide regular training for agents. Offer multi-channel support and use remote tools to enhance resolution times. Continuously collect feedback and analyze processes to identify areas for improvement.

Visual Dashboard Creation

Lean Daily Management: Lean Daily Management (LDM) is a systematic strategy that integrates Lean principles into daily operations to ensure continuous improvement, efficiency, and quality. It involves key components including things such as Leader Standard Work, daily accountability processes, visual management, and proactive problem-solving at the point of work (Gemba), aiming to align daily activities with strategic objectives and foster a culture of transparency, employee empowerment, and continuous improvement.
