When offered with two tough and often conflicting choices, we invariably tend to choose the more difficult one, ignoring the simple one thinking it might never work.
With all the latest technology available at their disposal, most process manufacturing companies still choose to work on complicated manufacturing ERP systems.
Instead of making a manufacturer’s life easier, they often mess things up with overly complex technology, convoluted workflows, cluttered interfaces, and superfluous features, etc.
The issues mentioned above become particularly significant when the employees in the manufacturing company try to work through approval processes, which often are the main point of control in any ERP system and determine how workflows or graduates from one person to another.
Be it purchase orders, employee timesheets, leave requests, or expense reports, if your process manufacturing organization is spending unnecessary time on approvals, you’re in the process losing out on valuable time that your team could instead invest on growth, developing new ideas, and keeping the competitors at bay.
Once these issues are identified, it is important for the process manufacturing businesses to address them before they hamper the operations and bog down the workflows.
