There are very to-be-followed industrial proverb –

And here are two of significant saying:
The hazardous waste is the waste that we don not recognise
The machines are mere pieces of metal if they cannot be made efficient

An ERP can not solve:

Low productivity
Lower machine efficiencies
High rework
High inventories
High product wastage

As the upper issues can’t be solved by only:
Experience
Logic
Intuition

An ERP can provide the actionable insights and analytics to analyse the root cause and making decision –

You might be a good operations person, an engineer or a efficient operator but, these are not all to cope it up, rather
Some time-tested problem solving and process improvement tools are required in this connection

And,

Here is Lean 6 Sigma – a world renowned business improvement method to maximise the stakeholder’s value
By improving the manufacturing speed, product quality, customer satisfaction and by reducing the cost

Lean 6 Sigma leverages the most popular strategy to deploy the continuous improvement in the manufacturing industries. A successful and sustainable implementation of lean 6 sigma ensures high quality, low cost, customer satisfaction, increased profitability. And this a reality. Reduction of machine downtime and maintenance, product variation, and improvement of machine efficiencies, productivity and safety are the essential parts of the reality.

For the industry’s perspective the core of Six Sigma is
Define, Measure, Analyse, Improvement and Control.

“ The most hazardous waste is the waste that we can not recognise “
Lean Six Sigma focuses on the major identifiable wastes those impact –

Manufacturing waste:

Inventory
Waiting
Defects
Overproduction
Motion
Transportation
Pre-processing

So, only a successful deployment of a world renowned ERP is not the last story for profitability and customer satisfaction. Implementation and the sustainable process improvement and waste management framework is paramount.

Where is the destination ?

Innovation escalating – leaving behind the predecessors at stunning speed!

All new applications are being built and shifting to Autonomous Elastic Database. This is a revolutionary move. No human labour, no human error in this new database realm. Oracle claims this a self-driving with automatic installation, configuration, update, patching, tuning… Fusion and NetSuite are moving to Autonomous Elastic Database. The recent beneficiary sectors incorporating he AED are fusion marketing, retail, banking, hospitality etc.

The significant advantage of getting autonomous elastic database is having high performance in low costs. Other features highlights in automatically allocates and releases processors and memory on workload – 10x faster on large workloads while costing less overall. Serverless when idle and the lucrative proposition is – “do not pay for what you do not use”.

Most rewarding initiative is moving from low code to no code through Oracle’s APEX cloud application generator from JAVA programming to APEX application generation! This new generation technology requires smaller team with less time. No doubt, this trend is a sign of alarming situation for staffing attachment – evaluation to becoming 50 to 10 programmers! APEX signifies its methodology as prototype features and iterate. Stepping ahead in security aspect as it leaves no security bugs. More reliable – generates stateless application with automatic failover.

Well, this noticeable that, recent days, innovation takes its dramatic speed to get new shape and AI keep contributing at remarkable pace.
