FINDINGS
ABC Company Inc. has great potential for growth and increased profitability, yet there are many
challenges that need to be overcome. The critical elements requiring improvement are
procedural, not technical, and related to production, as opposed to sales. Current ABC Company
management is addressing the primary need to systematize operational procedures and re-
organize where necessary. Therefore, systems automation solutions by Vision Systems will
initially have a modest impact on the growth potential for ABC Company Inc. in comparison to
that of the establishment of operational procedures by management (including Material Planing
solutions), yet will be very complimentary to those efforts.
As internal procedures become systematized, it may be beneficial to implement low-end MRP II
or ERP technologies, especially in the area or inventory management. After a improving material
planning through re-organization, systemization, and or leveraging technological solutions, the
benefits of sales and workflow automation provided by Vision Systems will begin to have a
much greater influence in driving ABC Company Inc.'s growth. For, the benefits of sales
automation at ABC Company Inc. will be largely dependent upon the institution of sound
operational procedures and production systems capable of dealing with the desired increases in
sales.
It must be noted that there is an honest difference of opinion between engineering and sales
regarding the cause and severity of production limitations. The sales staff may be reacting
merely to issues regarding procurement and not production per se. This may also be the result of
Sales being too involved in Engineering work (another area of differing perspectives). Whatever
the reasons, systems and procedures will most likely rectify the issues and/or perceptions of
issues.
In light of this, Vision Systems will not attempt an ROI assessment, as there are simply too many
procedures yet being defined that will have a greater impact on profits. Additionally, Vision
Systems has put the analysis of some project targets on hold, until they become more defined as
the result of other developments. Some late stage solutions will require further investigation and
analysis, and possibly the assistance of an MRP consultant, before Vision Systems can provide
solid recommendations (i.e. product selection), however Vision Systems will attempt to make
some preliminary recommendations to maximize the benefit made by ABC Company Inc. in the
investigation phase.
Vision Systems has identified a handful of existing processes which can be automated at this
time, to facilitate ease of use, better communications, and more accurate reporting. These are
Described in the details of the Phase I and Phase II implementation overview sections.
The greatest ROI will be achieved when more advanced automation solutions are implemented
in Phase III and beyond. A general Vision for an advanced phase also follows.
