The manufacturing industry is going through a Digital Transformation grow to deal with the rise of new technologies. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation will become effective soon this year. A recent YouGov survey of manufacturing businesses found that only 3 out of 10 firms had started preparing for GDPR. Therefore, your company must update new manufacturing software, the sooner, the better.
Supply Chain Management is moving to a Digital Transformation process and set the way to a massive rise in manufacturers' ACCOUNTABILITY. Visibility throughout different operations in the Supply Chain allows companies to accurately know who, when, and where someone is carrying out various tasks. The years of paperwork have gone a long time; nowadays we count on many business applications that bring firms tremendous benefits from the use of mobile device and data-driven the Internet of Things (IoT).
Software solutions like ERP and CRM, although their reputation for being inflexible, assure compliance, boost efficiency, reduce errors and shorten the workflow, and all in rea-time! These systems have been quickly evolving with the competence to support mobile devices and tablets.
While company's whole data is stored in one system, executives and other key decision-makers can faster get into business Analytics to increase quality and reliability of products and view the outcomes from top to bottom of the stream-line.
There are numerous mobile tools supported by ERP systems. Mobile applications users can work with 'as usual' right from their mobile device. Engineers can open a mobile app and access all the data they need, in addition to automatically receiving change work orders and the latest information about product availability. ERP systems provide easy and secure access to view and update data, improve customer service while providing full transparency for better management control. Manufacturing companies who invest in this technology will stand out of the competition, regarding productivity, revenue and reputation.
Like never before, companies looking to take advantage of real-time Analytics to add insights on productivity and customer behaviour should count on a business consultant to help when choosing the right tools and navigating regulations for your organisation.
Conclusions: Shop floor and operational data is tracked by Analytics and could be subject to incoming GDPR laws starting in mid-May. Any company that has customers, suppliers, factories, or marketing activities in Europe will need to ensure they’re compliant. It is advisable companies communicate with their business software retailers, to advocate for the deployment of this useful technology to store people’s data and avoid the collapse of the Manufacturing industry.
