Is there a way to manage and grow business more smoothly?

Do our "Integrated Business Management Software / Systems" target some specific "Business and Operational Challenges"?

More Business and Operational Challenges

(Continued from:    Day to day Business and Operational Challenges)

(PS: Some enlisted business challenges are specific to production environment and may / may-not be applicable in your business.)

  Purchase / Vendor Management Issues
 * Buying more because untracked i.e. dead / non-moving stock cannot be moved from some other location
 * Higher raw material price due to unplanned purchases
 * Non timely purchases => Added Costs
 * Purchases not as per specifications (e.g. not properly "cut to length") leading to more rejections / wastage / scrap
 * Raw material: Delivery delays / quality issues
 * Buying much more than required quantity (various reasons)

Production bottlenecks
 * Not sure whether current raw material / resources would suffice for say, next month’s deliveries?
 * Not able to give prior notice to customer for delivery delays – Affects future business and brand image
 * Deliveries not planned well, especially for multiple line items of a single order (leading to delayed delivery of full order)
 * Machine problems / overload / breakdowns

 * Quality issues in some in-process step
 * More rework (various reasons that are avoidable)
 * Inconsistent production quality
 * Low margin business

Other Key Issues
 * Lot of pressure on management and staff (e.g. due to promised delivery dates)
      - Management dissatisfaction / worker dissatisfaction

* No choice but to sell stored stock at a discount
* Reusable / sellable scrap lying in warehouse / store, but is not known

* Priorities not clear amongst various departments - leading to confusion / losses / time wastage
* Valuable time lost in tracking various aspects and issues in a cycle of sales-production-purchasing-quality-deliveries-invoices-payments

* No time, hence no focus on how to
      - reduce delivery time, reduce rejections, increase profit margins, etc.
     - increase productivity by optimum utilization of resources (machinery, tools, skilled labor, etc.)

* Healthy Order book for next quarter but mind still occupied with various concerns      - low profit margins, lost opportunities for bigger / more-profitable orders, high inventory levels, etc.

 * Marketing / Sales becomes reactive rather than proactive in tracking trends and demands because of not having enough business visibility: e.g. which sector would have higher demand in next 3 months, etc.
