SYSTEMS AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

There’s now a simple way to enhance your competitive position and harness the knowledge held by your executive leadership and your teams in marketing, production and supply chain management. Technical Change Associates’ (TCA) Systems and Resource Management (S & R M) Process is a new, Lean compatible approach to flawlessly managing all your corporate resources.

Bringing it all Together with Systems and Resource Management

Our S & R M Process brings together all the pieces so you can make the best possible use of your current resources – reducing waste throughout your value streams and developing processes that bring greater levels of discipline to your business.

The result is a unified plan that brings together all the essential information you need, from anticipated customer demand for your products to production capacity on the shop floor. Let us help you implement a S & R M Process to make your company stronger, leaner and more competitive.

Connecting All the Pieces

You’ve invested a lot in your current resources – from your ERP system to various Lean processes in manufacturing, scheduling and materials planning. Imagine the power of pulling together all these business activities into one unified system.

TCA’s S & R M Process is a powerful way to connect all the pieces. You can unite information from sales and marketing, materials planning, supply chain management, production and more into a cohesive whole, giving you a powerful tool to run your business.

You’ll be able to identify issues at a glance and begin taking action. The Process enables you to plan and execute everything from material replenishment and takt times to daily production meetings.

Creating an Enterprise Model for Your Business

Our S & R M approach encompasses all processes in your value streams – from new product design to shipping finished product out the door.

This Process interfaces with a software solution to give your leadership team the information it needs, organized in a clear and logical way. With this knowledge in hand, you can begin reducing waste throughout the value stream and developing processes to effectively streamline your business.

Our approach combines the skilled expertise of TCA professionals with the power of a world-class enterprise software solution. If you need an ERP solution, we can help you select one that’s flexible and scalable – capable of meeting your specific requirements, both now and in the future.

Bottom-Line Results

TCA’s S & R M Process improves customer service, reduces inventory and makes full use of a business’s resources. Using our S & R M Process, one company was able to gain a better understanding of its manufacturing capacity and make more appropriate product delivery
commitments.

As a result, the company improved its on-time delivery rates from 65 percent to greater than
95 percent. Another company with $100 million in annual sales was able to reduce its inventory by more than 50 percent by being able to better plan and execute their production in accordance with customer requirements.
