Current Limitation Sometimes there is a need to perform BULK Item Master creation, either from the engineering PDM, inter-company product transfer or simply a new product launches. If you are in a manufacturing company where item master creation is a burden because of the number of items to be created in (1.4.1) or (1.4.3) + (1.4.5) + (1.4.7) + (1.4.9) is too time-consuming and tedious and error prone, you need alternative solutions to entering the data one by one. Once you have setup the Item Master, next you must create the Product Structure and Routing. These 2 screens are [...]

Project Management Template For your Organization

Get the facts right The failure rate of IT Projects can be alarming; per Gartner, approximately 74% of IT projects fail, are late, or go over budget.

On average, about 70 percent of all IT-related projects fail to meet their objectives, so CRM's failure rate -- along with the appalling 70-percent failure rate for ERP implementation projects and the shockingly high 70-percent failure rate experienced by those implementing SCM (supply-chain management) -- is about as distressing as a 70-percent [...]
