With the introduction of new and emerging technologies, the manufacturing industry has become much more competitive. Rising energy costs and strong competition from overseas companies means Australian manufacturers need to continue to find efficiencies throughout their business to be able to grow. National Manufacturing Week brings together experts within the industry to discuss new ideas, solutions, and processes that can help businesses make improvements, enhance efficiency, and boost productivity.
At the event, Sarah Polhill, CIO for Royal Australian Mint, will present on 11 May at 11:25 a.m. in the Industry 4.0 Theatre. Sarah will share her insights on process improvements and organisational resilience to market disruptions. The Royal Australian Mint recently implemented Epicor ERP (now known as Kinetic) to improve efficiency and streamline processes for employees. The organization needed to find efficiencies across the business to deal with increasing demand for collectible coins. It chose Epicor ERP to drive production efficiencies and improve processes, improve information-sharing across the business, and deliver real-time reporting and online capabilities so the Mint could have visibility across its entire operations.
If you're looking to increase flexibility and simplicity in your business, make sure you come to Sarah's session.
2018 is turning out to be a year of preparing for change for many manufacturing businesses. This includes letting go of legacy systems that are costly to maintain and don't deliver a strong return on investment. It can be daunting for an organization to move away from heavily-customised systems. But, to take advantage of innovative features and capabilities that can drive the business forward, they must modernise. Rather than create additional complexity, manufacturers should seek solutions that are fit for purpose, easy to use, and position the organization for growth.
