Use Business Process Reengineering as one of your most powerful strategic weapons! Drive down the time it takes to develop and deliver new products, dramatically reduce inventory and manufacturing time. Slash the cost of quality, and win market share. This strategy provides you with the means to do it.
Substantial market share has been lost over years to foreign competitors. No industry is immune. The pressure is on to be the nothing less than the best. But being the best takes serious change and it's no easy matter.
You've got to streamline your factories, systems and organizations, and open up lines of communication. You've got to break down barriers between departments and put an end to the "we've always done it this way" argument. You've got to get your employees highly involved in assuming new responsibilities if you're going to compete in the global markets in the next decade.
Whether you are a discrete product or process manufacturer, make-to-order or repetitive, or distributor, Rockford Consulting Group can help you increase your competitiveness by reducing throughput time, reducing lead times, increasing capacity, increasing flexibility, reducing inventory, through selection and implementation of the right manufacturing or distribution processes, ERP system, or strategy for your company.

Key to the success of an agile supply chain is the speed and flexibility with which business processes can be accomplished. Achieving this capability requires all physical and logical events within the supply chain to be enacted swiftly, accurately, and effectively. The faster parts, information, and decisions flow through an organization, the faster it can respond to customer needs.
The information chain must be streamlined and electronically linked at
every point, so that information flow is direct- -without interruptions and delays. Business cycle times must be reduced to the time it
actually takes to effectively process information.
As Rockford Consulting Group developed sound process and techniques to
successfully implement ERP systems, we integrated our ERP systems
implementation approaches with reengineering business processes. Today,
we have proven techniques for successful BPR and ERP implementations
that produce measureable, achievable, and substantial financial
benefits, as well as substantial productivity increases for our
clients.
We are strong with BPR implementations, because we are intimate with
manufacturing and distribution processes at the detailed work
instruction level. Contact us (click here) for more information on how we can improve your operations.
