Wearable Fingertip Mouse


Meet the Ring-Style Fingertip Mouse. This finger-mouse straps onto your index finger and uses an optical sensor to track your pointing -- a thumb-wheel acts as a clicker as well. The mouse is super-compact and intended for use in cramped circumstances -- you can even use your thigh as a mousing surface, who cool is that?

ERP Software for Manufacturer

Manufacturing is defined as the transformation of raw materials into finished goods or product for sale by using machines and processing systems. In order to manage manufacturing processes, a software based production, purchasing, shipment planning and inventory control system called Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRP), has been developed. From this system, Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II), a method for the effective planning of all resources like men, machine and materials of a manufacturing company, has been derived. And from MRP II, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has evolved.

ERP integrate all the business functions into one database. It supports business organization needs and improves the business processes including strategic planning, management control and operational control. It also operates across functional departments and their particular activities. Cross functional activity is very important part of ERP. It reduces paper work and job completion time with full control.

ERP for Process Manufacturing

If your manufacturing is process based, you must focus on few things before selection of an ERP. ERP must be made for process based manufacturing. Production part should be the strongest part of the ERP. It should be easy to implement and configure with less or no customization. Linking of manufacturing with inventory, subcontracting, purchase and other modules should be good and effective.

After implementing the process based ERP, your manufacturing process will give you the optimum results. You can improve your manufacturing process to make it more effective. It will save your precious time and improve your production capacity with better control on inventory, subcontracting and planning. Organization can take all decisions on the basis of information not on assumptions or predictions. All reports will be online, on a click of button you will get information of raw material, WIP reports, material lying in which process, material required by particular process at what time etc.

Keeping ERP Project Management Simple

How do you keep track of what’s going on with your ERP software project on both a day to day and long term basis.

Have a Weekly Team Status Meeting

Like most everyone else, I hate meetings. However, the best way that I have found to manage “next actions” or current tasks is a well run ERP status meeting.

I recommend that the meeting:
• Happens every week without fail.
• Be started on time.
• Occurs early in the week – preferably on Monday morning.
• Be documented in Word or Excel and made easily available to everyone concerned.
• Take no more than one hour – shoot for 30 minutes.

This meeting can hold the team together, allow for efficient communication and keep things moving forward.

Coupled with a periodic project plan update, you can invest a minimal amount of time in project and task management and be confident that you know what’s going on with the project.

Why ERP implementation can be Failed-Part 3

3.No Change Control – Business change is happening at a faster rate than ever before. So it is not realistic to expect no change in requirements while an ERP system is being implemented. Uncontrolled changes will play a havoc to an ERP system and will cause many project failures. So control change and be practical.

Why ERP implementation can be Failed-Part 2

Point 2.Poor Requirements Definition – Too often, ERP projects have high level of users' requirements. This has led to cases where IT developers, having to input requirement from the users, build only what they believe is needed and correct by themself, without having any real knowledge of the logical and actual business processes flow. when the system is up and delivered, users say it does not feed what they want or to support the business need. so, to those user really want a successfull ERP implementation, please understand your business processes and discuss with your team before getting the software developers to build ya. Thank you very much for your co operation. Cheers

Why ERP implementation can be Failed-Part 1

Thru our experiemce there are multiple reasons why ERP implementation can be failed as new systems are deployed into the companies. i see there are poor leadership and lack of project manager experience and also lack of ERP knowledge for certain user.

Point 1.Lack of User Involvement – Without user involvement nobody in the business feels committed to the ERP system, Users need to get themself to be involved from the start of the project , and continuously throughout the development until the end. This requires time and effort which sometimes is not high on an organizations priority. to me 100% user commitment is very important especially in the initially project kick off.
