TriMin and your team members learn a tremendous amount about your business during the sales and implementation process. Business process management and automation is one of the final steps your business needs to embark on to fully optimize your investment. To achieve this optimization you need to go back to one of the basic manufacturing principles, eliminating waste from all business and manufacturing processes. A key component in the implementation and management of an efficient company is the ability to automate standard processes.

Infor provides the power to streamline and automate processes that are within and reach beyond the four walls of manufacturing using a workflow or business process automation engine. The power of a workflow engine lies in the ability to process the mundane while managing the critical aspects of any business process. The value to the manufacturer lies in the release of valuable human resources and intellectual capital tied up in handling paperwork instead of value add activities and exceptions.

For example, the process of entering an order requires several steps. The majority of customer orders being processed only need to be validated at these steps, while a small percentage of these orders require human input to determine the next appropriate step in the process. Specifically, the majority of customer credit checks are a formality. Very little value is added to the order process when a person manually looks up credit status before passing the order to the next step.

Infor process automation features will perform this task, and many others like it, automatically, concurrent to other activities in the process and across the enterprise. It will filter out only the orders that require further human input to determine acceptability. Using application software to perform these repetitive tasks frees human resources to do what they do best.

TriMin and your team will identify many process that should be automated during implementation and shortly after go live. If a process can be identified, a workflow can be created, and waste can be removed. With SyteLine 7, there is no requirement that all processes be pre-defined and created with the product implementation. Workflow automation can be implemented anytime at the user's convenience and adjusted as business dynamics change.
