You need check-ups. . . So does your business
In your personal life, your health and well being depend upon a
regular physical check-up. You recognize the daily aches and
pains, the sore muscles, the ache in your knee, but do you
know what's really causing them? To protect yourself, you
turn to the best diagnostic tool available, a physical check-up
by a qualified professional.
In many ways, your
business is quite similar. On a daily basis,
you're aware of the little aches and pains. The customer
order that was supposed to ship last week but didn't.
The parts rushed in only to sit on the shop floor for days.
Or you realize too late that the costing information used to
make a crucial decision was inaccurate. Isn't it time that you
consider a proper checkup for your business?
What do we check?
ISI's MAPICS
Business Physical is just that, a business check-up.
The MAPICS Business Physical is not a cure for your
company's problems. Nor is it simply another analysis of
ratios and financial data. Instead, the MAPICS Business Physical
is a diagnostic tool that measures the health of your business
system and evaluates its contribution to your company's
productivity and profitability. Through site visits and
interviews, our consultants will evaluate the business processes
crucial to the success of your business and seek to identify
bottlenecks, whether resources or attitudes, that negatively
effect your business processes.
Management
Are you receiving
the expected return on your MAPICS system
investment? What are your company's goals and priorities?
What strategies do you have to help you achieve
your goals? Does your business system assist or hinder
the implementation of those strategies?
How well do your
employees understand the business process?
How well trained are they in using the system tools
at their disposal? Do they see the system as a help or
a hindrance to the completion of their jobs?
Vendors and Customers
How do your key
vendors and customers view your business
processes? How easy is it for customers and vendors
to work with your organization? And how do their
actual experiences compare to your expectations?
What do you get?
After completing
the interviews, ISI will meet with your company's
management to present the results of our findings.
This will include:
* An overview of
the current condition of your
business system.
* Recommendations
for a plan to ensure that the
business system processes are aligned with
the company goals and priorities.
* A high-level
project plan to address the major
issues with scope of effort and benefits
defined.
* Recommendations
for further review of specific
business areas, such as a Security Audit,
a Customer Services Audit, or an IT Audit.
What’s next?
The MAPICS Business
Physical will no more ensure success for
your business than a standard medical check up will guarantee
your continual good health. Both will, however, help
to discover existing and potential problems that can be barriers
to achieving your company or personal goals.
Schedule your
MAPICS Business Physical today and put your business processes back
on the road to better health.
