Is Your Production Data Garbage?
“Garbage In, Garbage Out” The Impact on Your ERP, Quoting, and Operations Many manufacturers struggle to…
Many manufacturers struggle to trust data from their ERP or other systems that rely on manually entered data, because it is notoriously unreliable. This is especially true when that manual data is used to generate scheduling, quoting, or operational decisions. The phrase “Garbage In – Garbage Out,” summarizes how that usually turns out.
In one word – inaccuracy. In fact, having garbage data (and not knowing it) is worse than having no data. At least when you have no data, you know you don’t know, and you are more careful. Garbage data, that you believe is accurate, gives you the confidence to make decisions, which can go sideways quickly. Garbage data that you know is garbage means whatever effort was made to gather the data was 100% wasted. Basically, no data makes you slow, unrecognized garbage data makes you wrong, and recognized garbage data makes you inefficient.
Here is how garbage data is made:
All of these things occur at some point during a manual process and combine to create an inaccurate and/or incomplete picture of your production performance. This can be catastrophic when important business decisions are based on it.
Accuracy matters in precision manufacturing. And the facilities that can make the transition from old manual processes to new automated ones are going to be the big winners. This is true in machining, and it’s true in data gathering and analysis. Poor data quality leads to:
What processes do you have in place to assure accuracy of your production data 100% of the time? If it’s not automated, it’s not happening.
Using an automated process to collect and analyze data eliminates all the risks associated with manual methods. Growth-minded manufacturers who embrace automation will beat the competition and thrive. Steps to automation:
