We are continuing to explore further opportunities for advancements by way of automation and through the vast network of LCTCS MEP of LA. Their broad reach across the nation is proving to be very beneficial!
During the initial meeting, APS also took a supply chain assessment. The assessment identified concerns such as limited suppliers for particular products/materials, long lead times and some products only being available to them overseas. This led to a conversation with LCTCS MEP of LA’s third-party provider supply chain experts to resolve issues with their ERP system.
Following two executive coaching meetings with APS management and VersoriumIQ, resources were located to assist APS with coaching/training to better utilize their current ERP system resulting in cost avoidance of several hundred thousand dollars. Without this help, APS would have possibly incurred the costs of several hundred thousand dollars unnecessarily. This discovery has also led to 5S training and lean kaizen implementation for the company, as well as lean manufacturing training to continue to improve their growing business. The 3PP provided additional industry users with the same software which were able to provide solutions to improve APS’s ERP efficiency.
