MRP is a powerful planning system for manufacturing enterprises, but it doesn’t always live up to its promise to make plans that work for manufacturing. Why? We’ll take a look at the pitfalls from inadequate planning data and order dates, to incorrect transaction processing and setup of modules.  And, we’ll discuss the basic needs of a well-run MRP process and show you how to avoid inaccurate information in PO’s, Work Orders and Sales Orders and demonstrate how to correctly set up everything from part numbers to BOMs and date issues so you can make MRP succeed.

Cyber security events come in all shapes and sizes, and each type of cyber security event or mishap results in varied and often costly consequences. Data governance programs are key factor in preventing a reportable data breach and avoiding the financial losses and public relations disasters.
