No Gossip - set the example !
Gossip will kill your culture and ruin your company. It's when a person talks about someone negatively, critically or sarcastically when the person is not present.

Tell your people what the definition is, and then tell them, "We don't do that here. We are here to support each other and bring out the best each of us has, even though we don't all perform to the same level."

Then set the example - without exception !

STOCK PICKING LIST

2011-03-06T16:12:00.000-08:00

HOW TO IMPROVE STOCK PICKING PRODUCTIVITY

Every trading company have different type of warehouse, 40% of the labor cost are spend in the picking area. We will share information on this area and suggest where improvements could be made.

For a warehouse picking operation to be efficient, the office must prepare helpful picking lists. Getting an confirmed order from a customer and rushing it to the warehouse for picking for the handling process.

The office should go through a number of steps in processing paperwork as outlined below. We omit consideration of credit checking, bills of lading and labels in this discussion.

STEPS FOR THE OFFICE
The first step in improving the warehouse is to deduct each item from inventory. If an item is not deducted from inventory, the picker may spend time looking for it. Our experience indicates that an out-of-stock item may take up to 30% more time to look for than one that is in stock. Not only does the picker spend his own time searching, but he may ask other pickers or a supervisor for help or information.

The second step provided by the office should be to prepare a picking list with an exact location for each item. Third, each item on the picking list should be printed in the same sequence as it is located in the warehouse. If there is split picking for broken lots, full cases and full pallet items, the sequence should be broken out separately for each area.

The standard time to pick each order should show on each picking list. In this way the supervisor will be able to schedule the pickers, and the pickers will know the predetermined standards which they should meet or exceed.

When the picking list is prepared, all out-of-stock items should be deleted. This will keep the picker from reading extraneous material and will save time.

There is no one right way to pick. Every situation has to be examined for its peculiarities and special requirements. In a warehouse there are many variables which have an impact on picking. These effects may be positive or may slow up the operation.

ELEMENTS OF PICKING
A number of elements must be considered for effective picking. Generally the first element is to pick up the order. The second element is to read it. The third element is for the picker to go to the first item to be picked. This may either be riding on equipment or walking. The picker then picks that item. The next element might be to make a notation on the pick list. Then, he reads the next item, walks to that location, picks the item, makes a notation on the pick list and repeats this sequence for the balance of the items. After they have been picked, the items are brought back to a central point, laid down, and the order form might be signed or initialed by the picker.

In most manual picking operations, 80% to 85% of the time is spent either walking or riding. The balance of the time is spent studying the order, making notations and doing the actual picking. If we eliminate a good part of the walking or riding we can reduce overall picking time.

It's never "enough."

How much is enough?

A friend of mine asked me, "How much is enough for me ?"
I can only eat so much of food, and i can only take up two square meters when i sleep.
"How much do I need?" em....................

This question apply to my business and for thoese business people who do it for $$$; but a good one doesn't. "Enough" is not the point.

I told him I do it because I love my job, and I want to make a positive difference to my user. I want to express myself, thrill myself with the pursuit, and push myself to the boundaries. If I retired (young or old), what the heck would I do ? emmm.............I'd be wasting my talent, and discontinuing my contribution. I'd veg out - and probably die shortly thereafter....................
I keep going, doing my very best, no matter what the outcome. It's never enough.! USERS HAVE NEVER ENOUGH !

Positive attitude

2011-02-15T08:09:00.000-08:00

People are drawn to positive people, businesses, and outcomes. If you aren’t excited about your business, no one will be.

Survey Questions

2011-02-10T01:08:00.000-08:00

Do you have a smart phone like iPhone or Blackberry or windows based phones to be able to check how your business progressing when you are away from your computer/office or remotely via phone ? Do you needed to know certain information and you could have used to look up your Customer, Sales, Vendors etc ...........

Do you think business owners would be moving fwd to purchase a smart phone to interact more easily with their backend ERP system to have information at their finger tips? What would you pay for such kind of apps which provides instant access to your data?

Congratulations

During ERP Implementation

2010-12-06T02:34:00.000-08:00

When implementing an ERP system. some users may alawys hv issues about their computer illiteracy, or may say that they have spent many years doing what rhey are doing now without help from an ERP system. Other users may say that their jobs will be threatened by the new system, or that they will not know how to do the job within the scope of such a system. Yet another group of users may stress values such as the importance of existing system, which may be jeopardized by the new ERP system and so on and so on..........

My personal point of view, all ERP users are expected to be reluctant to welcome the new system if they do not know how it works. Teaching each of the user groups how the ERP system works is important for them.

hands-on training is another important driver of ERP implementation success. Training offer a good opportunity to help users adjust to the change , it also helps to build positive attitudes toward the new system when they get to know the system more, training provides hands-on experience for the users: they appreciate the quality attributes of the system and its potential benefits and also of course the hard work spent by the consultant.

User Attitute problem

2010-12-01T03:03:00.000-08:00

When i implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, i always found that the top management commonly faces an unwanted attitude from the users for many reason or another, they resist the implementation process. Resist to change = resist to improve , i think the top management should always proactively deal with this type of USER's ATTITUTE PROBLEM. The BEST BEST system doesnt work if ur user resist to improve.

Manufacturing Processes Sample

2010-09-02T22:32:00.000-07:00

In this sample, product A, product B, product C, and product D are packed using packing machines.

- There is a machine called Mixer 1 for the materials mixing process.
- There are 3 packing machines, Packer 1, Packer 2, and Packer 3 for the packing process.
- There is an inspector called Inspector1 for the inspection process.
- Materials of product A, product B, product C, and product D are set as Product A-Material, Product B-Material, Product C-Material, and Product D-Material.
- ProductA-Material, ProductB-Material, ProductC-Material, and ProductD-Material pass the mixing process.
- Intermediate items produced in the mixing process pass the packing process next.
- Then, items produced in the packing process pass the inspection process and finally ProductA, ProductB, ProductC and ProductD will be produced.

The basic of Success

2010-08-18T00:25:00.000-07:00

Success is not doing 5,000 things. It's doing the key few things 5,000 times.
Generate leads. Sell them. Deliver the goods and make people happy. Build your team stronger. And then keep doing it. Over and over again - for years

so, are you doing 5000 thing or 5000 times ?

Who and what do you need for an implementation?

2010-07-19T20:05:00.000-07:00

Project Manager-This person must create and manage the project schedule, tasks and communication.
Implementation/Core Team-The core team should consist of a cross functional group that understands your business, the project goals and knows the history of the organization.
Systems-Determine what systems are required to support the new application. What interfaces are required to other applications?
Business Processes-Verify that current processes are documented. These will be the baseline to determine how well the new application meets your business requirements and how the new application will impact current processes.
