Manufacturers have traditionally been problem solvers. While the problem-solving mindset helps create amazing products, the same skill fires back in designing the processes. This problem-solving approach leads each department to make their decisions independently and buy software to solve their problems, limiting interoperability. This approach also promotes the culture of organizational silos and prevents taking advantage of synergies through a consolidated view of the organization.In today's episode, we have our guest, Mike Yost, who discusses the differences between performance management, production management, and asset management on the shop floor. He also shares several stories where he improved the organization's performance by optimizing the shop floor functions and improving data sharing. Finally, he shares his insights into what executives can do to break the organizational silos and create a consolidated view to take advantage of synergies across business functions and plants. For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.
