EDI Solutions for IFS Applications This webcast provides an overview of EDI
solutions offered by Radley Corporation for
IFS Applications focusing on iR*EDI for B2B
(also iCARaS Automotive EDI, iSC Supply Chain
EDI, and Hosting for EDI).
In May's edition of
the IFS Radio Network, Radley Corporation Vice
President David Barks points out the pitfalls of stand-alone
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) technology. He suggests
that manufacturers should instead consider extending
their existing enterprise software into the warehouse.
One of these pitfalls is the fact that even after integrating
WMS and an enterprise application like ERP, a manufacturer
still winds up running two separate inventory systems.
"One
of the costs you run into in those dual-inventory
systems is reconciliation, where you have something
in the WMS, it is available for a customer and
the order is being done on the manufacturing system.
If there is a discrepancy between what you have
in the WMS and what you have in the ERP system
and you do your MRP processes, you can wind up
ordering raw material, using capacity and building
product that you already had in your warehouse
... but you didn't know it because your two inventory
systems weren't in synch. That's an absolute deadly
sin." ~ David Barks, Vice President, Radley
Automotive
EDI Solutions
An automotive supplier’s
success requires continuous improvement in product quality,
material and labor utilization, and responsiveness to
customer demand. Increasing productivity by eliminating
unnecessary effort and needless delays is key to business
process improvement. With iCARaS, you can simplify customer
demand processing, automate shipping functions, and enhance
your own supplier rating.
Many companies already
use an EDI translator. However, more companies are
now searching for a solution that productively manages
the data exchanged with their trading partners, while
tracking related priority activities. Powerful and
cost-effective, iR*EDI provides IFS users with advantages
now, and in the future, including support for XML and
Web services.
