ERP system Includes Business Process Management

PR9.NET August 12, 2005 - According to Velocity Group Vice President, Michael Ligudzinski, "A true Business Process Management (BPM) tool must allow the design and publishing of the process; it must also provide the capacity for managing the execution of the processes."

Indeed one of the most challenging aspects of manufacturing management is the enforcement and adherence to defined processes. A Lean corporate initiative, characterized by significant process changes both in tasks and timing, mandates a strict conformance to the newly defined processes. Ligudzinski insists that, "It is absolutely paramount that a BPM system allows for complete control and monitoring of process execution and conformance."
