Challenge
Order tracking takes too long
Orders are recorded in an Excel file, inventory is tracked manually, and when a new order is received the employee needs a long time to verify part availability
Difficulty identifying where improvement is needed
Management knows operations can improve, but priorities are unclear... and which solution fits their budget without disrupting work
Limited budget for improvements
There is no large budget for massive ERP systems; they are looking for simple and effective solutions, with concern about paying high amounts for complex solutions they do not need
