BPM (Business Performance Manufacturing) Discovery for Small and Medium Sized Manufacturing Companies…

(Surrey, B.C.) – (10 October 2002) – In today’s highly competitive world one of the biggest fears owners, senior executives and production managers of manufacturing companies are facing is equipment downtime and the pain of associated technical and administrative loss. There are several aspects of information technology that many companies either totally or partially overlook, and in doing so they unwittingly jeopardise their productivity and profitability.

Over the years information technology has become the actual backbone of a modern manufacturing plant, and unless that backbone is properly tuned up, the company can incur significant losses.

Express Computer Service Center’s BPM Discovery is specifically tailored for the needs, wants and desires of small and medium sized manufacturing companies to minimise risk of production interruptions and maximise productivity.

Express’ BPM Discovery looks at the production process from three angles: 1) People: How well are end-users and IT staff skilled to make optimal use of processes and technologies? 2) Processes: How well is production optimised and streamlined? 3) Technology: How well are labour-intensive tasks and processes reduced/eliminated and re-deployed?

The synergy of these three factors reduces production costs and opens opportunity for innovation.

From Express’ BPM Discovery senior executives and production managers gain valuable insights how they can further reduce operating costs, while improving production performance. It has been documented by Compaq Computer Corporation that the industry average of annual cost of ownership of information technology systems is over $10,000 per end user. After including both direct and indirect costs, this number can be so high, that even a conservative 5% saving can make a huge difference to the company’s bottom line.

After 10 years of working with manufacturers, members of the Express team believe that the more system-dependent the manufacturing process is, the better the company can produce consistent and predictable quality and quantity. Some of the benefits of Express’ BPM Discovery are reduced production losses, mitigated risk, and improved planning.

Express now offers its BPM Discovery service to manufacturing companies in the Greater Vancouver area, and is planning to expand this service across Canada.
