Manufacturing is inseparable from manufacturing everywhere in life, from houses and cars to a screw. It can be said that manufacturing makes the world rich and colorful, and also gives people the opportunity to show off their wealth. Recently, the "Wealth Challenge" began to rise on the Internet, when a man accidentally fell and became the most popular way to take photos, like ↓.

Or this, ↓.

Although the photo pose is not appropriate, it doesn't matter. The most attractive things in the picture are the luxury cars and expensive bags next to them. Is there anyone like the editor who, driven by curiosity, will silently click on the picture and enlarge it to see what high-end brands and values the cars, bags or cosmetics inside are? But for QAD, our way of showing off our wealth is more straightforward:

People's clothing, food, housing and transportation are inseparable from the manufacturing industry. As you can see, the manufacturers of these industries are all customers of QAD, and they are also the most valuable wealth of QAD so far. These manufacturers are responsible for creating amazing products, while QAD is responsible for providing cloud ERP solutions to help enterprises operate efficiently.

For the manufacturing industry, there is nothing more convincing than showing off its own lean production. Many people regard Lean as the concept of inventory management or process improvement, but in fact, Lean covers more than that. Lean is a management strategy, which focuses on waste, that is, it is committed to eliminating all waste. This enables Lean to step out of the workshop, expand to the entire enterprise and achieve success, and it also enables Lean thinking to blossom in a variety of industries such as financial institutions, hospitals and fast food takeout.

For nearly a decade, CIO has been looking for ways to lean IT, and enforcing ERP solutions is an excellent way to make IT lean. Abandoning the use of disposable spreadsheets and duplicate data entry can significantly reduce resource waste and streamline business processes, but there is a simpler way to eliminate more covert waste: migrate to the cloud.

Gradually achieve lean IT with the help of cloud computing

The core principle of Lean is to eliminate all activities that do not create value for customers. After using cloud computing, there is no need to spend time performing repetitive work, because repetitive work does not create any value for users, that is, IT customers. Daily and basic repetitive tasks such as backup, database adjustment, management, and print queuing can be easily outsourced, freeing up IT resources to engage in more strategic activities and enable companies to make better use of key resources, that is, the knowledge and experience of IT teams.

How to achieve Lean IT?

is looking for ways to improve supply chain transparency and communication skills to reduce costs and delivery times.

improves financial processes to reduce settlement time and accounts receivable turnover days and improve compliance without increasing risk

All of the above measures can reduce costs, but the implementation of these measures requires a cross-functional perspective, combining system capabilities and business process modeling tools, specifically the use of IT skills and expertise. Releasing these valuable resources for more efficient users through the cloud is the best example of lean IT.
