Business Process Management (BPM) Solutions for Manufacturing

BPM solutions for manufacturing coordinate activity across people, processes and systems to help manufacturing organizations respond to supply chain events rapidly and effectively. Whether it is production scheduling, managing orders, materials, quality, or other processes, BPM solutions for manufacturing can accelerate the adoption of best practices across the manufacturing enterprise. We help our customers digitize their business processes and implement workflow management solutions that are effective in improving efficiency, quality and productivity.

Some examples of BPM and workflow management solutions that JMP delivers for our customers:

ERP and supply chain solutions often lose track of material once it hits the manufacturing floor. JMP recognizes the need for more detailed tracking, tracing, and material management in the manufacturing environment. JMP solutions enable our customers to get a handle on real-time material yield and actual vs. standardized material use during the manufacturing process. Material management solutions designed for the manufacturing environment enable best practices that result in lower inventory levels and higher yields.

"Mass customization" and "just in time" programs have driven manufacturers to shorter production runs and higher mix of products across their manufacturing lines. Efficient and agile tools for order management and production scheduling are necessary and effective in optimizing the production mix to meet customer demand and supply chain events. JMP implements tools that can enable manual scheduling as well as perform algorithm-based detailed production scheduling. The primary benefit of these tools is efficient asset utilization and improved customer responsiveness.

Our customers often produce complex products with complex processes, making quality management an increasing challenge. The need for real-time, closed-loop quality management is evident. JMP works with our customers to architect and implement solutions for statistical process control, real-time quality analysis, centerlining, defect analysis and laboratory information management. Our solutions are designed to impact first pass yield, ensure quality, improve customer satisfaction and protect brand equity.

JMP customers are often faced with reducing the cost and risk of regulatory compliance. Our solutions range across multiple industries and address compliance needs for a range of regulatory agencies. We enable efficient and worry-free regulatory compliance with systems that enforce regulated procedures and streamline the data collection and reporting that is necessary for regulatory compliance. The result is lower risk and lower cost of compliance for our customers.

JMP has experience applying business process management solutions for manufacturing in specific industries. This experience allows JMP to develop and deliver repeatable solutions to common business problems. Examples include OEE, tracking/tracing, quality management in the Food and Beverage industry, as well as defect management, error proofing and product genealogy in the Automotive/Discrete assembly industry. These repeatable solutions accelerate the time-to-value and reduce the cost and risk of deployment for our customers.
