I am often asked to take transactions out of processes as they are seen as non value add activity. What I find amusing is not this lack of understanding or the naivety of driving to such a limited lean dogma, but often its without any real understanding of the underlying process – or what those transactions are for.
The first truth is there is a cost to all transactions
The second truth is transactions add control
The question is then what is the cost of no control or how much do you want to pay for it?
Do you want to know what stage a production order is at? Do you want to know where your inventory or finished goods are? Do you need to manage batch controlled stock? Do your customers want production batch visibility?
If you want to control these things, you have to record them. We can streamline that process, but the transaction still has to happen. So when we say “Less nil value add transactions” let make sure that actually what you mean. As opposed to streamline the ones we need and remove the ones that add no control.
Fantastic website you have here but I was curious
about if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get advice from other knowledgeabble individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Many thanks!
Hey Margaret,
There are loads of forums in various areas, I am a volunteer on MixERP and join other groups in areas I like, but it really depends on my time. Often the people on the forums are just folk with more time than work or don’t have a job ! so not always the best advice. I used to use http://www.tek-tips.com/ back in the day and I was a regular Paradox & Crystal Reports top tipster, but now in the SAP space I don’t really use any other than the consultants friend …. GOOGLE
I just write a blog as a form of self expression. Maybe this will become one of those forums in the fullness of time !
However if you find a good one let me know and I will have a look to.

“You must make deals – taking no action, does no good. You may lose your focus (as happened with Trump when things went south) or drive.

Whats up this is somewhat of offf topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
iff you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have
no coding skills sso I wantged to get guidance from someone with experience.
Anyy help woulkd be enormously appreciated!
Hey Georgina,
Its easy, most of the blog sites come with a WYSIWYG editor, but there are tools you can use to import work or even notepad files into a blog.
The issue is finding relevant and interesting comments
I do not even kjow how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
