Net Weights Solution
Optimizing and controlling the net weight of packaged products has a direct impact on a company's bottom line. Being able to maintain tight tolerances for product net weight while achieving regulatory compliance is critical for improving overall yield and reducing product costs. But always delivering the target net weight for a product isn't easy. To be sure that maximum allowable variance (MAV) specifications are satisfied, and that production volumes are delivered, many manufacturers operate with a wide bias towards the upper-level of their tolerances. But operating in such a manner is not only literally giving product away, it's also unnecessary. To address these issues, EnteGreat developed its Net Weights Solution, which is focused on optimization and control of the overall net weight process.

Manufacturing Systems Standards
While the business of manufacturing is completely enmeshed with the use of systems - this can seem like both a blessing and a curse. The manner in which systems initiatives are handled can be the difference between moving ahead of your competition or being left behind. Taking a programmatic approach to manufacturing systems and establishing an overarching structure that addresses manufacturing systems as an on-going portfolio of projects instead of as separate initiatives is essential. Such an approach enables consistent alignment with business strategy, creation and reuse of common objects, as well as cross-functional governance while tracking towards a standard solution architecture. This approach avoids waste and duplication while leveraging earlier investments in a manner that dramatically drives down the overall cost of manufacturing systems and accelerates deployment of standardized solutions.

Plant Readiness Assessments
The deployment of manufacturing systems offers great benefits as well as great risk, without appropriate planning and a proven methodology. A critical aspect of to successful deployment campaigns for manufacturing systems is making sure that the facilities receiving the new systems are properly prepared. But making sure that plants are ready is much more than just a technical exercise of replacing existing hardware and software. Making sure that the new systems mesh with each plant's overall operating environment (business processes, data, operating procedures, systems, organizational structure, systems support, etc.) and that each plant's workforce is ready to use the new systems to drive improved business performance from Day 1 is what distinguishes successful deployments / roll-outs. Achieving these objectives requires a holistic view of plant readiness - that's what EnteGreat's Plant Readiness Assessment methodology is all about.

Change Management
Delivering and implementing new processes and systems within manufacturing environments is challenging. Companies invest in new manufacturing processes and systems to achieve improved business performance, but achieving the expected results requires more than just technology. Making sure that new processes and systems are adopted by a plant's workforce and entrenched in a regimented manner that delivers on-going sustainable business value is what makes the difference. That requires a thorough understanding of manufacturing processes, technical expertise, and - most importantly - a focus on the human dimension of manufacturing systems. EnteGreat's Change Management Methodology has proven itself as a highly effective mechanism to engage plant workforces, manage risk, and deliver sustainable business performance improvements.
