Coining the Term

At CPG, we focus on Oracle solutions for companies that design, manufacture and distribute products. We’ve coined the acronym “EMSC.” It stands for Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain and that is how we refer to our market. CPG has built its implementation methodology, Fundamentals 1st, specifically for EMSC companies.

Honing the Focus

Whether a company manufactures and distributes pharmaceuticals or aerospace technology, there are common issues, challenges and visions that are part of the business of bringing physical products to market. These companies face a constant demand for increased efficiency, innovation, & cost reduction.

The following are the business reasons that are often driving technology investments today

• Business Intelligence.  The need for real-time data capture and reporting that can be immediately used to optimize performance. Reports are no longer weekly or daily - data is captured and used down to the minute.
• Margin-driven manufacturing.  Providing business and operations teams with the capability to make real-time production decisions leads to profitability. 
• Moving from automation islands to fluid, rationalized processes.  This is the result of progress in automation. Now, connecting the processes together is the next step to continuing to drive down costs. 
• Lean, green and sustainability.
• Managing across borders. Increasingly complex operations.
