	What Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS 18001) and Should I Care? An OHSMS promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows your organization to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance. OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognized assessment specification for occupational health and safety management systems.

	What Is ISO 9000 And Should I Care? ISO 9000 consists of a series of Quality Management System standards that are designed to facilitate and enable consistency of a product or service and thereby ensure that customer requirements are met or exceeded. They can be applied in any manufacturing industry or service sector. The value of certification to customers is evident, but the quality of the certificate is also important. All certificates are not equal. As more and more companies become certified, buyers are looking at the reputation of the registrar. DNV's approach is one of a partnership. Our goal is to provide organizations with value–added services that result in a certification which is recognized and accepted by its customers and prospects.

	The Impact of Lean on Consumer Product Manufacturers The real challenge to Lean, however, requires this first change, a shift in the culture. Consumer products manufacturers are early on in their Lean journey compared to companies across industry, with 56% less than a year to 3 years into it. By leveraging external expertise and taking small steps in their Lean programs, these manufacturers are setting their sights on reducing cost, driving down inventory, and sustaining a culture of Lean throughout the enterprise. But success is being found by those Best in Class consumer products manufacturers that go the next step by tying their Lean objectives into business opportunities, and by measuring the impact of the Lean program. These companies are placing more emphasis on monitoring the metrics that are tied with success, including inventory and on–time delivery, to truly maximize the competitive advantage to be responsive to the customer. Prepared by Aberdeen Group
	Strategies to Run a Lean Supply Chain: How Principles of Lean Manufacturing Transfer Benefits to Operations In the last several years, the manufacturing sector has moved from vertically organized structures to horizontal organizations; that is, a single company no longer controls its product from, let's say, the mine to the store shelf. Instead, today's companies control only pieces of the supply chain, and the companies and divisions controlling those various components may be located just about anywhere in the world. This model enables companies to concentrate on what they do best, but as a result the supply chain has become longer and more complex. The blurring of the line between manufacturing and supply chain logistics provides the opportunity to move efficient manufacturing management concepts to supply chain management. One manufacturing concept stands out as most successful: the concept of lean. This white paper was written by Ventana Research, Sponsored by Epicor Software.
	Service Delivery Optimization: Managing Outsourced Service Partners to Drive Customer Satisfaction and Profitability Best–in–Class companies enjoy a 90% customer satisfaction rate.

	Lean Manufacturing: Five Tips for Reducing Waste in the Supply Chain Best–in–Class companies enjoy 3% lower inventory carrying costs by being over twice as likely as other manufacturers to implement a demand driven supply chain. Best–in–Class companies have enjoyed 4% reductions in customer lead times by being over 2x as likely to use shared metrics between manufacturing and the supply chain. Best–in–Class companies enjoy 5% more perfect orders than Industry Average organizations. Reducing operational costs and meeting customer mandates are more important than they have been for years. Consumption across the board is shrinking, forcing companies to adapt and run as efficiently as possible.

	Achieving Flexible Business Processes: The Convergence of B2B, SOA, and BPM Most enterprises have had Business–to–Business (B2B) capability in place for years, but most have not upgraded these systems to take advantage of two newer technologies: Service–Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Management (BPM). This Forrester Consulting survey of leading IT practitioners presents the status of current B2B programs. Key findings from this survey include: Enterprises suffer from various forms disjointed B2B activities, which are the result of not having a comprehensive B2B platform in place. Most enterprises have not incorporated SOA and BPM features into their B2B operations. Many enterprises have plans to update their B2B capability, but 50% of those with update plans have no specific activity scheduled for at least 12 months. Enterprises that use a comprehensive suite (that includes SOA and BPM features) for their integration requirements achieve higher levels of B2B integration success than those that rely on either multiple best–of–breed products or custom development. The convergence of B2B, SOA and BPM technologies is enabling comprehensive integration solutions that are particularly well suited for B2B operation upgrades and provide the capability for enterprises to extend their reach beyond organizational and geopolitical boundaries.

	5 Ways ERP Can Help You Implement Lean Becoming lean has been a goal of most companies over the last few years. Why is lean so popular? Lean delivers what companies really need in today's highly competitive world: shorter lead times, improved quality, reduced cost, increased profit, improved productivity, and better customer service. To become Lean, a company must take a hard look at processes and practices to identify those that do not add value. The continuous pursuit of waste elimination is the essence of Lean. As Lean thinking has evolved and the concepts broadened, Lean advocates have come to recognize that ERP and Lean work together very well. The 5 lean principles of value definition and specification, value stream mapping, uninterrupted flow, customer pull and the pursuit of perfection are all supported and enhanced by comprehensive information control and the management tools that an end–to–end enterprise software suite delivers.
