Escape Velocity Process ERP Perfect Fit Ictc According to Morphix
Aug 24, 2010 Bakery Recipes
Morphix Business Consulting (www.morphix.biz), the strategic alliance consulting firm working with Escape Velocity Systems, was instrumental in helping ICTC select O2. Morphix came into ICTC very “low key” without pressure to buy; spoke about needs, business issues and pains without software pushing. The initial consultation was followed up with a demonstration to the main ICTC contact who was quite excited with the initial presentation and Morphix followed up with a second demonstration with a few other key players including lab and sales and the direct reporting vice-president.
Kim Olesen, B.Sc.,C.P.P., Distribution Manager of Innovative Chemical Technologies Canada Ltd. (ICTC), is the Project Manager for the selection of a Process Manufacturing ERP (enterprise resource planning) system and worked on three other implementations in previous positions from a very large corporate environment to a small company size. Olesen selected O2, by Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) (www.evs-sw.com).
What prompted the need for this new ERP system was the rapid growth ICTC experienced in recent years. According to Olesen, “We needed a system that would handle growing financial and process manufacturing needs; with O2 by Escape Velocity Systems, ICTC was able to get the scope and breadth out of the system needed plus the ability of the system to scale as ICTC continues to grow.”
ICTC’s next step was to take to the project to the executives (including President/CFO); following this demonstration Morphix was asked to prepare a quote immediately; the project was approved without being budgeted (extra-ordinary purchase). Customer testimonial on the software solution were shared and Morphix had patience with ICTC during the buying process (15-month buying cycle), and helped with proving the ROI (return-on-investment) in the ERP purchase.
ICTC is a process manufacturer; process manufacturing describes a manufacturing process whereby materials are blended, cooked, or mixed as opposed to assembled from discrete units. Some needs common to process manufacturing industries are:
• Formulas (or recipes) are ratios, not static bills of material
• Split bill of material: several products can share one formula, yet have different packaging
• Flexibility with units of measure
• Stringent quality control, with recall ability
• Lot grading / attribute tracking and calculation
Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) was formed in 2002 to combine specific industry knowledge related to process manufacturing, distribution, and ERP implementations with cutting edge software development. The company focus is to create tools that enable mid-market enterprises to achieve their goals, focusing on lean processes and ROI. According to President Evan Garber, “We realize that good ERP software is the hub of information in any process manufacturing enterprise. Timely, reliable, and centralized data are non-negotiable elements for businesses competing in the 21st century.”
The term escape velocity refers to the speed that is necessary for an object to overcome gravity and soar into space. EVS provides direct applications for businesses looking for a catalyst, not just a software package. Process manufacturers require the best software solution coupled with industry experience that will accelerate the velocity with which they race towards their goals. The gravity of status-quo opposes aggressive, cutting edge organizations as they strive towards high quality and short lead time delivery while reducing inventories and operating costs.

Escape Velocity Provides ROI for Process Manufacturers

According to Escape Velocity Systems (www.evs-sw.com) process (formula based) manufacturing differs greatly from discrete manufacturing. There are two basic categories of manufacturing software, discrete and process. Discrete manufacturing systems are generally designed around a bill of material containing whole, or discrete quantities of materials such as 1 axle, 2 tires, etc. Process manufacturing systems are driven by formulas such as 90% water, 5% flavoring, etc. Process manufacturers usually blend or mix materials rather than cutting, shaping, or assembling hard goods. Hybrid manufacturers combine process and discrete components. A good example would be a cosmetic company that mixes a batch of lip stick bulk and fills the bulk into a base container (process manufacturing), then assembles this into a finished product with a packaging and label bill of material (discrete manufacturing).
Few technology solutions are available in the process manufacturing arena; even fewer focus on ROI (return-on-investment.) EVS suggests enterprise software should power businesses towards a Lean enterprise and that powerful technology drives long term ROI with customizable and flexible software.
