About Rick Dunne

For the past 20 years I have worked closely with manufacturers, mostly plastics processors and tooling companies to identify inefficiencies in their business operations and implement positive change through vertically integrated, plastic specific ERP systems that can help drive the business forward while improving management structure and financial reporting. Most often the critical objects are the integration of all operations and departments from front office to shop floor within a single solution tied so all departments work in unison. Through this streamlined and integrated workflow these plastics processors gain significant operational insights and management tools such as: 1) Optimized production planning and machine scheduling resulting in a reduction of machine downtime due to change over, set ups and purged material. 2) Real time Material Requirement Planning "MRP" with streamlined purchasing dashboards resulting in a significant reduction of costly last minute purchases of raw material and rescheduled production runs 3) Shop floor data acquisition resulting in accurate financial reporting true standard vs. actual costing for every job, product group, shift and customer resulting that then drives more accurate quoting, the ability to easily re cost products 4) Real time inventory control (which may or may not include inventory by location and lot control tracing for material certification) improving overall on-time delivery caused by lack of accurate shop floor recording and elimination of physical count surprises that seriously erodes your bottom line.
