Epicor Consultant | Process Optimization Expert | Upgrade-Compliant Solutions Architect:Helping Organizations Unlock Epicor’s Full Potential with Streamlined, Upgrade-Ready, User-Friendly SolutionsWith a career spanning over 20 years in Manufacturing Operations and as an Epicor Consultant, I specialize in driving substantial process improvements that reduce cycle times and simplify operations. My approach leverages standard Epicor configuration tools, ensuring seamless upgrades for sustained success.Why I Stand Out:Occam's Razor – Complexity leads to inefficiencies, errors, and maintenance headaches. I focus on helping organizations to develop and implement processes which are easy to perform and maintain, while automating non-value-added steps, and have built-in exception reporting.Business Intelligence – With process automation continuing to grow exponentially, the availability of real-time exception data feedback can be the difference between success and failure. I have extensive experience in the development of KPI Dashboards, Real-Time Alerts, and various Business Intelligence tools, all of which are integrated with Epicor and external systems.Upgrade-Ready Solutions -- My expertise extends to crafting solutions that are firmly rooted in standard Epicor configuration tools. This guarantees that your systems remain upgrade compliant, providing long-term value.Notable Achievements:Supplier Update Portal: Provides suppliers with open order detail and RFQs. Allows Buyers to upload supplier responses to mass update open order status with a button click.Critical Path Calculations: Using built in or custom multilevel pegging, identifies longest lead time path through multiple levels of operations and materials. Job Schedule Exception Analysis, tagging of critical items, and action item tracking: Provides a hub for managing jobs with multiple critical action items that require monitoring and effective, real time status updates.Developed tools to generate Timephase, Multilevel Pegging, and Global Scheduling datasets offline using raw Epicor data only: This provided a significantly improved level of analysis and exception alerting capabilities that were not practical within Epicor.Developed a custom, standalone ERP system in MS Access: used by a medical device startup for all facets of Product Data Management, Inventory Control, Purchasing, Quality Control, and Costing.
