STRATEGY

PerfOps develops strategic solutions focused in areas of systems and operations. We create solutions which leverage technology and improve operations in targeted areas while answering to the needs of the business.

  • Understand the business

  • Determine how systems and operations initiatives can improve the business

  • Develop high level design solutions and roadmaps

  • Identify needed resources

  • Ensure sustainability (all areas)

  • Develop budgets and timelines

SOFTWARE SELECTION

PerfOps has developed and maintains a superior software selection process which advances preparatory activities earlier in the process, thereby preparing the client's team for software licensing when it is appropriate. Work products are available during selection to ensure relevant and understandable software demonstrations. These same work products are then ready for implementation to reduce timelines. Our methodology addresses selection of the software product and solution provider, and highlights functional and resource gaps that need to be addressed.

  •  Lead all selection processes

  • Requirements preparation

  • Pre-selection of software platforms

  • Use case development

  • Organization of demo data

  • Unbiased evaluation of software product and solution provider

  • Identification of functional and resource gaps

  • Fit to owner’s culture and ability to sustain the system

ADVANCED PLANNING & SCHEDULING

Performance Operations has strong expertise in Advanced Planning and Scheduling solutions for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain.  We understand both supply driven scenarios such as are prevalent in agricultural and fresh pack operations as well as demand driven operations.  We focus on developing owner teams, systems selection and integration, implementation and optimization.

  • Forecasting Solutions

  • Demand Planning

  • Master Production Scheduling

  • Pack Planning

  • Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)

  • Assessments

  • Optimization

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

PerfOps projects create change.  Traditional structures may require change to meet today’s challenges and fully realize the potential of modern systems.  We may be addressing structures which were more appropriate for previous technologies or business environments.  Optimally solutions may benefit from simplified organizational structures, thereby enhancing thruput and quality with fewer people.

  • Assessments (Technology and Operations)

  • Organizational Development Planning and Execution

  • Resourcing for Systems and Operations Initiatives

SYSTEMS EXPERTISE

 

ERP

PerfOps maintains a superior methodology for selecting enterprise software as well as finding the right ERP solution provider for each project. We reduce risk, ensure the right fit and identify resource gaps prior to spending on software licenses and solution provider services. During implementation, PerfOps offers a complete portfolio of services scaled and provided on an as needed basis, including project management, solution design, process and SOP development, training, application of technology, project governance and executive advisory.

WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION & WMS

PerfOps has been guiding the selection, designing and implementing warehouse management and automated material handling systems since 1988. There is nothing we haven’t seen in warehousing and distribution including all forms of Automated Data Collection (ADC) and every level of real-time automation. PerfOps can operate across all activities from the initial vision through facility design, storage and material handling equipment selection, software implementation and process optimization. Our team of project, operations and technology professionals can provide any level of service you require to achieve your warehousing objectives.

TMS

PerfOps has been working with TMS solutions for the past 20 years, including integration of such systems with ERP and WMS, and assisting owners with implementation. Our methods of bringing all resources together, including supply chain partners, to develop the optimum “to be” process, build stronger teams offering more supply chain resilience. As with all our areas of focus, we can work from initial vision through software and vendor selection, solution design, testing and optimization.  Our project management and governance methods ensure these solutions actually achieve stated objectives. We help design and conduct testing and ensure project timelines are maintained.

MES

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are all part of PerfOps’ foundational expertise.  PerfOps’ founder specialized in this area for 20 years prior to founding PerfOps and our teams regularly address MES and other related automation subjects on our projects.  PerfOps maintains the skills and methods to lead selection, implementation and optimization of MES solutions, along with the integration of MES solutions into ERP and Asset/Maintenance systems. We were there before the term “MES” was coined and we literally helped develop the standards and write the handbooks defining what MES is today.

OTHER ENTERPRISE LEVEL SOLUTIONS

PerfOps has deep experience in other supply chain related solution technologies such as PLM, QMS, CMMS, etc. We can quickly generate Enterprise Software Roadmaps which pull all these functions together into a coherent system over the appropriate timeframes. The same methods we apply to ERP and WMS for software and solution provider selection, project planning, governance and management applying to projects in these areas.

 
 

Our knowledge and experience across these operations areas gives us the means to quickly create effective systems and operations roadmaps which speed deployment, reduce rework and protect owners’ investments.

  • Our professionals work together because they prefer to and not because they happen to be employed by the same firm. PerfOps is a principled organization and our team members meet a high level of standards.

  • While our teams focus on each project’s goals, our team members must also demonstrate a commitment to achieving long-term results for clients beyond each project’s specific scope.

  • The PerfOps consortium is comprised of highly experienced individuals. Most team members exceed 10 years of continuous skills development in their chosen areas of work.

Solutions are the sum of People + Process + Technology. Any combination of these not in balance leads to sub-optimal results at best.  PerfOps’ methods have been optimized in this regard with the objective of leaving the client team better prepared to maintain and improve the solution for the long term.
