Business initiatives such as ERP system consolidation, enterprise spend management, total productivity management (TPM) and improving overall equipment efficiency (OEE) have one thing in common. That is dependency on a clean, classified and attribute enriched master data. Master data that is wrongly classified can result in:
Increased inventory & procurement costs
Decreased plant & equipment availability
Bloated vendor base due to similar entries
Payment & taxation related errors/frauds
To prevent such a system collapse, it is essential to consolidate, rationalize/normalize and enrich material and vendor master data that can be transformed into a source of competitive strength for these enterprises.
