“The biggest advantage now is we can see problems before they become big problems,” Perry said.
“We can be more proactive, whereas in the past we were reactive. Schedules, purchasing and manufacturing, not to mention the environment, are a lot more stable; a lot more manageable. We can track performance by sales, production or inventories and see if we’re meeting our targeted goals.”
