Imagine being able to talk to your manufacturing system in the same way you talk to a colleague. AI ERP questions could provide a much quicker way to access the information you need. Instead of navigating menus and running reports, you simply ask what you want to know.
Here are ten examples…
1. “Which customer orders are overdue?”
Instantly identify orders requiring attention.
2. “Which manufacturing orders are running late?”
Focus production management on exceptions rather than reviewing every job.
3. “Which products are below safety stock?”
Identify potential inventory shortages.
4. “Which materials could stop production next week?”
Combine inventory requirements with upcoming production demand.
5. “What are my biggest open customer orders?”
Give management immediate visibility of significant commitments.
6. “What purchase orders are overdue?”
Highlight supplier deliveries requiring attention.
7. “Which customers have bought the most from us this year?”
Turn operational information into useful customer insight.
8. “What products are selling faster than expected?”
Identify potential demand changes before they become stock problems.
9. “What needs my attention today?”
Potentially one of the most powerful questions of all. Rather than managers searching for problems, AI identifies exceptions requiring intervention.
10. “What should I be worried about next week?”
This is where things become particularly interesting. AI moves from simply reporting what has happened towards helping managers anticipate what might happen next.
The ability to ask these questions won’t remove the need for good ERP data. In fact, it makes good data even more important. AI is only as useful as the business information it can access. The opportunity is to make that information easier to access, understand and act upon without always having to search through systems or run another report.
