“ SUPPLY AGILITY CAN BE ACHIEVED ONLY BY REMOVING HUMAN ROLES FROM SUPPLY THINKING ”
HEIN PRETORIOUS CEO , ONPRO
Traditional approach to ERP ‘ will hold you back ’ Hein Pretorious is CEO of South Africa-based digital transformation solutions provider , OnPro . He says that the traditional approach to ERP “ will hold you back .”
Pretorious warns : “ It will consume your attention , your budget , your energy and your team . Large , drawn-out ERP projects can actually destroy competitiveness , as well as some very talented people in your business . ERP is no longer the platform you build your business on . All-consuming enterprise-wide projects like this should be a thing of the past .”
Instead , he urges businesses to invest their time , energy , budget and - most importantly - their strategic thinking into how to best embrace digital transformation .
“ Adapt your thinking to the art-of-thepossible . Think about disruption , and how you can reinvent your business by embracing Industry 4.0 technology . Take your people with you . Get them excited .”
When it comes to supply chain , automation - not ERP solutions - should be the name of the game , says Pretorious - and robotic process automation ( RPA ) should be leading the charge . supplychaindigital . com 115
