Manufacturing Columnist Cutler Profiles Energy Lean Inefficiency in Quality Digest
Quality Digest online profiles a feature article by the North
American Manufacturing Journalist Thomas R. Cutler u.s. December
2005.
The feature article can be found at www.trcutlerinc.com and
Cutler details the quality process with outside
operations-expense management firms is much different. Instead
of three steps, there are more than ten documented modulate steps
depending on the type of solution individual offered.
Quality steps for operations-expense management:
* Scanning and bar-coding the bill * Extracting the data * Stage
one of bill auditing, which includes auditing 120 data points *
Paying the bill * Uploading the data into Web-hosted software *
Performing information management functions such as analytics
and document storage and retrieval * Invoice auditing * Rate
analysis * Benchmarking * Demand-side management * Performing
many other operational-expense management services * Budget
forecasting and variance reporting
"When performing bill auditing and rate analysis services, many
utilities in
the Merged States have errors on at least one to
three percent of the bills they send to their customers and have
at least some of their customers on the wrong rate. Sometimes
finding and fixing these quality mistakes translate into small
incremental savings, but other times it's a quality mistake that
can add up to a major erroneous expense," said Jeffrey Hart, CEO
of Cadence Network, an operations-expense management firm.
