"Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit."

Issue 28
Dear David,
If you haven't done so already, please check out component exchange. See why it is growing and why users like it. You can visit the site by clicking here.
In our last survey, we learned that 80% of you are using standard triggers for notifications and system maintenance, but only 30% have created custom triggers.
This issue focuses on the purposes of the triggers and how users can get more from automated system notifications.
As always, we look forward to your participation and feedback as you gain new insights and become a more effective provider of Electronic Manufacturing Services.
Sincerely,
David Sharp

Triggers
|
North Eastern Company (NE Company)* is looking for a systems method for automating communication. They would like the system to communicate internally, with customers, and with suppliers.
They have been relying on users to create and send appropriate notifications. While the method has mosly been successful, they want to leverage their available tools to automate the process and allow their employees to focus on profit generating activities.
What tools are available? How can they best implement the new process? What issues and challenges will they face?
