US Manufacturer ERP Rescue and Stabilization
ERP rescue, manufacturing stabilization, MRP, costing, month-end close.
An operation running at scale without the systems to match it.
The organization ran multiple sites with continuous inventory movement — a volume and complexity that had outgrown its manual processes.
- Sage X3 had been live for 18 months but never stabilized.
- MRP suggestions were ignored by planners. Production scheduling happened in spreadsheets.
- Standard cost and actual cost did not reconcile. Variances were not understood.
- Month-end close took 18+ days. The CFO was considering replacement.
A warehouse execution platform built end-to-end in Sage X3.
2-week assessment
Identified the actual root causes: master-data gaps in BOMs and routings, planning policy misconfiguration, and accounting code errors driving cost variance.
MRP and master data repair
Cleaned BOMs and routings, set planning policies item-by-item, and worked alongside planners to rebuild trust in MRP output.
Costing reconciliation
Repaired accounting code configuration so production transactions posted cleanly. Built a costing reconciliation report finance could use monthly.
Close acceleration
Documented a close checklist, eliminated several reconciliation spreadsheets, and built a 6-day close calendar.
