The city of Philadelphia is eerily quiet this morning. I live in city-center Philadelphia. Like the barrel of the gun that I see across the street protecting Pope Francis in City Center Philadelphia, I think it is time for all manufacturing companies to rethink safe and secure.

Companies with tightly coupled ERP planning tools–those from SAP and Oracle– feel stuck. The ERP beast is labor-intensive and a barrier to good planning.
