One of our customers told us that they were on a journey from operating as a big-little company to growing into a little-big company.

As we looked deeper into their system, we discovered that their Part Setup was significantly affecting their business culture. Is it possible that something as banal as Master File Setup can have ripple effects to the cultural makeup of your business? We believe it can. The setup of the Part Master File can significantly effect the visibility, availability and accountability of supply and demand for people working in the front office and on the shop floor.
