By Brian Anderson

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) market has long underserved manufacturing companies. Countless options are available, but finding the right solution for your operations can be tricky.

Learn how the right manufacturing ERP software can transform your business operations and increase productivity. Read on to learn more!

What is Manufacturing ERP?

Just like mid-market companies have different needs than smaller and larger companies, different manufacturing operations require different types of ERP. Let’s look at the main types you’ll come across:

Discrete Manufacturing ERP: The Building Blocks Approach

This type of system is ideal for companies that build products one piece at a time. Think of it as the LEGO approach to manufacturing – every piece matters and is easily disassembled!

Process Manufacturing ERP: The Flow Masters

If your business has a stream of continuous production (food, beverages, or chemicals, for example), you need an app to keep up with the flow. That’s where Process Manufacturing ERP can come in!

Mixed-Mode Manufacturing ERP: The Best of Both Worlds

Why choose between discrete and process when you can have both? Mixed-mode systems offer the flexibility you need to tackle any manufacturing challenge that comes your way.

Must-Have Features in Your Manufacturing ERP

Inventory Management That Works

No more stock-outs or overstocked inventory! With real-time inventory tracking and automated reordering, you will always have the parts you need when you need them. This is especially important when dealing with raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods.

Supply Chain Management That Delivers

Know your suppliers, but more importantly, know how to talk to them. Modern ERP systems provide full visibility and control over your entire supply chain, helping you avoid costly disruptions.

Production Planning That Makes Sense

Maximize your throughput with intelligent capacity planning & real-time shop floor control. Predictive manufacturing for your production line!
