Manufacturing

Manufacturing organizations have to constantly innovate to stay ahead of the curve and gain competitive advantages. To achieve this, manufacturers have to depend on technology for inventory management, resource allocation, product design, production scheduling, process optimization, and more, involving a mix of discrete, process, and lean manufacturing methods managed through distinct systems.  In addition, there is a demand for green manufacturing, contract manufacturing, and managing a global workforce.

The battle is on two fronts. Manufacturers have to keep an eye on the manufacturing process, supply chain, inventory, and work force; and another on the market to watch for industry trends and evolving client needs. All this, while complying with local and regional laws and environmental regulations.

To address these challenges, manufacturing firms need real-time access to role-specific information along with the tools to help teams perform their tasks, in the office or on the shop floor, from any location around the world. An ERP solution can help with this while also offering capabilities to support different manufacturing models as well as scheduling resources to jobs and operations across multiple locations.
