Enterprise resource planning (ERP) can be put to use in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing companies. However, a specific kind of ERP software has been devised for manufacturing industries and it is referred to as the manufacturing ERP software. Manufacturing ERP systems enable all the departments of a manufacturing company to work together in a coordinated manner, sans all external interfaces. Earlier, when there were individual programs that ran for individual processes, there were risks of cross platform compatibility, which is now ruled out.
Moreover, the combined version of ERP and MRP yield integrated workflow processes that are created to maximize the use of resources, to minimize the total cost of the entire production process and to administer the resources’ entire life cycle - acquisition of raw materials, production planning, manufacturing, marketing, sales and financial settlement.
ERP system manufacturing software has been devised in order to cater to the needs of the minor, mid-sized, make to order, engineer to order, mixed mode, discrete, small and large manufacturing industries all around the world. The biggest advantage of this type of manufacturing ERP software is that they can be customized according to the requirements of your organization. This is the reason the system can deal with all the business processes starting from manufacturing up to invoicing and also handles quality control, packing, formulation and quotation. In addition to all this you can also manage batch sheet processing, batch ticket processing, bill of materials, and sale of private labels. Thus, manufacturing ERP systems ensure improved productivity, reduced costs and improved customer services in an organization.
