ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a sophisticated software suite that encompasses all the aspects of running a manufacturing company. ERP enables those running manufacturing facilities to coordinate and plan across their enterprise. A complete ERP system would include such areas as forecasting, marketing, CRM, sales order management, engineering, material and capacity planning, supply chain, finance and accounting, quality control, management of plant assets, post-sale service and repair, and everything else that goes into making things - all on one platform. This creates faster and more accurate coordination across the company, saves time, and avoids having to track down the people who have the information you need. Management gets faster, more complete, and more accurate reporting and can react quickly to changes in the business.
Some of the questions a good ERP can answer for you are:
How do I know what to build or buy?
What does it cost to make my products?
What Purchase Orders are late?
Where are my bottlenecks?
Who should be working on what jobs on the floor?
How do I know what is on back-order?
What is the status of the jobs on the floor?
How do I forecast my future production needs?
and much much, more . . .
