Complex manufacturing organizations typically seek to simplify the production of engineered, ordered, planned, and controlled products that are configured or assembled uniquely for each customer order.
Ultra provides expertise related to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems for process manufacturers. Process manufacturers work with ingredients instead of parts, and the production process is more focused on recipes and formulas than traditional bills of materials.
Many teams we meet with have questions during ERP software selection. Based on our 25-year history as an independent ERP consulting firm, Ultra Consultants knows that an ERP project will deliver success only when it is built on business process improvement rather than driven merely by ERP system features.
The Ultra ERP Blog keeps pace with enterprise software market activity – especially as it relates to ERP selection and enterprise software implementation.
This guest post looks at ways manufacturers are using ERP to complement their lean production methods.
As a member of Ultra’s team of independent ERP consultants guiding manufacturers and distributors, I often work with engineering-intensive companies seeking the capabilities of product lifecycle management software (PLM). These organizations seek to improve the productivity of engineering resources and reduce the time to develop new products.
Many of the manufacturing and distribution teams we speak with dread negotiating an ERP contract.
While this task comes at the end of business process improvement, technology evaluation and selection, we certainly understand the fear and trepidation project teams might experience when anticipating this task.
Plan, measure, and deliver business performance and profitability improvements to manufacturers & distributors, using our deep industry expertise and proven methodology.
