When project teams from manufacturing and distribution companies head into business process improvement, ERP (enterprise resource planning) evaluation, selection or implementation, our role as an independent ERP consultant team is of critical value.
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 food and beverage manufacturers we speak with are challenged to comply with current and future regulations. Ever-changing regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act and GS1 make compliance challenging.
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.
Project teams face unique challenges when implementing food and beverage enterprise systems. Due to the complexity of such technology initiatives, it pays to ask questions about what’s critical to the business.
Plan, measure, and deliver business performance and profitability improvements to manufacturers & distributors, using our deep industry expertise and proven methodology.
