Process Manufacturing ERP Software

Industries Served by Process Manufacturing ERP Software

Process manufacturers work with ingredients instead of parts and the production process is more focused on recipes and formulas than traditional bills of materials.  Production is often continuous or executed in batches.  Many processors operate in a hybrid environment where the process produced good is then packaged or formed into a discrete unit more common in discrete operations.

  • Chemical
  • Coatings/Paint
  • Food Beverage
  • Metal Processing
  • Oil/Gas Processing
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Plastics
  • Other Process

Requirements of a Process Manufacturing Solution

The process manufacturing sector has specific ERP needs and requirement, including:

  • Heavy regulation
  • Formulation
  • Compliance documentation
  • Quality control
  • Inventory management

When considering ERP solution, it’s important to ensure that processors can make products to spec, while minimizing waste and inefficiency as well as delays in time to market.

ERP Systems for Food and Beverage Industry

Since food and beverage is such a critical part of the process industry, it’s worth noting that food and beverage manufacturers evaluating ERP need to gain a high level of traceability to better manage their overall operations.

Companies should look for the food ERP system that provides the best process visibility – which will enable them to meet their stringent requirements and avoid delays during product recalls.

Tracking food safety is also critical. Food industry-specific enterprise systems can help make a difference in complying with FSMA mandates, including managing a recall or alert.

In addition to integrated financials, supply chain, quality, and other areas, specific features to look for include:

  • Recipe management
  • Traceability Audit Trails
  • Electronic document management
  • Recall management
  • Bill of Materials (BOM) or formulas
