Manufacturing Ex*****on System and ERP Integration

Why is a Manufacturing Ex*****on System and ERP integration important? An MES or Manufacturing Ex*****on System is an IT solution on the shop-floor level. It is indispensable for the production planning and ex*****on of production processes for many manufacturing companies.

While MES software organizes at the process level, ERP software orchestrates the parent enterprise level. What could be more natural than integrating both to be even slimmer and more efficient?

This article looks at the benefits of MES ERP integration and shows how this integration can succeed.

What To Look For In An ERP System For Manufacturers

Having a solid ERP system for your manufacturing company enables you to optimize all you do today (improving your processes and decision-making), using your data to gain visibility into (and thereby fuel) your entire operations. An ERP system for manufacturing also “future-proofs” your business for tomorrow. From a big picture perspective, ERP for manufacturers connects the various functional departments of your manufacturing company, enabling coordination and data sharing across your business while giving you full visibility into your processes and operations.

For manufacturing companies, ERP systems control all essential business processes and material flows, collect data, and deliver evaluations for strategic decisions—from purchasing, warehousing, and production to marketing and sales, customer support, controlling, and more. With an ERP system, you have visibility and control from the plant to the warehouse, to sales and distribution. You can use this visibility to continually, dynamically optimize your business processes, driving ongoing efficiency in everything you do, every decision you make.

ERP Vendor Blog: Expanding your ERP System's Reach with Portals

When it comes to the timely delivery of customer orders, one frustratingly common issue that businesses run into is a lack of integration between customer-facing properties and internal systems that fulfill the customer order.

For example, if a manufacturer has its whole catalog for sale on a Web store, the customer would place an order through the site, but an employee would have to manually take the data from that order and enter it into the ERP system to start the process of filling the order. That not only wastes valuable time, delaying the ultimate delivery, but also introduces a much higher risk of human error due to the pure monotony of manual operations.

“Spending hours every day manually inputting customer data is my dream job,” said no employee, ever.

The 7 Reasons ERP Projects Fail and How to Avoid the Pitfalls

Most companies know that an ERP project requires a considerable amount of commitment and sometimes overtime work from employees, in addition to maintaining the day-to-day operations. But what about the management team? Leadership that’s disengaged or too busy can kill a project in its tracks. An ERP implementation isn’t about pushing a button and everything happens automatically: it takes time and careful attention to get right.

In order to succeed in the ERP implementation, the project team needs strong (and vocal) support from management. Communicating clearly and frequently with the company about the expectations for the project, helping free up the resources needed, maintaining a positive attitude and energy, showing appreciation, and making themselves available for planning sessions are key ways the management team can help overcome this pitfall.
