BETTER DECISIONS WITH VISIBILITY AND COLLABORATION

Manufacturers are continually challenged to:

• Bring complex and customized products to market

• Adopt new manufacturing methods and technologies

• Balance supply and increasingly volatile demand

• Manage resources and inventories to control costs

 

Agile manufacturers that can adapt to constantly changing conditions have the competitive advantage. Among the changes currently facing producers are the emergence of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Big Data analytics; the proliferation of mobile devices and new “apps” that put more power into the hands of employees anytime, anywhere; collaboration internally and with the supply chain, ERP in the cloud; and more emphasis of end-to-end supply chain processes and systems, to name a few..

MANAGE COMPLEX PROBLEMS

To thrive and grow, a manufacturer must be responsive to every increasing customer demand for product variety and sophistication. Global consulting firm Accenture confirms that complexity is here to stay in a report* that warns: “Problems can occur, however, when companies lose control of product complexity, which in today’s fast-moving, global, competitive environment has become an all-too-common occurrence.” 

​

For manufacturers, control means having accurate information and making good decisions. Manufacture stock, custom or batch products most likely have a proliferation of similar yet distinct products and need more control of the product lifecycle management.

 

• Handling complexity in the product lifecycle

• Complete and flexible bill of material and routing

• Engineering change control for accurate records

• Product costing provides the financial view

​

 

BALANCE SUPPLY & DEMAND TO CONTROL COSTS

ERP is an information management system with two primary objectives:

• Balance supply and demand by developing and executing operating plans to make and deliver product to meet customer demand

• Reduce cost and waste as much as possible while doing so.

 

The planning function within ERP, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), creates a production and purchasing schedule that minimizes inventory while maximizing availability. As a result, purchase orders and manufacturing orders are planned to be completed and bring in inventory only when needed. MRP relies on good data — BOM, inventory, order status, demand – to do its job effectively. The integrated JAMS for Acumatica solution will help you keep your data accurate and up-to-date.
