Useful Manufacturing ERP Modules Your ERP Software Must Have

 Are you looking for ways to improve your manufacturing efficiency? The following are a few helpful Manufacturing ERP Modules (EAM) that can help. Be sure to provide resources and links on where to find these modules and their costs.

- Advanced Planning: Provides the capability of doing more detailed long-range planning and scheduling by taking into consideration factors like complex constraints, resources, material needs, etc.  

-ERP Manufacturing Labor Management: Allows the planning and allocation of labor hours throughout a project in order to meet production compliance standards and reduce overtime expenses by creating schedules for employees with an accurate number of work hours needed.

-ERP Maintenance Management: Provides the ability to manage maintenance work orders by integrating data from various functional areas and systems of the organization such as manufacturing, project, IT applications, etc. 

- Quality Management: Addresses quality and other related aspects in real time on a company-wide basis with the help of this ERP Management Software.

-Process Scheduling: Allows more complex scheduling of production operations, including the planning of batch size, setup times, and machine loading, which then allows functions to be better planned based on these factors. 

-Advanced Capacity Planning: Helps in the development of more strategically sound plans through simulation modeling to determine what operations need to be done first based on capacity availability requirements across multiple facilities while shortening lead times.

-Prioritizing Resources: Identifies improvement needs and critical focus areas, figures out which processes should be worked on first and what resources are available to support these improvements.

– 6 S's (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, Systematize and Sustain): A concept that helps achieve excellence in the workplace by eliminating waste. The 6S's concept recognizes that many manufacturing facilities are full of garbage and inefficiencies both physically and procedurally. By identifying these "6S" wastes in the facility and implementing a program to continually remove them, the organization can create more space for inventory storage as well as more efficient processes for improving product quality and production speed.
