Here are 6 ways an ERP system can keep your Manufacturing activities on track:
1) Keeps Costs Down: Automated financial management and alerts can help streaming financial activities while also giving you the ability to store any other important documents such as schedules, shipping information, item lists, rules and regulations, etc.
2) Keeps Waste Down: Monitor inventory stock levels in multiple locations with tracking functionality for individual warehouses. This functionality will help reduce wasteful activities by more efficiently managing inventory through automated data collection and processes.
3) Keeps the Quality: Automatic alerts, automatic corrections for failed inspections, electronic signatures, testing, analysis, and other automations help to ensure quality and safety at every level of the supply chain. Quality and testing of ingredients and finished goods can be easily documented and stored for quick retrieval if/when necessary. Tracking capabilities can help resolve and avoid issues having to do with compliance, food labeling, packaging, etc.
4) Keeps Track: ERP software can be used to track ingredients from the second they came into the warehouse to where they are used, when they are used, what product(s) they go into, and where that final good is sent. Now if there are compliance issues, recalls, or other problems you can very quickly address the situation and be able to effectively respond without losing time, money, or your good name.
5) Keeps it fresh: Track the shelf life of raw ingredients and finished goods. FIFO and FEFO can be managed in the ERP system to make sure you are using the right ingredients in the most effective way to ensure the highest quality and perfect timing. This allows you to meet the sales orders and shelf life demands of customers as well as cut costs associated with wastage of inventory and finished goods.
6) Keeps it legal: Meet requirements, rules, and regulations by ERP in your Manufacturing activities such as Bio-Terrorism Act, HACCP, GFSI, SQF, ISO and other regulatory mandates.
