Manufacturing Systems and Automation

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) upholds Manufacturing Systems and Automation by smoothly integrating core functionalities. ERP optimizes production processes, inventory management, and supply chain operations. It provides real-time visibility into manufacturing workflows, facilitating informed decision-making. Through automation, ERP streamlines production scheduling, reduces lead times, and enhances resource utilization. With modules dedicated to quality control and compliance, ERP ensures adherence to industry standards. The integration of ERP with Manufacturing Systems enables data-driven insights, supporting predictive maintenance and minimizing downtime. By unifying manufacturing data, ERP fosters collaboration between departments, suppliers, and partners. This synergy helps organizations to achieve operational excellence, improve production efficiency, and respond adeptly to market demands, creating a robust foundation for success in the manufacturing industry.

Beyond the Hype: A Guide to Selecting ERP for Manufacturing
This session will start by exploring what analyst reports can and cannot tell you about ERP selection. It will then explore why a CIO of a global automotive supplier selected QAD despite knowing where it stood in the rankings. This will include how leaders should evaluate ERP solutions factoring in topics like industry expertise, implementation realities, and long-term business impact. The session will also include a moderated discussion that provides a raw, insightful look at how manufacturing leaders navigate ERP decisions based on business realities. Attend the session to: Differentiate between ERP market reports and real-world decision criteria. Identify key factors beyond rankings that impact manufacturing ERP success. Understand why industry-specific expertise matters more than broad evaluations. Apply insights from an experienced ERP leader’s journey to their own selection process.
