Any action that the customer wouldn’t be willing to pay for is “muda” or waste to the proponents of lean manufacturing, so keeping these actions to a minimum forms the basis of lean. Although initially designed for “just in case” rather than “just in time”, manufacturing management software such as ERP can be an effective way of reducing waste in these seven areas.

The Importance of ERP User Experience

ERP systems can be complicated. Let’s not pretend otherwise. But just as we don’t need to know the inner workings of the internal combustion engine to be capable of driving a car, we also don’t need to know the complexities of SQL or C# coding to use ERP. Although the additional knowledge certainly won't go a miss, what really matters is that it works and that you can use it well!

Is cloud ERP for me?

The quick answer would, unfortunately, be another question: “How big is your business?” One vague question leading to another. Although both are valid questions, they are only the starting point. Manufacturing firms of all sizes are beginning to seek the flexibility of the cloud so, to answer the question fully, more than just the size of your business needs to be taken into consideration

ERP and business processes

Times are tough for UK manufacturers with trends towards robotisation, automation and mass customisation placing increasing pressure on them to up their game.
