How SYSPRO’s M.O.M Solution Improves Productivity and Efficiency
There is now a way for manufacturers to overcome these hurdles and become more efficient and competitive. SYSPRO’s new MOM solution provides a real-time link between the shop floor, the core ERP system and a business’ management.

How ERP Can Reduce the Waste In Manufacturing
Not all waste is physical and according to lean manufacturing theory, there are seven types of it. 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.
