Benefits of Off the Shelf Enterprise Resource Planning Systems Revealed by Microsoft Dynamics Provider To-Increase
Oversight and insight into global operations reduce project complexity, help boost margins.
New York, NY, January 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for discrete manufacturers, reveals how even the most complex global manufacturing processes can be simplified with off the shelf Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the new blog post, How Off The Shelf ERP Keeps Your IEM (Industrial Equipment Manufacturing) Budget On The Shelf.
ERP systems are commonly trusted by senior level manufacturers to provide oversight into global operations and supply chains, and in so doing, reduce project complexity. As part of a recent survey by the Economic Intelligence Institute, the same manufacturing oversight that ERP systems help provide was cited as a key factor for building within budget and increasing razor-thin profit margins.
"On the surface, providing oversight may not sound complex," writes Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase. "Heavy complexity does come into play, however, when we take into account global operations, thousands of vendors and stakeholders, and how the slightest delay anywhere in the supply chain that can ripple into a dangerous shrink in margin."
The same complexity inherent in global manufacturing operations is what makes an off-the-shelf ERP system seem like a counter-intuitive solution. A company like Cunha's To-Increase, however, works so extensively with global manufacturers that it is able to offer ERP solutions that require very little customization. These off the shelf ERP solutions are vertically oriented, and built from the ground-up to support the end-to-end processes that allow manufacturers to more effectively manage complexity and control budget.
"It’s important to note that I am not promoting software as a savior," concludes Cunha. "But what software can offer is a new level of efficiency and a much better chance of achieving higher margins – whether your operations stretch across the street or across the globe."
