Agile ERP for Mixed Mode Manufacturers
Manufacturers can leverage Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modules such as flow and discrete manufacturing to address the complexities of diverse production environments. In a two-part series published in the Manufacturing Business Technology e-newsletter, Infosys’ experts discuss how manufacturing operations can be modeled to minimize the cost of ERP implementation and maintenance.
A single ERP system can deliver a competitive advantage with mixed mode manufacturing capabilities when:
- Units flow in single pieces and all operations of a piece are considered as an entity
- Lead time and resources for item-based and lot-based outside processing operations are segregated
- Flow and network routing are avoided during setup
