Upcoming Events

One of the toughest parts of total enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation in manufacturing is, perhaps, the efficient collection, storing, and analysis of data.

 

Whether information comes from the shop floor in terms of employee time, work in progress or materials inventory, or from departments such as master

scheduling or shipping, the wide variety of operational areas in a plant calls for the centralization of information.

 

Such a notion is at the very heart of Lean Manufacturing, and it is one that is important in contemporary “pull production” manufacturing operations. 

 

Of course, the centralization of data collection for use in

manufacturing software means there must be centralized data collection points useable throughout a plant. For more information visit
