Managing Automation - June 2008 - (Page 62) Plexus Title: 10 CRITICAL QUESTIONS TO ASK A MANUFACTURING ERP VENDOR Download: managingautomation.com/plexus11 Summary: A Google search for “manufacturing ERP” returns 2.3 million results, including hundreds of companies offering thousands of solutions in this area. The companies range from global giants offering legacy systems to smaller companies offering only point solutions (and still calling them ERP!) — and there are thousands of consultants and systems integrators with their own opinions and offerings. Given this explosion of solution providers, how can an organization make an intelligent decision on whom to trust with this mission-critical system? How do you sort out the companies with expertise in your area of manufacturing from the companies trying to force-fit their financial applications to your business model? Title: A BALANCED PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL TO PROFITABLE GROWTH Download: managingautomation.com/plexus9 Summary: “What are we going to do now to recover? My head hurts!” Has this ever happened to you or someone you know? Unfortunately, this happens to many manufacturers far too often — especially those who are growing rapidly, retrenching in their legacy market, or experiencing a changing of the guard in their management ranks. Title: ERP TRACEABILITY FUNCTIONS: GOING BEYOND THE HYPE Download: managingautomation.com/plexus10 Summary: Today’s manufacturers are looking for ERP solutions that improve operations, cut costs, and help improve product quality. These enterprises want to move “beyond the hype” and away from the empty promises of many ERP vendors in the marketplace. This paper demonstrates how key capabilities, including the ability to trace the flow of lots and components used in manufacturing operations, are becoming increasingly vital to industries that must comply with strict quality mandates and governmental regulations. ma June 62 2008 http://managingautomation.com/plexus11 http://managingautomation.com/plexus9 http://managingautomation.com/plexus10
