Most ERP systems depend almost solely on manually entered data for their visibility into Operations. This implies there is an inherent delay between the time events happen in production and when they’re visible in the ERP system. Just as significantly, this also means that the accuracy of the information manually entered into the system could be suspect. Errors may occur through personal bias or judgment or through the process of aggregating data from the cell, line, department or plant level to get it into a form that the ERP system requires.

Given the sheer volume of data produced continuously on the plant floor, ERP systems cannot collect all production data. And, manually collecting and entering data are non-value add activities for production operators that take them away from their work and add costs to your operations.

Fortunately, you can optimize your investment in ERP and significantly enhance your enterprise systems with Production Management Software.

By integrating your plant floor and enterprise, you can achieve a clean, bi-directional flow of information between your plant and business systems. You can reduce manual data collection, entry and errors – and improve the responsiveness, timeliness and accuracy of your business systems. Driving these enterprise applications with actual production data off the plant floor improves the value and capabilities of these systems and empowers you to achieve your production, quality and growth goals.
