Achieve 75% faster process cycle time and 57% faster inventory turns in your process manufacturing business.
It’s impossible to streamline your operations when your ERP, CRM, and supply chain processes are siloed.
Ageing infrastructure, high costs, reduced lead times and a need for improved visibility continue to make the environment a tricky one for process manufacturers. In recent years, the industry has also been affected by the introduction of environmental and safety standards that require additional management and controls, not to mention the pressure to improve customer satisfaction.
A major concern for many manufacturers. If you want to stay ahead of the competition, you need manufacturing software that can help you raise the productivity bar, break new ground, and ensure compliance.
In recent years, it’s become normal for large sections of the food and beverage industry to launch new products every year, while pharmaceutical companies are pushed to accelerate the development of new antibiotics as outbreaks of drug-resistant superbugs continue to rise.
This means that manufacturers need to be lean and highly flexible in order to keep pace - those restrained by rigid processes and inefficient systems could be left behind.
A key requirement for all process manufacturers is the ability to keep up with new environmental and safety standards, and successfully achieve compliance with new regulations, such as the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
Navigating this maze of global laws and restrictions can be a huge challenge, and failure to comply can be extremely costly in financial and reputational terms. The good news is that process manufacturing businesses can overcome these challenges with the right enterprise management software.
