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
In a Global CEO Survey on manufacturing competitiveness, Deloitte identified “cost, availability of labour, materials, cost competitiveness of materials, and availability of raw materials” as the third most competitive driver for manufacturers. So, it's crucial to understand how much your process manufacturing business is spending each week, month, or quarter.
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 Sage X3 software.

Compliance, lack of oversight and increasingly complex supply chains are some of the challenges faced by manufacturers. Good news With the right ERP software for the manufacturing industry, you can:
Recent legislation in many countries has given government departments increased power to intervene with manufacturers’ operations and easily demand product recalls and withdrawals. Consumers demand much more from manufacturers, ready to react when their expectations are not met. Plus, thanks to communications technology and social media, they are able to raise concerns instantly and publicly.
Knowing and understanding your business can be a challenge even at the most productive times. Manufacturers not having complete, accurate and on-the-spot, up-to-date data, face significant challenges with making timely decisions.
Which product is most profitable? Which supplier has the most delays? How much cash is tied up in inventory excess and how much should you invest in growing your business? Without answers to these questions, many businesses end up making poor strategic decisions, resulting in costly mistakes.
Managing supply chains is a constant challenge for manufacturers. In addition to staying on top of key factors like costs, demand forecasting, production downtime and inventory excess, supply chain partnerships are continually changing.
What happens if your supplier’s shipment is delayed? What if supply costs increase without warning? Without a fast and accurate manufacturing ERP system to track progress or to communicate, you might not be able to avoid production downtime or plan an alternative manufacturing schedule without negatively affecting your business.
