Best Discrete Manufacturing ERP Software
Manufacturing industry is a very large segment of business and they follow multiple business and process to suit their business model to delivery. So you need a Best Manufacturing ERP that suits the discrete Manufacturing, its process and provides the necessary controls too.
Discrete Manufacturing focusses on the Individual components manufacturing that follows step by step manufacturing process to convert the same from Raw Materials to finished products by using Bills of Materials. It could be the Finishing operations or Assembly operations to combine few subassembly to manufacture a Main Components / Finished Goods.
Worldwide, majority of manufacturing sector is of discrete manufacturers type. They follow 100% discrete manufacturing processes and don’t mix it with Process manufacturing process. In case they need any Process manufacturing capability, they start a separate company and become a Process Manufacturers.
What is Discrete Manufacturing?
Few examples to understand more on the Discrete Manufacturing Products are
- Injection Molding.
- Small and large Machines and its assemblies
- Project based items, its assembly and onsite installation.
- Electronics Parts manufactures and its assembly.
- Automobile Components
- Tractors and farm equipment parts and Assembly
- OEM Components like TV, Washing Machines, Fridges etc.
- Forging, Extrusion etc.
To make a Finished goods it requires multiple Subassemblies or same part that transforms from Raw materials to Finished goods based on the business needs and process. One of the major things that happens, when a company decides to produce a specific set of items is, it changes its production layouts, workshops, Structure of departments and how they co-ordinate each others etc.
Every decision and the work is more towards increasing productivity, efficiency and improvement in cycle time from Order to Delivery.
