An ERP manufacturing system helps connect all aspects of a company for optimal visibility. Manufacturing is separate from operations, sales, and accounting in many companies. With an ERP manufacturing system, companies can integrate the entire manufacturing value chain, including material requirements planning (MRP), master production schedule, manufacturing operations management, engineering change control, and traceability.

Manufacturers seeking productivity gains should invest in an ERP manufacturing system as the cornerstone of their digital transformation initiatives. A recent survey commissioned by SYSPRO and conducted by Frost & Sullivan highlights the need for technology enhancements throughout complex manufacturing processes.

Production scheduling has changed significantly over the years, and companies using an ERP manufacturing system to handle scheduling benefit from the enhanced efficiencies such platforms provide. If you tried to use scheduling systems years ago but found them limiting, newer ones built into modern ERP manufacturing systems will be a pleasant surprise.

Your ERP manufacturing system already contains some form of AI. Certain types of artificial intelligence (AI) have been used for the past several years to augment ERP manufacturing systems, enabling them to process documents and transactions efficiently, and provide predictive analytics.

For some people, the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace immediately brings to mind negative thoughts. They picture a scenario where "the machines have taken over," similar to the plot of the Terminator films. The truth is much more favorable for humans: we are collaborating with AI to perform several jobs, but there is no reason to believe that we must worry about Cyberdyne Systems running everything and humans having to go underground in real life.
