What is Custom ERP Software for Manufacturing?

Custom ERP software for manufacturing is an integrated enterprise resource planning solution developed specifically around the operational requirements of a manufacturing organisation. Unlike a standard off-the-shelf ERP, a custom manufacturing ERP system can be configured or developed to match the company's specific production processes, approval workflows, costing methods, planning logic, operational terminology and reporting requirements. A manufacturing ERP can integrate areas such as:

• Customer and sales orders
• Production planning
• Production scheduling
• Material requirements planning
• Bill of Materials (BOM)
• Process routing
• Machine and work-centre planning
• Manpower planning
• Purchase management
• Raw material inventory
• Work-in-progress tracking
• Finished goods inventory
• Quality control
• Rejection and rework management
• Subcontracting and job work
• Dispatch management
• Production costing
• Maintenance
• MIS and management dashboards
• Accounts and financial integration

This creates a connected information environment in which production, materials, inventory, management and other departments can work from a common source of operational data.
