ERP systems in the early nineties came into the marketplace offering new breadth & integration.The systems were intended to control all of the information related to the “enterprise,” including customer, product, process, production, inventory, employee, financial data, and more.Today’s advanced ERP systems continue to incorporate more outwardly facing functionality such as supply chain management, customer relationship management and supplier relationship management systems. In addition, software vendors are working hard to appeal to small to mid-sized manufacturing companies. They are also adding value in the areas of PLM product data management, quality management, field service modules, and Internet capabilities.
Now a day anybody can call their system offering enterprise resource planning, advanced planning and scheduling, or supply chain management, but the system itself must contain all the necessary elements to fully support a fast and more competitive supply chain in your specific environment or it just isn’t worth the investment.
