Contract Manufacturing Systems
Contract Manufacturers need an ERP solution that can support their requirements for managing ever changing product requirements from their customers.
The ERP solution needs to integrate product and process design, adhere to documentation and quality standards, and use programme management methodologies such as earned value to capture and control costs accurately. Contract manufacturers need to manage multiple customer requirements simultaneously so robust demand planning and production control is paramount as is the ability to handle different manufacturing processes.
Some contract manufacturing specific ERP requirements include:
- Configuration Management
- Demand Planning & Forecasting
- Engineering & Product Revision Control
- Expiry Date Tracking
- Flexible Manufacturing Process Management
- Lot Control & Serial Number Tracking
- Production Scheduling
- Returns Management
