The Agile Manufacturer - Using ERP software To Become More CompetitiveGlobal competition is making it more difficult for American manufacturing companies to make a profit. Manufacturers need to become more agile to compete globally with economies where the cost of labor is an almost insignificant part of the cost of goods and they have access to the same high tech manufacturing equipment. It is time for forward thinking, competitively focused companies to move to the next generation of IT tools, and strengthen their manufacturing and management information systems. Technology providers need to provide manufacturers with cost effective, highly mobile, highly adaptable, thin-client competitive Plant Management software capabilities. These capabilities will come in the form of Plant Management software which is web-based (or web-native), object-oriented, model-driven, thin-client, configurable and offered as a service (SaaS).
Manufacturing software has come a long way over the past few years. Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation.
