Processors continuously invest in equipment, technology, and resources, with the intention of achieving measurable and sustained improvement. In order to achieve this, processors must only consider solutions with plastics specific core production functionality such as: Flexible, intuitive production planning that is tied to tooling efficiency, that supports multiple recipe based MRP and that enables live machine monitoring functionality that, regardless of machine brand, will make use of real-time PLC driven machine data that will instantly alert you to underperforming equipment. Too many plastics manufacturing business owners and estimators rely on intuition and often utilize a single costing method out of repetition, unaware that there are far more effective, and often simpler ways to account for costs. The sooner you deploy your new system, the more likely you are to achieve your goals, realize the benefits, and begin quickly adding value to your operation. A surefire way for a plastics processor to ensure they are making the right choice: Take a complex custom product and run it through the system workflow to truly understand the effort involved and gauge the overall result. Look for an ERP provider who has successfully implemented solutions in manufacturing environments similar to your own process type and who have readily overcome the same challenges that you’re currently facing. |
