ERP software becomes more popular in the manufacturing industry with each passing year. And the new generation beginning to break into the manufacturing industry, says Phil Lewis of Global Manufacturing, "refuses to settle for unwieldy, confusing applications that only make their jobs harder. Instead they are demanding the same standards they are accustomed to in Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat when they need to check an order status, track their supply chain or establish a BoM."

This has led software companies to create more user-friendly, streamlined interfaces, ones that fit the sensibilities of the millennials that are now beginning to take hold in the manufacturing workforce. Lewis believes that there is a "clear business case" for having programs that mirror the aesthetics of the sleek iPhone and Android apps young people now use.

Lewis goes on to caution people valuing style over substance, emphasizing the utmost importance of balancing form and functionality, something companies like Microsoft tend to do with their manufacturing business software.

As the manufacturing sector gets younger as a whole, the use of ERP becomes more the standard for business management software. This makes it all the more important for companies to implement ERP into their operations to make sure their services remain competitive.
