Manufacturing operations sink or swim by the integrity of their production scheduling. This is the foundation of customer and partner relationships: making good on promises that goods can and will be delivered at a predetermined time. 

Legacy systems require a great deal of manual input and task completion to ensure that production meets those objectives. This presents room for human error that can be solved through automation. An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system delivers those results. 

"Currently, in a competitive manufacturing environment, companies face a number of challenges such as achieving high efficiency, customer satisfaction, reliable delivery dates, high quality of products or services, and quick response to customer demands," writes C. Carl Pegels in his book, Proven Solutions for Improving Supply Chain Performance. "Recently, to help improve their efficiency, firms have adopted ERP solutions."

ERP has filled a need in the marketplace for a streamlined production scheduling solution. Because your company's reputation and relationships with partners depend on consistency and reliability, old manual systems can't keep up with growing demand. 

For businesses that plan to grow, absorb more business and expand geographically, an ERP system is critical to ensuring that quality isn't lost along the production chain. By reducing the room for error, ERP systems give decision makers a scheduling model they can trust. It also frees up enterprise bandwidth to be used on more important tasks like strategic planning.
