Industrial and manufacturing solutions have significantly evolved over the years as computers have become more powerful and manufacturing efficiency has gone from a competitive advantage to table stakes. Manufacturers now use a manufacturing execution system in resource planning and execution (MES), a material resource planning system (MRP) for preparing a batch manufacturing record, and an enterprise resource planning solution (ERP) for tying it all together.

Few areas impact a manufacturer more than efficient production planning, and few tools are better for production planning than an enterprise resource planning solution (ERP). Manufacturers that use an ERP for industrial manufacturing can precisely analyze and juggle the variables that go into efficient production planning, and ERP for industrial product manufacturing is a cornerstone technology for a lean manufacturing methodology.
