Manufacturing
Manufacturing ERP & Industry 4.0 Software
Connected manufacturing, inventory, procurement, finance, workforce and business operations in one Enterprise Operating System.
Bring production-related operations together with inventory, purchasing, finance, workforce and other business functions. The manufacturing solution is being built on the existing Enterprise Operating System so that manufacturing data and workflows can connect with the rest of the business.
Manufacturing businesses need coordination between materials, stock, purchasing, production activity, employees, sales and finance. The operating challenge is keeping these activities connected while maintaining visibility of what is happening across the business.
• Raw material and component availability affects production activity.
• Inventory changes continuously through inward, transfers, consumption and finished stock.
• Purchasing needs to respond to material requirements and stock conditions.
• Sales demand needs to connect with operational planning and fulfilment.
• Production activity depends on coordinated people, materials and workflows.
• Management needs a connected view of operational and financial performance.
The manufacturing solution is designed to connect production-related workflows with the business functions that already exist in the Enterprise Operating System.

The solution is designed to connect manufacturing with the material, commercial and administrative processes around production.
Sales and business requirements can provide context for manufacturing and fulfilment activities.
Material and stock requirements can lead into purchasing and supplier workflows.
Purchased materials can flow through receipt and inventory operations.
Production-related activity can be connected with stock and material information.
Sales activity can connect with operational fulfilment and financial records.
Employee and workforce information can support day-to-day manufacturing operations.
Manufacturing does not operate independently from sales, inventory, procurement, finance and people. The Enterprise Operating System provides a connected foundation so these functions can share relevant business context.
The manufacturing capability is being extended toward Industry 4.0 using the existing Enterprise Operating System. The objective is to create stronger digital connectivity between manufacturing activity, enterprise data and operational workflows.
