Streamlining operations to enhance profitability

In today’s global market, differentiating your company often means speeding up all your business processes to reduce lead times. Not only is it a way to win new business, but it also often justifies higher prices – and margins – while improving customer satisfaction. In all cases, automating your procurement, manufacturing and customer management processes will help your business gain significant competitive advantages and minimize costs – and risks – associated with high inventory levels. Sage addresses the needs of mid-sized discrete manufacturers across all industries. The key features that drive the success of an ERP implementation in this environment include:

• Supporting a variety of manufacturing modes including make-to-order, configure-to-order, assemble-to-order, make-to-stock and mixed-mode environments.

• All manufacturing, distribution and accounting functions that drive the industrial manufacturing organization, in addition to offering a sophisticated finite capacity planning tool to help optimize scheduling.

• Product configuration capabilities vary finished products according to customer-specific requirements and the kit assembly features bundle finished goods together prior to final delivery to the customer.

• Support for distribution operations, particularly in the areas of warehousing and logistics: WMS and RF
