How to increase production profitability with ERP?
Production units are always faced with problems such as:
The lack of internal integration, inappropriateness, management, inventory and problems in the work flow that have the possibility of becoming big holes are disrupted. Lack of flexibility in operations, lack of specific planning and slow and faulty workflow lead to customer dissatisfaction. Of course, all these issues in turn can cause your business to fail. However, with the right ERP, you will have the ability to manage your resources to plan accurately and greatly reduce the risk of failure.
ERP systems have been receiving a lot of attention from production units since the last few decades. Of course, in the past, ERPs only covered a few specific industries. But now they cover all industries. In fact, today, ERPs cover almost all the processes of manufacturing industries, because large ERP suppliers have entered the market with customized versions of this industry.
Transparency and operational control
The ERP system will bring transparency to managers and easier control in all stages. It will also give users the ability to access the information they need in other parts of the organization in any part of the organization. This allows people to make informed and timely decisions.
Optimum use of resources and reduction of costs
ERP turns the time-consuming and manual processes of the organization into automatic and easy processes. ERPs reduce operating costs by including the right information needed by each person. ERPs will allow you to increase your production to the maximum capacity with its programming capability.
This software also allows you to track your inventory and know its exact amount at any time. Therefore, you will be able to plan carefully. This will greatly help in the storage of the items in the warehouse and will reduce the warehouse costs. Therefore, by using a well-known ERP, managers will have the ability to reduce costs, predict machinery breakdowns, and optimize resources.
Increasing customer satisfaction with timely delivery
Timely delivery of products is considered as one of the key criteria in production. The main reason for customer dissatisfaction is always the lack of timely delivery. Delivery delays are influenced by many factors, which in the absence of ERP will become a problem beyond management’s control. However, with an ERP, manufacturing units will be able to prepare detailed production plans, complete inventory control, and facilitate scheduling. This will coordinate with the production channels which will result in timely delivery.
Of course, it should also be considered that although ERP can cover many problems in production, it is not enough to set it up alone. Business owners and managers should choose providers who have enough experience in their industry and can implement the software customize based on the needs of that organization. It is only in this way that ERP will be able to solve the challenges in your organization and provide you with proper planning.
Companies providing ERP software in Iran and the world:
ERP systems have a special place in the global business market. In our country, these systems have been noticed and every day new organizations join the list of customers of this system.
Among the big companies in the world that provide these systems, we can mention SAP Microsoft, Oracle andFocus Softnet.
Advantages and disadvantages of foreign companies providing ERP software:
Contrary to popular opinion, foreign software has not been very successful in increasing the efficiency of domestic companies. It should be noted that foreign ERP software is based on global standard processes and has experience of successful implementation in various industries on a global scale. In case of proper and principled implementation, they can become the most successful systems in the country.
According to the research conducted by experts, the most important reason for the failure of projects is the lack of awareness of the organizations about the difference between MIS and ERP and their different implementation process.
The most important reason that can be mentioned is the lack of license and lack of proper support for foreign software and the lack of access to these companies to make changes in the software due to international sanctions.
Another important reason for failure is the non-nativeness and incompatibility of foreign ERP software with the business of our country, Iran. This issue has also been resolved in Ilia ERP Corporation by using expertly trained staff and software localization by Ilia’s internal technical and engineering team. This localization process has been successfully carried out in Iran.
