Manufacturing organizations aim for operational excellence, but not all technology solutions can help them achieve this goal. Infor's industry-specific ERP solutions offer purpose-built capabilities that can drive profitable growth for manufacturers.

Achieving organizational goals through Infor’s industry ERP solutions

While there are many benefits of purpose-built manufacturing ERPs, specificity matters. Infor’s industry-specific ERP solutions have been helping manufacturers meet their goals for more than 30 years. Organizations are increasingly moving to the cloud to unlock new capabilities, and Infor’s industry CloudSuites help manufacturers around the world gain the visibility needed to quickly respond to customer, supplier, and regulatory needs—without requiring any complex customizations.

Here are five common manufacturing goals that Infor’s industry ERP solutions can help organizations achieve:

  • Optimize operations 

    Infor's software solutions help manufacturers streamline their operations by providing enhanced visibility and efficiency throughout the entire system. By utilizing real-time analytics, manufacturers can make data-driven decisions that result in increased productivity and profitability.

    With Infor's ERP for manufacturing, businesses can reduce operational complexity by leveraging shop floor automation and optimizing equipment lifecycles via enterprise asset management capabilities. Best practices and industry-specific processes have already been integrated, making it faster and simpler to manage operations. Agile deployment ensures that manufacturers can achieve scalability by adding capabilities and accelerating time to value.

  • Continuous improvement 

    By analyzing exceptions and managing them proactively, Infor's industry ERP solutions foster a culture of continuous improvement. Modern digital innovations around data and analytics—along with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)—enable quick, data-driven decision-making across the manufacturing enterprise.

    For example, manufacturers can more quickly respond and improve operational and productivity KPIs by analyzing order anomalies and forecasts as information comes in. Quick and easy access to data and analytics enables better decision-making across the manufacturing enterprise and aligns KPIs with departmental objectives.

    See how one leading manufacturer uses AI to optimize inventory and stay ahead of shifting customer demand patterns.

  • Customer Satisfaction 

    Customer satisfaction is critical to business success. Providing the necessary level of visibility to quickly respond to customer needs and expectations improves the overall customer satisfaction. With Infor’s flexible, scalable architecture, manufacturers can be more agile and responsive to fast-changing customer expectations, improving overall customer satisfaction.

    See how Martin Guitars, a global guitar manufacturer established in 1833, delivers a smoother customer experience with Infor SyteLine—an end-to-end cloud ERP solution for manufacturers.

  • Compliance

    Meeting industry regulations and compliance mandates can be a challenge for manufacturers. Infor's ERP solution provides a single view of the business that ensures organizations meet industry standards. With Infor solutions, manufacturers can minimize the need for customizations and focus on running their business.

    Additionally, users can minimize risk and ensure business continuity across their operations by relying on standards-based security; disaster recovery and fail-over management; attack prevention; and processes for security advancement.

  • Innovation 

    Innovation is vital to staying ahead of the competition. Infor's adoption of digital innovations in the cloud and their technology ecosystem helps manufacturers transform by providing access to leading-edge capabilities.

    Users can utilize a global cloud infrastructure that supports AI, ML, robotic process automation (RPA), workflows, contextual BI, Internet of Things (IoT), and more. Manufacturers can leverage these latest technologies to grow their business and differentiate themselves.
