Has your manufacturing business outgrown the confines of your current manufacturing or accounting processes? Are you relying on outdated legacy software or basic programs like QuickBooks? Are your employees isolated in their own departments, resorting to spreadsheets for communication? If you answered affirmatively to any of the aforementioned questions, then delve further into this article. Entry-level software simply cannot accommodate business growth.
As engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing businesses continue to flourish, they heavily rely on advanced manufacturing engineering applications such as computer-aided drafting (CAD) and design or product lifecycle management (PLM) software to craft their exceptional products. However, as these businesses surpass the limitations of their current internal systems or entry-level accounting software, they are faced with the daunting challenge of effectively managing their workload. In such a predicament, they must explore innovative approaches to handle their operations and ensure sustained prosperity.
Discover the art of streamlining your engineering-to-manufacturing transition with a cutting-edge engineer-to-order system. Whether you construct bespoke products based on customer specifications or utilize a supplied CAD design, or even design stock products using project accounting to meticulously track engineering activities for research and development, ETO manufacturers who rely on entry-level accounting systems or limited legacy ERP systems struggle to efficiently manage complex bills of materials. Their struggles are further compounded by disjointed engineering change processes that fail to synchronize data with CAD or PLM design applications.
In today's competitive market, it is crucial for engineer-to-order manufacturers to have a streamlined and efficient process from engineering to manufacturing. By implementing a cutting-edge engineer-to-order system, manufacturers can revolutionize their operations and overcome the challenges they face. With this advanced software, businesses can effectively manage complex bills of materials, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in their production processes.
One of the main struggles for ETO manufacturers using entry-level accounting systems or limited legacy ERP systems is the difficulty in managing complex bills of materials. These systems often lack the necessary features to handle the intricate requirements of engineer-to-order manufacturing. With a modern engineer-to-order system, manufacturers can easily manage and track their bills of materials, ensuring that all components and materials are accounted for and readily available when needed.
Another challenge faced by ETO manufacturers is the disjointed engineering change processes that fail to synchronize data with CAD or PLM design applications. This can lead to miscommunication and errors in the manufacturing process, resulting in delays and increased costs. By implementing a cutting-edge engineer-to-order system, manufacturers can seamlessly integrate their engineering change processes with CAD and PLM design applications, ensuring that all data is synchronized and up to date. This not only streamlines the manufacturing process but also reduces the risk of errors and ensures that products are manufactured according to the latest design specifications.
Outdated entry-level, legacy and older applications offer only limited features to automate the engineering process. Fortunately, modern ERP platforms like Acumatica offer seamless connectivity to CAD and PLM, boasting embedded engineering change control, flexible approval workflows, and role-based insights that effortlessly streamline processes.
