Isolated insular solutions operations

Many companies still run isolated insular solutions that are unable to share data with one another. In some cases, this can result in significant delays in material requirements planning and product logistics, which may have considerable effects on companies as this example illustrates. In a medium-size production company the existing ERP system no longer met the requirements due to strong growth and increased production capacities. Production parts were not ordered in time, incorrect orders were placed, and operations faltered. At the same time, no interfaces existed to other software components, qualitative reporting was not possible, connectivity to the production facilities was not optimal, leading to production and delivery interruptions and in turn, to downtimes. This resulted in considerable additional costs and operational delays.

 

Heterogeneous requirements call for holistic solutions
