In Manufacturing, manufacturing operations center on sector-specific concepts such as recipe and routing, MRP, production planning. In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual.
Qera ERP's Procurement module is set up around the reality of manufacturing: Manages material needs together with supplier performance and lead time.
- When material requirements aren't calculated at the right time, the production line stalls on material shortages.
- Idle stock drives up storage cost, while shortages put delivery commitments at risk.
- Calculating true product cost together with recipe, operation and scrap items is hard.
