Manufacturing ERP System White Papers:

From Nice-to-Have to Necessity: Why companies are getting serious about social business

White Paper - Social media is a loaded term that means different things to different people. Facebook™ and Twitter™ are what spring to mind for most people, along with images of party photos and 140-character musings. But those vehicles are far from where social media ends. The lines between emerging technologies and ones that have become so firmly entrenched that they are now thought of as “traditional” (like email or even instant messaging) are blurring, expanding, and continually changing.

The Democratization of Data: How information can give power to your people

Businesses have long viewed information as critical to building a competitive advantage. Without full visibility into your business, how can you know with certainty what’s making it succeed or fail?

Detecting and preventing duplicate invoice payments

White Paper - Duplicate invoice payments occur far more frequently than most organizations realize. On average, approximately 0.1% to 0.05% of invoices paid are typically duplicate payments—which for a medium-size organization with annual costs of $100 million over a three year period, could represent a loss of $300,000.

Keeping problems private to reduce risk

White Paper - Few provisions of the Dodd-Frank Financial Regulatory Reform Act of 2010 have received as much attention—and caused as much consternation—as those authorizing monetary rewards for corporate whistleblowing. Under Dodd-Frank, company employees who go directly to the SEC with concerns about fraud or other illegal activities can receive a portion of fines, sanctions, and settlements ultimately recovered—as much as 30% of recoveries over $1 million. The first payment under this program was awarded last year on August 21, 2012 to a whistleblower who received nearly $50,000.

The 5 point plan to ERP selection success

White Paper - Why you need a new system: Figuring out your business drivers

These days, an ERP system is a necessity—not a luxury. You need a system that helps you operate and manage your business. But what else do you need it to do?
Former Gartner analyst Lee Wylie introduced Enterprise Resource Planning to the world in 1990. Over its 21 year history, ERP software has undergone a significant transformation. While the early systems were purchased and used primarily for financial applications, order management, purchasing, and manufacturing, today’s systems are designed for broad use across your company.

ERP Manufacturing Software Brochures: Industry Specific

Infor Discrete Manufacturing Essentials

Whether single plant or multinational enterprise, discrete manufacturing is a balancing act today. The strategic, operational, and financial sides of organizations that make distinct items such as automobiles, appliances, computers, and the like all must support one another as never before-working together to achieve new levels of company valuation, customer satisfaction, growth, innovation, profitability, and reduced costs. Not an easy challenge, especially in the face of pressures like fixed IT budgets, mixed-mode manufacturing environments, and a customer and supplier base that continues to grow more complex and global. Lean manufacturing is critical. So is optimized resource management, now that you're doing more with less. The key is having the right information technology partner to enable your world-class business processes and support your business-specific requirements.

Infor SyteLine ERP Manufacturing

Effective supply chain synchronization is vital to stay competitive and meet customer requirements, but at the end of the day the true measure of success is how well your manufacturing plants perform. Within those four walls, you can't afford anything less than optimum flexibility and agility, with systems that support the smooth flow of information and materials through all your operations. Lean manufacturing is the key to efficiency, supporting mixed modes of production to help you be as responsive to changing customer demand as you need to be. The manufacturing capabilities of Infor SyteLineERP make it possible.

Infor Metal Fabrication Essentials

For companies that manufacture fabricated metal parts for other industrial companies, responsiveness to changing markets must be your most important priority. Profitability depends not only on technical expertise, but also on the efficiency of your manufacturing operations and your flexibility to move where your customers go, even if that means setting up new operations and processes overseas. You must meet the challenges of variable demand cycles and growing competition, as well as new materials, new production methods, and more sophisticated final products. Large inventories of raw materials and semi-finished product, as well as fluctuating raw material costs, intensify the challenges in a lean-driven world. Handling toxic materials and workplace safety issues are growing concerns. The key is an extended, collaborative ERP solution that helps you keep margins low and customer satisfaction high.
