As the plastics manufacturing industry grows, companies need to increase their output. Companies must find ways to manage their workflow more effectively to keep up with this demand. 

One way is by implementing robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software into their daily operations. ERP software enables companies to manage every aspect of their business more effectively, reducing loss and increasing productivity and profits.

ERP software covers every aspect of your business needs, from design and manufacturing to accounting, estimations and customer service management. This level of integration between modules eases the passage from one process to the next.

These are some of the benefits of investing in Acumatica Cloud ERP software for plastics manufacturing:

Reduced design times

Regarding plastics, your business handles various customers with varying needs. The design process can take a lot of work. However, Acumatica Cloud ERP software can help streamline this process by mapping the customer’s needs into your plans and factoring in what is technically possible.

Lowering the margin of error

Mistakes can cost businesses money. Design errors or omissions of vital information about customer requirements can lead to overspends. Acumatica Cloud ERP allows you to track these details better and make accurate calculations that do not impact your profits.

Pricing that is competitive and accurate

Customers want to know the cost of their orders before placing them. The ability to factor in constraints on pricing will help you create accurate quotes, which can then be delivered promptly and accurately. It is better for your business and your customers too.

Reduce lead times

A good workflow will mean that your customers can receive their goods within a shorter time frame. Being able to offer reduced lead times will bring about new customers, as well as repeat orders. Having a quick turnaround frees you up to take on more business too.

Effective scheduling for production management

When a new customer orders a product, you must determine how to produce the design most efficiently. Manufacturing ERP software allows you to schedule tasks and manage resources so that every aspect of the project can be controlled in detail.

Keep track of the number of materials you use.

Improving your production process can be a challenge. One area where businesses can lose money is waste. When the weight of raw material used in the production process differs from the weight of the product produced, ERP can help reconcile this. Using accurate data, you can set specific waste targets to help you keep tighter control of your production costs.

Manage your tooling process carefully.

Acumatica Cloud ERP software is designed to help you manage multiple jobs at any time, and it can also be used to keep track of the lifespan of your tools. It allows you to service or retool them as needed.

Quality control is an essential part of production.

Quality control is a vital part of any manufacturing process. The best systems in place will allow you to confidently offer your services to the customer, knowing that you’ve done all you can to ensure that your product meets their needs. Cloud ERP software can manage the quality control process by storing batch information and quality control certificates digitally; this means that you can quickly locate and resolve any issues with a specific batch.
