Understand the importance of efficiency in industrial process management and how an ERP can help this demand.

Having an efficient management of industrial processes has always been essential to succeed in any niche. However, given the changes that the world and consumer behavior have undergone in recent years, this premise has taken on new proportions in the need to offer better quality products at lower costs and faster delivery.

This is an “ideal scenario” for industrial management today, but it is not so simple to put into practice. Assertive planning of resources and production is necessary, including machines, tools, inputs, labor, suppliers, etc.

Without this overview, the company suffers from delays in delivery, increases in production costs, errors in product pricing and reduced profit margins.

However, how does one overcome this challenge? Is it possible to produce more and have lower costs by aligning industrial processes? The answer to that question is yes and you can see the reasons below. Keep reading!

Importance of industrial process management

Regardless of its segment or size, every company has activities that are daily and some which take place periodically. When this workflow is organized, we call these activities processes, and their management is directly related to the need to improve the organization's results.

That's because when we come to understand everything that happens in the production line, it becomes easier to find possible bottlenecks and what actions are needed to improve performance - whether regarding machines, inputs or labor.

Thus, industrial processes become more efficient and, consequently, the company also gains more competitiveness in its market. For this, the adoption of an ERP is a strategic decision to help production managers in this important demand.

How does ERP help in the management of industrial processes?

The acronym ERP stands for “Enterprise Resource Planning”, an integrated management system that facilitates the flow of information from all company processes. With technology it is possible to automate tasks and integrate different sectors of the business, such as operational, administrative and financial.

In other words, ERP helps managers to have a 'macro' view of all processes, contributing to the reduction of errors and increasing the productivity of the entire production line.

• Check out all the advantages of ERP in industrial process management:

  
  
  • Complete and integrated management of processes;
  • Automation of manual tasks and reduction of failures;
  • Reduction of production costs and reduction of waste of inputs;
  • Increased productivity with faster production/delivery;
  • Yield optimization and increased efficiency in the production line;
  • Macro view and better control of supplier information;
  • Ease of generating more assertive reports;
  • Improved visibility of products, sales, orders, prices, etc;
  • Integration of processes and sectors;
  • Increased security and company data protection;

And, of course, one of the most important benefits is that, by understanding and managing industrial processes as fundamental assets for business success, the company is able to provide high quality products and/or services to its customers.
