Manufacturing software: compare & choose

What is Manufacturing software?

A manufacturer has to keep many things aligned at once: orders, materials, machines and people. Manufacturing software brings production planning, work orders and stock together, so you keep an overview from quotation to delivery and can act on disruptions in time.

Unlike a generic ERP, manufacturing software works with bills of materials and routings, capacity planning per work centre and shop-floor registration, often linked to MES and quality control.

Key features of manufacturing software

Production planning and capacity per work centre
Work orders and shop-floor registration
Bills of materials and routings
Stock, purchasing and material requirements
Reports on lead time, quality and machine utilisation

On the shop floor, margin is won or lost through planning, waste and downtime. Good software gives real-time insight into output and bottlenecks, so you deliver on time and keep costs under control. When comparing, what matters is the fit with your production type and your integrations.

What to look for when choosing manufacturing software

whether it suits your production type (make-to-order, series or process)
references from comparable manufacturers
integration with ERP, MES and machines
support for quality control and traceability
implementation time, training and vendor support

Switching production software is disruptive to the shop floor. Selecting sharply up front on the fit with your production type, your integrations and usability prevents a costly misstep.
