The Agile Manufacturer - Using ERP software To Become More Competitive

Global competition is making it more difficult for American manufacturing companies to make a profit. Manufacturers need to become more agile to compete globally with economies where the cost of labor is an almost insignificant part of the cost of goods and they have access to the same high tech manufacturing equipment. It is time for forward thinking, competitively focused companies to move to the next generation of IT tools, and strengthen their manufacturing and management information systems. Technology providers need to provide manufacturers with cost effective, highly mobile, highly adaptable, thin-client competitive inventory software capabilities. These capabilities will come in the form of inventory software which is web-based (or web-native), object-oriented, model-driven, thin-client, configurable and offered as a service (SaaS).
