Procurement for Manufacturing
In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual. Digitize your supply process from start to finish and lower your costs, from purchase requisition to quote and order, and from quality policies to inventory and finance integration.
Manufacturing context
Why Procurement works differently in Manufacturing
In Manufacturing, manufacturing operations center on sector-specific concepts such as recipe and routing, MRP, production planning. In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual.
Qera ERP's Procurement module is set up around how the manufacturing sector works: Manages material needs together with supplier performance and lead time.
- When material requirements aren't calculated at the right time, the production line stalls on material shortages.
- Idle stock drives up storage cost, while shortages put delivery commitments at risk.
- Calculating true product cost together with recipe, operation and scrap items is hard.
