What Are Mixed-mode Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems?
Mixed-mode ERP systems are suitable for manufacturing processes that combine both discrete and process manufacturing environments. This would include products such as sporting apparel, where the materials are the result of process manufacturing, and the garment assembly the result of a discrete process. Mixed-mode ERP applications, like all ERP software, aim at full integration of management, staff, and equipment.
