Process Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Evaluation Center

What Are Process Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems?

Process ERP is suited for organizations manufacturing products that cannot be disassembled into constituent components, such as paints, chemicals, pharmaceutical products, plastics, food and beverages, and so on. Process ERP applications, like all ERP software, aim at full integration of management, staff, and equipment.

Process ERP Business Drivers and Benefits

Process ERP applications provide numerous organization-wide benefits, including

• a central point for purchase order (PO) and sales order (SO) entry
• the ability to track data on process materials in a central location (rather than via disparate systems)
• process automation and efficiency
• reliable compliance with respect to governmental standards for traceability, handling, and tracking of hazardous goods, and for environmental considerations

Process ERP Risks

• You may encounter slower production when dealing with complex ingredients for manufacturing.
• You may experience a loss of ability to track ingredient inventory at a detailed level.
• Health and safety considerations can fall by the wayside if your system is not in compliance with recent standards.
