Process Manufacturing Software: A Primer (8 Pages)
by Joseph J. Strub
Mar 20, 2004
Abstract : This article looks at ERP software with a very narrow focus, namely that of process manufacturing. Understanding the differences between process and discrete manufacturing can assist you in emphasizing and concentrating on those functions and features that matter most in the process world. This emphasis may clarify your choice of software or, more importantly, help you avoid being saddled with ill-fitting concepts and procedures. If you are a process manufacturing expert, you may find this article somewhat basic. However, for those of you just getting into a process manufacturing project or those thinking that process and discrete manufacturing, like the poetic line, 'a rose is a rose is a rose,' are the same, read on. For experts, feel free to disagree with my premises as your viewpoint would be of interest.
