Manufacturing management is one of the major reasons businesses turn to an ERP. Many of those businesses need an ERP that will work with a variety of Manufacturing Execution System that control essentially every aspect of the manufacturing process, whether discrete or batch. There is one significant exception to the level of control that these ERP and MES integrations lack… Quality Control.
In many instances, a Quality Control System is required to ensure that the manufacturing process is up to standards. This is especially important in cases where quality can be a matter of life-or-death such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing. But it also true in cases where a minute flaw during fabrication can trigger catastrophic effects when the produced product is put into use.
