When manufacturers are looking to add, upgrade or replace Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, they know they'll have to go through a period of research, evaluation and prioritization.
ERP selection is not just about wants and want-nots from the various people in an organization. It is about getting what you need for now and the future. It should be a long-lasting purchase that provides you with the feeling of a partnership.
When evaluating Manufacturing ERP solutions ask yourself the following questions:
1. Does your company currently use bills of material?
2. Does your company currently have some kind of manufacturing software in place?
3. Has your company experienced huge growth or significantly altered its lines of business in the last three years?
4. Does your manufacturing software integrate seamlessly with your accounting software?
5. Is your manufacturing software more than three years old?
6. Is there a satisfactory upgrade available from your current software supplier?
7. Is your accounting software more than three years old?
8. Is your manufacturing software an in-house package invented or developed by your internal programming/IT staff?
