Overview
Discrete manufacturing systems are designed to match the lean manufacturing principles of apparel, automotive, electronics, aerospace, medical and other discrete manufacturers. Unlike process manufacturing software, discrete manufacturing applications have more assembly-oriented functionality like a product configurator, real-time shop floor data analysis, serial number production tracking, and engineering change order (ECO) processing. These functions are more suited to the configuration management needs of discrete manufacturers.
Most every system will feature a bill of materials (BOM) module and value flow management tools that will improve both quality and performance. With these tools, discrete manufacturers can manage their purchase requisitions and optimize their production schedules based on time-phased requirements, which will allow them to increase inventory turns and reduce holding costs.
Discrete manufacturers will need to choose between stand-alone MRP systems, inventory management and accounting systems, or an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software suite. In addition to discrete manufacturing software, ERP suites tie in supply chain management, product lifecycle management and customer management. Apparel/textile manufacturers should visit our apparel manufacturing software guide for reviews of systems in their industry.
