An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is designed to manage all aspects of a manufacturing business including production; planning; purchasing; manufacturing; sales; distribution; accounting and customer service. By integrating all business processes and data into a unified system, ERPs help manufacturers to streamline production and enhance their overall efficiency.
