Four Ways To Unlock Hidden Manufacturing Capacity – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

Many of today’s manufacturers are experiencing growth and increased production. Volume is steadily rising for many, and manufacturers are often dealing with how to meet increasing demand.

With your manufacturing operations already running close to capacity, some of the traditional ways of gaining new capacity are to make large capital investments or to outsource some of the new manufacturing demand. These are challenging tactics, because getting new resources in line will take time, and there’s no guarantee that the numbers will continue to climb.

However, you do have a third option. You can meet increased demand by freeing up needed resources within your current operations. The key is having access to real-time manufacturing information and using it to identify areas of improvement within your existing operations.

Growth Opportunities in Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing – White Paper – Epicor ERP

White Papers , , , , , , , , , , Sean Balogh

As an automotive parts or components manufacturer, you may be both encouraged and challenged by a growing number of trends in the automotive marketplace. From disruptive trends in product developments—such as electric vehicles, advanced assistance and safety capabilities, and driverless vehicles—to trade tariff increases, regulation changes, and higher interest rates, it’s apparent that change is in the air.

Production trends show that the manufacturing of most motor vehicles is on the rise—at least for SUVs, crossovers, pick-up trucks, and commercial trucks. Conversely, production is down for cars and medium-duty trucks. Ford surprised some when it announced scaling back significantly on its car offerings, continuing production on only two car models to focus more attention on its SUVs, crossovers, trucks, and commercial vehicles.

How these trends will shape the future of the automotive industry and the manufacturers that supply them remains to be seen. As an industry insider, you know that multiple factors can add up to affect the automotive industry in complex ways. New trends and the risks, opportunities, and challenges associated with them were examined recently during a presentation hosted by Today’s Motor Vehicles1 and sponsored by Epicor® Software. Read on for an overview of what’s shaping today’s auto vehicle industry.

Improve Scheduling, Production, and Quality With Cloud ERP – White Paper – Epicor ERP

The software as a service (SaaS) model of application delivery, more commonly known as “cloud deployment,” in which software features are accessed through a Web browser, is an excellent way for manufacturing companies to get the benefits of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems without the need to build additional IT infrastructure. ERP functionality delivered “from the cloud” avoids the complexity and costs that often accompany on-premises ERP implementations, and typically provides a much more favorable total cost of ownership (TCO), compared to legacy on-premises deployment. Companies subscribe to the software features that they need and can add new ones as business requirements change, without buying additional servers or storage to support new functionality. The ERP features are the same as for an on-premises ERP system, except that it is hosted and maintained on the cloud provider’s infrastructure.

Epicor Software Corporation is a leading developer of ERP software and systems based in Austin, Texas, with more than 40 years of experience in building ERP systems for thousands of customers around the world. Christine Hansen, a product marketing manager at Epicor with experience in the manufacturing business sector, presents some of the best practices used by discrete manufacturers. She also explains the benefits of the Epicor Cloud ERP solution.
