Optimizing Manufacturing Processes with Infor WMS

Understanding Manufacturing Industries

Manufacturing industries encompass a wide array of sectors that involve the production of goods using various processes, technologies, and resources. These industries rely on a combination of human labor, automated equipment, chemical processing, and tooling to fabricate, process, and prepare goods for sale. The output of manufacturing industries can range from individual products to bulk quantities that are distributed through B2B or B2C channels.

Types of Manufacturing Industries

Manufacturing industries are diverse and include sectors such as industrial manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, consumer electronics manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, and food and drink manufacturing. Each of these sectors has specific characteristics, challenges, and requirements that drive the need for tailored solutions to optimize operations.

Optimizing Manufacturing Processes with ERP Software

Infor WMS offers specialized ERP software solutions for both discrete and process manufacturing industries. For discrete manufacturing, the focus is on automating production processes, enhancing visibility across the manufacturing pipeline, and improving efficiency in industries like industrial manufacturing, aerospace & defense, automotive, high tech & electronics, and construction & engineering. On the other hand, process manufacturing solutions are designed to handle formula or recipe processing, automate calculations, and integrate product development tools for industries such as chemicals, food & beverage, and more.

Distinguishing Between Process and Discrete Manufacturing

Process manufacturing involves creating products where the ingredients are blended together and cannot be distinguished in the final output. These products are usually sold or distributed in predetermined quantities or volumes. On the contrary, discrete manufacturing produces distinct objects that are sold individually or in specific sets. Both types of manufacturing have unique requirements that demand tailored solutions to address their complexities.

Process and Discrete Manufacturing Industries

Process manufacturing industries encompass batch processing and continuous processing sectors, which deal with predetermined or variable output volumes. Examples of process manufacturing industries include chemical suppliers, food and beverage producers, pharmaceutical companies, and oil and gas refineries. Discrete manufacturing industries consist of sectors like automotive manufacturing, furniture production, electronics, clothing, and machinery manufacturing. Each industry has its own set of challenges and nuances that can be optimized with the right ERP solutions.
