ERP software provides visibility into WIP

Previously when it came to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems for manufacturers, sales orders became work orders that were scheduled for production and there was no way to track costs until the entire production was completed. There was little to no visibility into work-in-process (WIP) and outside processor inventory; therefore, tracking a part’s costs associated with both was difficult to manage. Now ERP software provides metal stampers with WIP visibility and accurate cost analysis by item and operation so they know exactly where they stand not only for costs, but also inventory.
