Let us see how a ERP can help us optimize the
Supply Chain -

• Inventory management- ERP helps in controlling
  and managing inventory. It helps in monitoring
  supplies and gauge demand. This avoids the huge
  losses and over purchased and unused items. It
  helps to get the information about the market
  demand, specific product availability data and
  supply information.
• Proper communication- Supply Chain ERP helps in
  inter department communication, reduces
  communication errors by implementing a
  centralized database. Auto generated reports are
  there so that it can be viewed by people with
  access rights. Communication transparency can be
  ensured and it reduces confusion and delays.
• Production improvement- ERP system makes the
  visibility to the production process. It creates
  the Bill of Material (BOM) for each item. When
  the production process starts it provides the
  availability of resources like machine and labour
  in real time. Shipping documents are recorded by
  the ERP system for an error free shipment.

• Shipment- ERP system creates the invoice when the
  item has been shipped. It tracks all the levels
  of delivery and makes sure it delivers to the
  customer without any difficulty faced. It also
  ensures the packaging quality and material used.
  It provides the ease to maintain the data of the
  item purchased and delivered to the customer.
• Performance of Staff- Supply chain ERP maintains
  all the data of employees and their jobs,
  progress and performance. It can analyse and
  generate reports of the suppliers to provide
  their details like how many times have they
  supplied on time or achieved their targets etc.
