Digital Transformation for Small to Mid-sized Operations
Hello again,
This post is for small and medium-sized manufacturers that are vetting new manufacturing software systems. We hope you find it useful.
A smaller manufacturer may have a smaller team and a leaner budget than larger operations, which is why PBS™ (Passport Business Solutions™) Manufacturing is designed with small to mid-sized companies in mind. PBS Manufacturing provides a flexible, scalable ERP solution that integrates with PBS™ Accounting for a robust yet affordable ERP system.
An effective manufacturing system provides greater visibility to help shops streamline and have materials on hand when they need them. And, it provides immediate reporting for better business intelligence. Digital transformation helps shops work smarter, improve productivity, and can facilitate more throughput with fewer employees.
Improved production processes and increased operational efficiency combined with real-time visibility of your entire operation helps prevent bottlenecks and improves profitability.
Manual Tracking
For manufacturers that may be manually tracking, housing data in various silos – or even storing data in an employee’s head – aggregating key data can drastically improve processes. If you are underwhelmed by your current ERP system or storing data in different sources, implementing effective manufacturing ERP can provide ongoing ROI through improved visibility and productivity.
Our expert consultants can help ensure that PBS is tailored to your unique needs and that you will get a solid ROI on your investment. PBS Manufacturing can help you gain control of your shop floor, improve purchasing, gain visibility over your entire operation, and prepare for growth.
Manufacturing Growth
According to the Reshoring Initiative, the U.S. will have reshored 350,000 jobs by year-end. Companies are reshoring manufacturing operations due to supply chain disruptions, increased shipping costs, as well as the CHIPS and Science Act tax breaks.
This year $3.1 billion in funding (part of the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) has been allocated to manufacture electric vehicle batteries and components in the United States. Many manufacturers are increasingly using robotics, diminishing labor intensive processes and increasing the demand for robotics certified workers.
For operations using robotic automation, executing labor activities manually, or a combination thereof, operational efficiency and visibility are key to improved productivity and profitability.
