Process manufacturers face the challenges of complex supply chains and traceability requirements, which are key to quality assurance and brand protection – two essential ingredients for success in the industry. For more than 20 years, IFS has provided process industries with agile ERP software that meets – and even anticipates – these challenges to provide the competitive edge that assures continued success.
INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE FOR PROCESS MANUFACTURERS
IFS Applications gives you the agility to strike the balance between the efficiency of make-to-stock and the responsiveness required by seasonality, campaigns and other fluctuating customer demands.
A SINGLE, INTEGRATED SOLUTION FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS
ERP software from IFS covers all process manufacturing needs regardless of production mode. Functionality for formulation and recipe management, batch balancing, multiple units of measure (MUoM) and catch weight is native to IFS Applications. As are full traceability and genealogy capabilities. IFS Applications is a single integrated ERP solution for process manufacturing whether your concern is ingredients or parts, formulas or BoMs, bulk or units.
BALANCING SUPPLY AND DEMAND
IFS Applications enables you to plan production to meet the variations in demand that result from seasonality, campaigns and various types of partnerships. Integrated demand planning functionality interacts with the master schedule to ensure that goods are available as advertised or expected. IFS Applications enables you to combine high-volume manufacturing with small-scale production as required.
RETAINING BRAND VALUE
IFS Applications includes failures modes and effects analyses (FMEA), control plans, statistical process control (SPC) and capability studies that support your entire production process, letting you control parts and materials in manufacturing, distribution and inventory locations. Moreover, integrated document management gives you full control of approval routings and revision handling to make regulatory compliance easier and more accurate. And IFS Eco-footprint Management helps you measure and control your environmental impact.
