ERP for Discrete Manufacturing
A complete eresource Xcel ERP for discrete and assembly-based manufacturing
About the Industry
Discrete manufacturing involves producing distinct items such as machinery, tools, consumer products, engineering components, electronics, and industrial assemblies. Manufacturers work with multi-level BOMs, routings, frequent design revisions, precision machining, assembly lines, vendor quality tracking, and strict delivery timelines.
Managing these operations manually often leads to errors, delays, inconsistent quality, and inaccurate costing. eresource Xcel ERP is designed specifically for discrete manufacturers to streamline engineering, planning, production, quality, inventory, procurement, and finance on a single integrated platform.
The system supports high-mix low-volume production, batch manufacturing, custom orders, and repetitive assembly operations. It provides real-time visibility across shop-floor activities, WIP, material availability, and quality inspections ensuring that every product meets customer specifications.
How Xcel ERP Helps
Discrete manufacturing requires strong control over BOMs, production routing, inventory, and quality. Without a unified system, tracking component usage, managing design revisions, and monitoring operations becomes difficult. eresource Xcel ERP integrates all key processes for accuracy and efficiency.
- Key Advantages:
- Supports multi-level BOMs, routing plans, and engineering changes
- Tracks machining, fabrication, and assembly processes in real time
- Ensures strong QC with inspection logs and digital test reports
- Manages inventory, serial numbers, and stock movement with precision
- Automates procurement, supplier rating, and material requirement planning
- Integrates costing, billing, receivables, and payables seamlessly
With full visibility and automated workflows, eresource Xcel ensures consistent, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing operations.
