The overall impact is that in a competitive market, these organizations are growing by increasing their local and global competitiveness.<\/p>\n<h2>Industry challenges<\/h2>\n<p>For <a href=\"\/industry-specific-software\/manufacturing-software\/metal-fabrication-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fabricated metal<\/a> manufacturers, demand is rarely consistent. Organizations that are building agility into their manufacturing processes are reacting quicker to customer demands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track and measure everything<\/strong> &#8211; With the introduction of updated machinery, real-time Job scheduling, and shop floor data collection systems, automated real-time data collection from machines and operators is now a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers now have the ability to receive real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) and OLEE (Overall Labor Efficiency) information directly from the shop floor, enabling them to make decisions to improve resource utilization, control costs, and identify and address manufacturing rework and waste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Same day response<\/strong> &#8211; With competition increasing by the day, we are seeing manufacturers respond faster to customer quotes, with the \u201cSame-Day\u201d response benchmark moving from 30-45% to 60-75%. The introduction of \u201cMetal Fabrication Specific\u201d estimation tools that are integrated into ERP and Manufacturing Scheduling &amp; Control systems is behind this growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Increased customer communication<\/strong> \u2013 with the growth of supply chain management solutions, the volume and frequency of communication to customers has seen manufacturers open their systems to allow the automated sharing of production scheduling and production progress\/completion information. Organizations are achieving this and more with the introduction of \u00a0next generation <a href=\"\/product\/erp-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ERP solutions<\/a> that enable real-time scheduling and shop floor data collection including machine integration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrated quality control<\/strong> \u2013 we are seeing a growth of connected and automated quality control systems. These are enabling manufacturers to identify and address quality issues quickly, ensuring growing quality and compliance levels are meet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAD Software<\/strong> \u2013 ERP solutions built for metal fabricators can provide the ability to quickly transfer data from a CAD system to production processes including Bill of Materials (BOM), material requirements and shop floor scheduling. ERP solutions that integrate with CAD software are allowing manufacturing Bill of Materials (BOM\u2019s) to be automatically maintained, allowing new and updated items to be rapidly moved into production, ensuring the accurate costings of all resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Production scheduling<\/strong> \u2013 With the introduction of \u00a0next generation ERP solutions that offer integrated Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solutions, organizations now can schedule and manage real-time through the manufacturing cycle. Constraint-based planning solutions that manage material, equipment, tools and resources are becoming the norm. Having the ability to complete \u201cWhat-If\u201d and create a manufacturing \u201cDigital Twin\u201d, is allowing organizations the ability to model different manufacturing scenarios, before making changes to the shop floor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advanced Inventory Management<\/strong> \u2013 Having the \u201cRight\u201d inventory levels has always been a challenge. Organizations introducing \u201cManufacturing Agility\u201d into their organizations are demanding real-time information from customers, suppliers and manufacturers. ERP Solutions that offer Integrated Advanced Inventory and Supply Chain Management and planning tools is the new norm. Interestingly along with Customer Credit Management, we are seeing many of these planning tools introduce AI (Artificial Intelligence). Early indications are that AI is gaining credibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IOT devices<\/strong> \u2013 Incorporating IOT devices to equipment is not new. Sensors are being used to monitor equipment, check quality and record time at every step on a production line. Incorporating and automating the accurate collection of manufacturing data, is allowing metal fabricators to better support methodologies including Six Sigma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Material tracking<\/strong> \u2013 having the ability to track and trace all materials used throughout a manufacturing process is quickly becoming the new norm. Customers are demanding manufacturers have full visibility from the supplier of raw materials, through the manufacturing process and onto the final customer. As such, it is expected that ERP Solutions in metal fabrication will offer this capability.<\/p>\n<h2>Improving agility in metal fabrication<\/h2>\n<p>Technology is a powerful tool for the metal fabrication industry. By investing in automation and advanced and integrated technologies, companies can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and boost productivity. Supporting these initiatives with integrated <a href=\"\/product\/erp-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manufacturing ERP systems<\/a> is enabling them to introduce and grow \u201cManufacturing Agility\u201d. We believe that organizations that invest in integrated ERP Manufacturing solutions that support \u201cManufacturing Agility\u201d, will allow organizations to quickly adapt, grow and thrive in the years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>With the fabricated metal industry receiving government grants and incentives, it now ranks as one of the fastest-changing sectors in the manufacturing marketplace.
