Manufacturing software systems have evolved in functionality over the years. The early systems were designated MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning)systems. MRP systems had basic functionality for inventory control, bill of material processing and elementary scheduling. As more scheduling functionality was added newer software generations were called MRP II. MRP II systems were eventually replaced with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)systems which added more applications like order processing, project management, maintenance and human resources. Today no manufacturing software vendor would designate their system as anything other than an ERP system.APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) systems added more functionality again. An APS program includes the ability to optimize shop floor and supply chain scheduling. The program determines the best schedule given the multiple constraints of labor, material and equipment. Some ERP products include APS features. There are also separate APS products that integrate with existing ERP solutions. Seradex ERP offers the functionality, technology platform and implementation expertise to help you realize the full benefits of an ERP solution.
