Intro

The Landscape of Pre-Packaged Systems

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) are well-established solutions that offer a standardized approach to various business functions. ERP combines data and processes across departments into a single integrated system. MES focuses on production processes and real-time data tracking, while MRP ensures optimal inventory management.

These systems are designed to cater to a wide array of businesses, which means they might not address the unique complexities of individual operations. While they can provide a solid foundation, they often require extensive customization to align with specific workflows, leading to increased costs and implementation timelines.
