Leveraging Digital Transformation and ERP for Enhanced Operational Efficiency in Manufacturing Enterprises

Abstract

Purpose: The process of making the most of digital tools in the workplace to support an organization's success is known as "leveraging on technology." By automating manual tasks more quickly, modern ERP systems free up time and funds for other important projects. Data can be aggregated by contemporary ERP systems for simpler management, access, and analysis.   Method: Systems for enterprise resource planning, or ERPs, have become a vital component of contemporary manufacturing processes. These integrated software solutions are essential for improving, streamlining, and controlling many aspects of manufacturing, including financial control, customer service, production and inventory management. Manufacturers can effectively manage vital resources like labor, equipment, and materials with the help of ERP systems. ERP helps eliminate waste, minimize production delays, and maximize resource utilization by offering real-time visibility into resource allocation and availability.   Result and Conclusion: Manufacturing process synchronization and automation are made easier by ERP software. Work orders, production schedules, and quality control can all be managed by it, resulting in seamless and effective manufacturing processes. In manufacturing, keeping the proper amount of inventory on hand is a difficult task. ERP systems give producers insights into demand trends, order lead times, and reorder points, which helps them optimize inventory levels. In addition to lowering carrying costs and preventing stockouts, this minimizes superfluous inventory.   Implication of Research: An organization's operational model is altered by digital transformation. This process involves systems, workflow, processes, and culture. Every level of an organization is impacted by this transition, which unifies data from different departments to collaborate more successfully.   Originality/Value: Enhanced Efficiency: Businesses are able to allocate resources more effectively thanks to automation and streamlined processes, which also lower operational costs and increase productivity.
