Enterprise Information Alphabet Soup Explained
December 13, 2011
Recently, we found an interesting article from Reto Hug entitled “Manufacturing Productivity and MRP/ERP/MIS”…try to say that three times fast! Anyway, in his article in explains what each acronym means and what technology is available to aid manufacturing productivity.
So what does it all mean? Manufacturing resource planning (MRP) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) are defined as:
management information systems (MIS) since they are converting raw data into useful facts such as reports and invoices to optimally run a manufacturing environment.
The article explains that the software for MRP and ERP:
allow for keeping track of inventories in a manufacturing setting as well as purchasing and manufacturing controls and communications with people on the fabrication floor so that things are running smoothly between all departments of a manufacturing company.
Though Hug seems to have some insightful, technical information in his posting, it seems a bit convoluted. Inforbix provides a much more direct solution to the problems brought forth in his article. They provide a simplified approach to product data access versus the traditional product data management. No more acronyms on top of acronyms, just the revolutionary Inforbix process of find, re-use and share data. It is just that easy
