Separate production tracking layer from full ERP scope

If production orders, BOM, routing, stations, materials and cost tracking are needed, an MRP module may be enough; if the whole factory, finance, capacity and enterprise resource planning must live on one backbone, full ERP should be evaluated.

MRP Module or Full ERP?
1

An MRP module strengthens production tracking connected to sales orders.

2

Full ERP covers broader finance, capacity, purchasing and enterprise resource planning.

3

Delbig MRP adds a production layer to Delbig quote, order, inventory, purchasing and shipment flow.

When is an MRP module enough?

If the company wants to open production orders from sales orders and track BOM, routing, stations, barcode, material requirements and production cost, an MRP module is a practical start.

  • Production should stay connected to Delbig sales and inventory flow.
  • Work-order and station visibility is the main bottleneck.
  • A full ERP project is too heavy in timing and scope.

When is full ERP needed?

If production planning must include broad capacity management, multi-site resource planning, finance consolidation, payroll, budget and enterprise purchasing backbone, full ERP scope may be more appropriate.

  • There is multi-site and multi-layered capacity planning.
  • Finance, accounting and production must merge in one enterprise system.
  • Separate budget and team can be assigned for ERP implementation.
