Discrete manufacturing is a type of manufacturing that includes assembling components and creating readily identifiable products that can be handled and counted.

The raw materials needed to manufacture these items are the same from one job to the next. Production in this manufacturing method follows a path, like an assembly line, where it creates identical products.

ERP for discrete manufacturing is a template solution from RheinBrücke that is a ready-to-deploy cloud ERP for discrete manufacturing based on Epicor platform.

Process manufacturing blends elements according to predetermined formulae or recipes and involves large quantities of raw materials being refined and processed for distribution. The end-products in process manufacturing are formulation-based, so the components cannot be removed once they are used to generate the final product.

ERP for process manufacturing, a template solution from RheinBrücke is the best ERP for the process manufacturing industry. Its design template addresses the recipe-based production needs of different processes used in standard or mixed-mode manufacturing industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, paints and coatings, etc.

Regardless of size (small, midsize, or large) or type (discrete or process manufacturing) - manufacturing companies face several challenges that vary by industry (for example, the manufacturing processes and requirements of food manufacturing are very different from those of the paint and adhesive industry). These challenges include complying with environmental and regulatory standards, handling inventory, quality, and traceability. Additionally, there is a need to focus on increasing productivity and efficiency.

To effectively cope with these challenges, manufacturing organizations need an industry-specific ERP for manufacturers to assist them in meeting their most specialized and unique demands.
