Benefits of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for manufacturers
With Microsoft Dynamics solutions, your small or medium-sized manufacturing
organization can:
- Integrate communication and collaboration. Synchronize communication
between engineering, manufacturing, and subcontractors. For example, if
engineering makes design changes, operations can know the details immediately.
To ensure the increased agility in engineering is supported by your
subcontractors, your communication solution needs to integrate with your
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Product data management and
integration between computer-aided design (CAD) and Microsoft Dynamics
solutions have helped customers improve product design. Engineers can get an
overview of reported errors in drawings, and manufacturing can confirm the
latest design is being produced. Business portals let you share information
within your systems through the Web to the right people at the right time to
keep your business moving forward and your customers happy.
- Deliver outstanding customer service. Landing a contract or making the
sale isn't enough. You need to provide outstanding after-sales service to
ensure customer loyalty. With Microsoft Dynamics solutions, you can track a
project from design through "as-built" configuration. The bottom line: Your
service personnel will be able to deliver the right parts - a critical first
step towards effective preventive maintenance. Microsoft Dynamics CRM gives
you access to deep customer knowledge based on past experiences, helping you
identify and meet or exceed your service-level agreements (SLAs) and contract
requirements.
- Provide accurate estimating and quoting. You can efficiently align
customer requirements with your capabilities by maintaining a standardized
product line and using your previous experience with a customer to suggest the
most effective equipment. Microsoft Dynamics solutions can help you plan for
standard components, thereby reducing lead time. In many cases the subsequent
discovery of omissions or mistakes poses the biggest challenge; Microsoft CRM
can help you record customer requirements accurately and reuse the information
in future quotes.
- Deliver flexible production planning. Production planners often struggle
with keeping each job separate and visible in order to match specific customer
requirements with resources. When production-runs encounter problems, planning
or engineering needs to change the process. But in many cases, these changes
are lost in aggregate production activities and data. To help you respond
effectively, Microsoft Dynamics solutions support manufacturing modes such as
engineer-to-order, make-to-order, make-to-stock, or mixed/hybrid modes. You
decide and define your best practices and how you want the planning system to
execute. Additionally, wireless technology can help increase the capability
and flexibility of your plant and workers.
- Efficiently manage projects. Good project management accounts for
resources such as materials, capacity, engineers, service personnel, critical
paths, and slack time, helping you deliver on time. It also helps you identify
the completion state of tasks and provides an overview status of the project.
With Microsoft Dynamics solutions, you can set budgets, manage billing, review
current costs, and track activities and resources related to a project at many
levels of detail. You can also leverage knowledge and content from existing or
prior projects to improve your processes and avoid mistakes.
