- What is production ERP software?
- Production ERP software is manufacturing management software that automates production planning, work order management, shop floor control (MES), material requirements planning (MRP), and quality management. PMTechERP is India's #1 production ERP, covering complete production lifecycle from demand forecasting to finished goods delivery.
- How does production ERP improve manufacturing efficiency?
- Production ERP efficiency gains: 40% reduction in production planning time (automated MRP), 65% fewer production delays (real-time material shortage alerts), 85%+ OEE (machine monitoring and downtime analysis), 70% reduction in quality rejections (systematic QC), and 30% reduction in WIP inventory (better production scheduling).
- What is MRP in production ERP?
- MRP (Material Requirements Planning) in production ERP: Calculates what materials to produce and procure, in what quantities, and by when — based on sales orders, production plan, BOM (Bill of Materials), and current inventory. PMTechERP MRP runs automatically in minutes across 10,000+ work orders, replacing weeks of manual spreadsheet planning.
- Does production ERP include shop floor control?
- Yes. PMTechERP production ERP includes full MES (Manufacturing Execution System): work order release to shop floor, production reporting at each work centre, barcode-based material consumption recording, downtime capture with reason codes, shift-wise OEE calculation, and real-time work-in-progress (WIP) tracking.
- How does production ERP handle Bill of Materials (BOM)?
- Production ERP BOM management: Multi-level BOM (up to 20 levels), BOM version control, Engineering Change Orders (ECO), alternate materials management, phantom assemblies, co-products and by-products, standard vs actual material comparison, BOM explosion for MRP planning. PMTechERP handles complex automotive and electronic assembly BOMs.
- Can production ERP track production in real-time?
- Yes. PMTechERP production ERP provides real-time tracking: live work order status (planned → in-progress → completed), machine-wise production counts, shift-wise efficiency, material consumption vs planned, labour hours vs standard. Production managers access real-time dashboard from desktop or mobile — always current data.
- What is OEE in production ERP?
- OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) in production ERP = Availability × Performance × Quality. PMTechERP production ERP calculates OEE from machine data (via IoT or manual entry): Availability — actual vs planned machine time, Performance — actual vs standard production rate, Quality — good parts vs total parts. World-class OEE is 85%+.
- Does production ERP support multi-shift manufacturing?
- Yes. PMTechERP production ERP supports unlimited shifts: shift-wise production plan allocation, shift handover reports, shift-wise OEE and efficiency comparison, attendance and labour tracking by shift, and overnight production monitoring. Ideal for Indian factories running 2 or 3 shifts.
- Can production ERP handle both discrete and process manufacturing?
- Yes. PMTechERP production ERP covers both: Discrete manufacturing (work orders, BOMs, routings, job cards) — automotive, electronics, machinery. Process manufacturing (batch formulas/recipes, batch cards, process parameters, yield management) — pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, paint. Hybrid manufacturing also supported.
- How much does production ERP cost in India?
- Production ERP cost India: PMTechERP Starter ₹15,000/month (5 users, core production modules), Professional ₹35,000/month (25 users, full MES + quality), Enterprise ₹75,000/month (unlimited users, IoT integration). All plans include MRP, work orders, shop floor control, and quality management. Fastest production ERP deployment in India — 4 weeks.
