According to a study by Konradin Verlag, about 40% of electronics companies use in-house developments, because not many ERP systems manage the balancing act between Project management and subsequent series production. The electronics industry has to contend with constant innovations and short product lifespans like no other. It is reliant on the time from current product development to completion and marketing being as short as possible.
The merchandise management of the electronics industry
In addition, companies in the electronics industry are struggling with further difficulties: their merchandise management. On the one hand, they must have sufficient stock to guarantee their constant ability to deliver. On the other hand, they must not Stocks which could suddenly become worthless in the event of a technological leap. Added to this are the sometimes very long delivery times for product material from distant parts of the world.
The manufacturing of the electronics companies
An ERP in the electronics industry is therefore expected to have a precise mapping of series production as well as a flexible production plan. Material flows must always be traceable.
Since the path from product development to production is so short, project management must be as integrated as possible in order to keep track of the urgent process. Proof of preference should be automated by the ERP as far as possible. Another important point is the mapping of precious metal surcharges. A good ERP system for the electronics industry automatically updates the stock in the articles. The RoHS certificate (restriction on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) is also integrated into such an ERP system.
