Trailer and transport manufacturers make vehicles and components for many different modes of transportation, including trailers, aircraft, industrial vehicles, and boats. This industry is known for its large scale and complexity, where precision and strict compliance with safety and regulatory standards are critical.
Transportation manufacturers often must deal with long supply chains and diverse customer needs, as well as complicated scheduling, accurate job costing, and maintaining visibility and oversight across all stages of production. The complexity of production processes, from designing to assembling and testing, requires careful planning and coordination, as delays in one area can affect the entire operation.
An ERP system is essential to managing trailer and transport manufacturers’ complex operations. By integrating various functions, such as procurement, production, inventory management, and quality and compliance tracking, an ERP system ensures that every aspect of the manufacturing process is efficient and runs smoothly. With an ERP, transportation manufacturers can optimize their supply chain, improve product quality, and speed up time to market. An ERP system also provides real-time data and analytics, allowing trailer and transport manufacturers to track shop floor progress, make informed decisions and better keep on top of costs.
