Elevate Your Wire & Cable Manufacturing

Why Wire & Cable Manufacturers Need an Industry-Specific ERP

In the wire and cable manufacturing industry, there are certain special challenges and the industry is different from other areas, so there are different and special demands on an ERP. Manufacturers require a specific solution, from raw materials’ management to product specifications, to accomplish tasks. That’s where a Wire and Cable ERP comes in  a system designed to make you more efficient, reduce waste, and increase profit.

Wire & Cable Manufacturing Challenges

Wire and cable manufacturing is complex and highly quality-controlled. Some of the biggest challenges are:

1. Inventory Complexity- Dealing with copper, aluminum, and other insulating materials is not easy. High inventory means high carrying costs, and a lack of inventory means production delays. An ERP will help you maintain the right balance.
2. Production Scheduling and Planning- Wire and cable fabrication entails dynamic scheduling of various product specifications. Existing scheduling techniques are ineffective; a sophisticated ERP will maximize the use of machines and minimize breakdowns.
3. Quality Control and Compliance- Industry regulations call for strict adherence to product specification. An ERP system helps to automatically control the product specification through quality control processes while ensuring that every item is traceable to its root cause; this allows producers the ability to the requirements that exist in the industry while also minimizing the occurrence of defects.
4. Order Customization and Tracking- However, there are customers who need cables with different lengths, thicknesses, and insulation types, etc. However, given the lack of an ERP, keeping track of these customizations and meeting deadlines is difficult.
5. Cost & Waste Management- Raw material costs fluctuate constantly, affecting your profit. An ERP will provide you with real-time cost information and methods for waste minimization to drive your profits.

How an Industry-Specific ERP Solves These Problems

A Wire and Cable ERP is built for manufacturers. 

Here’s how: Certainly, here is how:

Real time inventory management – Real-time inventory management is the most investigated topic in the last five years, and the primary objective for this technique is to ensure the minimum quantity of unused raw material that can be stored in inventory, no occurrence of stockouts, and no wastage of raw materials.
