Plastics manufacturing touches a broad range of industries and because of this, it's important to make sure the selected ERP software meets the specific requirements for the industry. For example, manufacturers of food packaging must comply with standards such as FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and HAACP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point). As another example, there may be quality assurance requirements related to products manufactured for cars or medical device equipment such as ISO.

In addition, the ways plastic products are manufactured require an ERP system to accommodate these specific processes. For process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing or mixed-mode manufacturing, Exact ERP offers flexibility and scalability to meet specific business processes and includes Multi-level Bill of Material, Multiple Units of Measure and robust Inventory and Warehouse Management capabilities.
