Can you
anticipate bottlenecks far enough in advance to do something
about them?
Process manufacturing
includes the requirements for such industries as food,
beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical.
Process manufacturers
must manage multiple, complex variables such as supply,
basic market demand and production scheduling in order to
produce and deliver quality products to consumers. Process
manufacturers must be concerned with shelf-life issues and
how to optimise raw materials and production schedules to
ensure the effective production of goods.
Microsoft Dynamics™ AX for
process manufacturing speaks to the needs of the food,
beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries with a
unique approach to managing costs. Complete integration with
specialised industry features sets Microsoft Dynamics™ AX apart
from the traditional approaches to manufacturing management.
