Packaging Manufacturing Software for ERP

SYSPRO ERP business software solution for Packaging Manufacturing

Packaging has to be one of the most exciting – and daunting – industries. Consider the increased spotlight on the environmental impact of packaging materials and the negative publicity from media and lobby groups. Add the pressure from a better informed and conscious-driven consumer that has led to a growing demand for packaging that is aesthetically pleasing yet recyclable, while being reusable, compostable, biodegradable and even edible. It soon becomes clear that packaging that fails to meet these ever-more exacting standards will soon no longer have a place on the shelves. However, for packaging companies that can adapt and comply, the sky is the limit.

Whether your company produces recyclable cardboard, plastic roll stock, bags, pouches, shrink wrap, stretch film, boxes, bubble wrap or any other kind of packaging, you need to find ways to boost operational efficiency and quickly respond to evolving customer demands as well as changing regulations and market trends. Packaging companies need flexible management tools like SYSPRO ERP that can address these issues and changes, while still allowing growing businesses to scale.

SYSPRO Bill of Materials (BOM) is designed to ensure your organization has complete control over the product structure. This module ensures that engineering, production, purchasing and order processing are utilizing the same information. BOM is defined by the manufacturing process and includes: work centers, labor, tools, dies, inserts, fixtures, raw materials, packaging, scrap rates, setup times, yields and equipment. The Bill of Materials allows you to facilitate accurate expected costs against which actual production costs can be tracked.

This is achieved through user-defined workflow, steps and processes. It can augment or replace the paper trail that typically accompanies any changes to product design data. The archiving facility enables retrieval and production of prior revisions/releases.
