ERP & Lean
Several companies have implemented LEAN and flow production or are in the process of doing so, but a major part of them have also realized, though, that their ERP-systems do not sufficiently support the LEAN way of thinking.
Often ERP-systems do not have the necessary kanban management, tools for line design, LEAN planning facilities, backflushing options, LEAN accounting concepts and basic data to produce the optimal results of the company's LEAN initiatives. Consequently, the LEAN results will not be as expected and instead of getting more simple daily management often gets more complicated.
