Cloud-based systems are becoming dominant, removing constraints on data volumes, processing power and of course up-front investment requirements. The cloud also makes it easier to support ERP\/MRP on the myriads of mobile devices that have become even more essential while \u2018working from home\u2019. User interfaces are more graphical, more intuitive, and designed around the limitations of the small screen; personalised dashboards highlight each user\u2019s most important or most used applications and reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voice recognition and natural language processing are being applied, potentially making interrogating the company\u2019s core systems as easy as asking \u2018Alexa\u2019 or \u2018Siri\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this means it is increasingly simple to share, discuss and work on the \u2018single version of truth\u2019 that ERP\/MRP represents: for example, a self-isolating sales rep can share with a Working From Home customer graphic representations of options for scheduling a preferred order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Systems are increasingly customer-centric: flexible packages that meet customers\u2019 real needs, rather than those of a designer\u2019s theoretical corporate model. Another emerging trend is of \u2018two-tier\u2019 ERP\/MRP, whereby a \u2018full fat\u2019 corporate ERP\/MRP system sits over many slimmer, more targeted, mission-specific programmes serving individual operating divisions or functions. That approach could also be extended to smaller companies with large, dominant customers \u2013 for example where the smaller supplier is a buy-out of a larger corporate\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New technologies are greatly extending ERP\/MRP capabilities, vastly increasing the quantity and quality of data available, which thanks to advances in computational power and clever IT science can be processed and worked on in near-real-time \u2013 how different from the recent past when an MRP run was left to process over the weekend. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continuously updates on the location and condition of goods and assets and the operating parameters of machines and processes; comparable feeds from e-commerce platforms similarly update commercial aspects; and all without costly and error-prone manual data entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there is so much more that ERP\/MRP and its allied systems can now do with all this data. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, working with other technologies such as vision systems, open new potential for ERP\/MRP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI and ML are also helping power predictive analytics. IoT sensors monitoring machine performance can predict degradation and forecast failure: through the ERP\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/mrp-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MRP system<\/a>, spares can be pre-ordered and maintenance scheduled, reliably increasing up-time. Predictive analytics also have obvious uses in improving demand forecasting. Here, as in other applications, hard data is increasingly supplemented by what may broadly be termed \u2018business intelligence\u2019, itself generated by the application of AI to anything relevant, from weather forecasts to commodity prices (and, increasingly, social media activity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business Intelligence, of course, extends the range of inputs to ERP\/MRP well beyond manufacturing, or indeed the four walls of the enterprise. The interactions and outputs from ERP\/MRP are similarly extending to cover all resources, internal and external, and physical, financial or informational. It is already commonplace, indeed vital, to use ERP\/MRP to link production to human resources and to customer relations management. Increasingly, the firm\u2019s own ERP\/MRP will be interacting directly, even autonomously, with external systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obvious case is logistics, where the availability of third-party transport, warehousing, casual labour, fulfilment services is as important a factor as the firm\u2019s own internal resources in determining how, for example, to fulfil a seasonal demand peak. But the same can be said of marketing and many other external resources. The ERP\/MRP system becomes not just a user of Business Intelligence, but a source of BI for the wider enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But perhaps the most significant integration is the most obvious \u2013 with finance. Detailed real-time data can now be secured for everything relating to an order, from labour to transport, from material wastage to machine wear and tear: no more \u2018standard\u2019 charges and arbitrary overhead apportionments. Firms can see the profitability of an order, not just the gross margin. Perhaps even more importantly for smaller firms, they can see the impact of alternative production schedules on cash flow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v1\">\n    <div class=\"banner__text\">\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__title\">Your business deserves effective software<\/div>\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__desc\">MRPeasy users report a 54% average improvement in the overall performance of their company and a 42% increase in on-time deliveries.<\/div>\n        <div><a class=\"banner-v1__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/ \" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_white\">Try for free<\/a><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"banner__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/mrpeasy\/assets\/images\/banner.svg\" alt=\"banner\">\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So ERP\/MRP has finally outgrown its roots as a purely manufacturing tool.
