This whitepaper, written by Pierre Maillet, founder of Cyframe, explores the benefits of using ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems designed specifically for the plastics manufacturing industry. 

While generic ERP systems may seem versatile, they often lack the specialized functionality needed for plastic processors. The paper highlights key differences between generic ERP and plastics-focused ERP systems, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right ERP solution for plastics manufacturing. 

It discusses faster implementation, efficient production module handling, interactive production scheduling, automation of production data acquisition, tracking resin lots, addressing regrind complexities, online costing, managing purchased parts and subcontractors, handling over-under shipments, software customization, and the significance of an ERP provider with expertise in the plastics industry.
