Leveraging the power of a unique manufacturing system like Epicor Kinetic can change the way you do business as an Aerospace & Defense (A&D) provider. From enhanced daily applications to meeting short- and long-term goals, the competitive advantage of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution is unparalleled when it comes to improving your operations via a comprehensive, efficient system.
Today’s Aerospace & Defense industry demands that leading manufacturers work in fast-paced, mission-critical environments, to deliver for their clients. Epicor ERP solutions are the tools keeping that production moving.
Listed are the reasons why Epicor as a single source for your resource planning is important for enhancing your business practices.
It Saves You Time and Money
There are only a finite amount of resources and their allocations must be precise. Your ERP will have a direct impact on whether or not you can:
- Procure better lead times
- Solidify resource-effective data flow
- Cut down on unnecessary overhead and administrative expenses.
Additionally, it’s important to always remember whether you are cloud-based or not, your ERP should align with organizational objectives, including scalable and sustainable growth.
A Great ERP Improves Your Processes and Practices
Another important goal for almost every A&D provider considering an ERP (or a new ERP) is how it will improve their operations. This starts by removing options that are not configurable out-of-the-box solutions. Your system must be flexible enough to adapt, while addressing the entirety of your current processes. This includes linking projects with supply chain fluctuation or having the ability to align the scope of a project with your workload, cost to complete, and performance expectations.
You Will Remain Compliant
The A&D industry has strict compliance requirements and remaining up to date with these standards is often incentive enough to select a full-service ERP software solution like Epicor Kinetic. Your system should provide automatic updates, as falling out of compliance can be detrimental to progress and your finances.
An ERP, built with compliance capabilities, will support your completion of AS 9100, ISO 9000/01 and DCAA audits. It is also customizable to meet requirements of whichever governmental agency or agencies you work with.
It Securely Stores Your Information
A&D projects deal with sensitive data points, private intelligence, and more. You need your data flow to be unobstructed, while maintaining integrity. With an ERP designed for secure data storage and access, safe practices are possible.
An example: Epicor Kinetic is an innovative ERP solution that follows NIST cybersecurity best practices and meets FIPS standards. It is secure, yet functional in the cloud as a Microsoft Azure application.
