Our Process Manufacturing Assessment is an interactive decision-making tool designed specifically for manufacturers who produce goods through:
- Chemical reactions or biological processes
- Mixing, blending, or heating operations
- Batch production rather than discrete assembly
- Highly regulated industries requiring strict compliance
This specialized assessment helps manufacturers determine whether they need dedicated process manufacturing software or can manage with enhanced ERP functionality combined with real-time monitoring platforms like Shoplogix.
Who Should Use the Process Manufacturing Assessment Tool
This tool is designed for:
- Automotive manufacturers dealing with coatings, adhesives, or chemical treatments
- Food & beverage producers managing recipes, batch tracking, and FDA compliance
- Packaging companies producing materials through extrusion or other continuous processes
