erp

Overview Farwest Steel Corporation wanted to replace a legacy manufacturing and order management system to support steady growth and increase visibility into real-time transactions to improve operational efficiency. The challenge was to standardize on a industry-neutral solution to benefit from other industry best practices. Farwest Steel implemented Oracle Process Manufacturing, Oracle Order Management, and Oracle Financials to streamline order, warehouse, and financial processes and better facilitate the company's custom ready-made or made-to-order parts business as well as provided increased transparency into real-time, granular data such as production activity and inventory quantities.
