MANUFACTURING
Manufacturers are heavily reliant on an effective workflow process to meet the requirements of their
clientele, sustain productivity levels, and expand their business. Organizations with manufacturing
operations are incessantly looking for various ways to enhance efficiency and streamline their
operations.
What is Application Development and Maintenance?
These ways generally include making efforts to improve lead times and quality, boosting productivity,
bettering inventory management, and so forth. However, these tasks require effective communication and
coordination across all levels and departments of the organization.
Manufacturing firms struggle to effectively manage growing competition, sudden fluctuations in demand,
and supply chain related issues if their operations are not synchronized across the board. Several
manufacturing organizations have numerous software applications installed in their system for operations
management. However, they have to depend on various vendors for different processes in their
manufacturing cycle. This is not a financially viable option.

Discrete Manufacturing
Increasing customer expectations and the impact of advanced digital technologies are fuelling
transformation across all industries especially in the manufacturing sector. The increasing
accessibility of digital tools, such as cloud storage, software applications, and IoT sensors, is making
it easier to create “smart factories” where devices, assets, and resources from all locations can
synchronize together to make the industry more productive and real-time. Transforming operations and
improving efficiency is a prime most priority for most manufacturing businesses, especially discrete
manufacturers. To build an organization which can truly face an industrial overhaul, the need is to have
a robust business management solution like Microsoft Dynamics 365. Dynamics 365 Application which seeks
to break down the silos between front- and back-end processes to help manufacturers unify their
operations, gain better visibility of their processes, and engage with their customers more efficiently.
Process Manufacturing
Process manufacturing is associated with formulas and manufacturing recipes, in contrast with discrete
which uses discrete units, and bills of materials. Process manufacturing is used in manufacturing
environments production is completed in batch or semi-continuous processes.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 comes with an industry specific features for process manufacturers which
comprises of manufacturing, stock, formula management and routing functions.
