Benefits of ERP in Textile Industry

The ERP solutions seeks to integrate the business processes involving eight critical areas in the textile production planning which includes raw
materials finance, payroll, inventory, quality, sales and plant maintenance.
An increasing number of owners of textile units believe that IT is not only essential but even indispensable. Given that more than 85 percent of the industry consists of small units, the rising trend of textile units going in for IT-related infrastructure is a positive sign.
Online quality monitoring helps cut costs significantly. By implementing ERP, it manages to cut costs in processing. Increasingly complex product mixes and longer processing sequences are intensifying the need for IT infrastructure. In composite mills (spinning, weaving, garmenting, retailing),these are
getting inevitable.
ERP helps a business manage key functions such as product planning, parts purchasing, maintaining inventories, interacting with suppliers, providing customer service and tracking orders. Once the plant is equipped with ERP, everything is at your finger tips. With this, the senior management is aware of developments at different units, which helps utilize the resources better. IT helps in minimizing inventories and maximizing output. ERP simply gives straight access to data and the knowhow of various stages the process is in.

However, it is not only ERP , that textile firms are interested in. Internet connectivity is another area that can play a vital role in boosting the sector. At a time when newer plants are coming up in inaccessible areas, online connectivity becomes vital. IT infrastructure in textile firms is at a nascent stage. Though ERP is proving helpful to many units, broadband connectivity is equally in high demand. In its absence, online updating is not an easy job. Manufacturing and processing require IT assistance, and more and more firms are going for it. Information technology can streamline processes by organizing information from manufacturing, sales and finance, enabling data sharing for improved decision making.
