Manufacturing
From Shop Floor to Top Floor
We connect manufacturing operations, demand planning, production scheduling, supply chain, and financials, into a unified platform that gives you real-time visibility and control across your entire operation.
Manufacturers operate in a world of tight margins, complex supply chains, and increasing demand for customization and speed. Exafort's manufacturing practice combines deep ERP expertise with shop floor domain knowledge to build solutions that optimize everything from demand forecasting to production scheduling to landed cost calculation, all on a single cloud platform.
Key Challenges We Solve
- Disconnected shop floor and financial systems
- Complex BOM management and engineering change orders
- Supply chain visibility across global suppliers
- Demand forecasting accuracy and inventory optimization
- Landed cost calculation for imported materials
What We Bring to Manufacturing
Production Planning & Scheduling
MRP/MPS configurations, work order management, and capacity planning that balance demand signals with shop floor reality.
Supply Chain Management
End-to-end supply chain visibility with vendor scorecards, lead time tracking, and automated purchase planning.
BOM & Engineering Change
Multi-level BOM management, revision control, and engineering change order workflows with cost impact analysis.
Quality Management
Incoming inspection, in-process quality checks, and non-conformance tracking integrated with production workflows.
Shop Floor Analytics
Real-time Tableau dashboards for OEE, yield rates, scrap analysis, and production KPIs by line, shift, and product.
Landed Cost & Costing
Actual, standard, and average costing methods with landed cost allocation for imported materials across duties, freight, and fees.

How We Deliver for Manufacturing
Map
Process & Value Stream Analysis
Document current manufacturing processes, identify waste and bottlenecks, and map value streams for optimization.
Design
Integrated Solution Architecture
Design the target-state connecting demand planning, production, quality, inventory, and financials in a unified data model.
Build
Module-by-Module Deployment
Roll out core financials first, then manufacturing modules (BOM, WO, MRP), followed by advanced planning and analytics.
Refine
Continuous Process Optimization
Post-go-live Kaizen cycles focused on reducing cycle times, improving yield, and increasing automation rates.
Industry Best Practices We Follow
Single Version of Truth
Eliminate the spreadsheet layer between your shop floor and executive suite, connect production data directly to financial reporting.
Demand-Driven MRP
Move beyond traditional MRP to demand-driven planning that responds to actual consumption signals rather than unreliable forecasts.
Total Cost of Ownership
Go beyond purchase price, implement landed cost, total cost of quality, and carrying cost models to make better sourcing decisions.
Example Engagement in Manufacturing
Discrete Manufacturer ERP Transformation
A discrete manufacturer running legacy MAS 90 with manual production tracking, no MRP, and inventory variance.
Our Solution
Deployed NetSuite Manufacturing with full MRP, WMS, quality module, and Tableau production analytics connected to shop floor data.
