Tariff Uncertainties and Supply Chain Overhaul
Tariff uncertainties have ripple effect throughout sectors driving firms to put the setting up global supply chains among the most strategic things to do. South East Asia is being picked up by the restructuring trend as the destination of choice for most of the firms due to the urgency of the issue at hand.
Cost Sensitivity and ERP Selection
To be precise, the firms intending to deal with unexpected interruptions should act in a very cost-sensitive manner especially in the selection of enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems at the new subsidiaries found in South East Asia. It has become nearly impossible to just add expensive Western ERP solutions easily.
The Search for Cost-Effective, Proven ERP Solutions
Unquestionably, it is not easy to come across a reasonably priced and yet a pre-tested ERP solution. Additionally, the entrenched market brands which are so often available already with catty price tags do not match cost-saving mandates.
Criteria for a ‘Proven’ ERP
A ‘proven’ ERP needs to be that not only for small businesses but also for multi-nationals and public firms; it wouldn’t do without having strong localization in the major Asian manufacturing destinations and showing the same benefits to the business core—like MRP, MES, IQC, and WMS—that Western brands offer.
