Project-orientated visual enterprise arrives

Deep engineer-to-order SME manufacturers facing too much complexity can now get on the Lilly Software ‘Visual’ ERP applications, following its release of the Visual Project-Based Manufacturing Edition. They can now get software tools geared to helping them deliver on-time and on-budget based on Lilly’s existing scheduling, production and inventory control, e-business, financials and logistics. New tools include work breakdown structure (WBS), project management, earned value reporting and project costing, control, and execution. Lilly says it expects capital equipment manufacturers and the like to benefit by being able to quickly access information throughout their organisations and more easily collaborate with customers and their supply chains. “Lilly Software has worked to create an end-to-end product suite that addresses a variety of production strategies,” says Scott Rich, vice president marketing at Lilly. “Currently, we are focused on tailoring our solution to meet the needs of vertical industries.
