Make To Stock & Batch Processing companies are often in the business of rather simple manufacturing with low or very low value adding process. Typically, Make To Stock products are produced against a forecast, and they are expected to be sold ‘off the shelf’, rather than being produced in reaction to a specific order. The Batch Processing solution deals with chemical solutions or other products that use recipes, such as chemicals, resins, paints etc. Production of these materials will often need to be balanced to accommodate batch size restrictions. The main concerns for these types of industries is good planning, tracking of costs and lot batch tracking. Being able to plan effectively and have the right materials available on the shelf at the right time is key; business lost because material was unavailable is often lost forever. Since these sorts of industries have very small margins, tracking and reducing cost is a continuous and important process. Miniscule savings on a single part can translate into very large savings over a large production run.
