IPL Consulting develops and provides solutions for discrete and project production manufacturing based on Infor’s industry-specific ERP solutions and reflect all the needs of enterprise-level and medium-sized businesses.
We provide solutions that help industrial companies transform even the most complex manufacturing processes into a competitive advantage and create the manufacturing system that allows to manufacture products that meet individual customers’ needs with near mass production efficiency.
We help our customers to build a manufacturing system for all discrete manufacturing types ETO, MTO, MTS and repetitive, that ensure agility, flexibility, and integrated product life cycle management.
Usually customer-focused manufacturing companies use several types of production, including MTS. IPL Consulting solutions allow to combine various scenarios of production management/ planning and customize the system to the specific enterprise needs.
