HOW MODERN ERP SOFTWARE PREPARES MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS FOR QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS

Managing daily operations is not easy, and it is increasingly difficult with federal and industry compliance regulations. In fact, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) estimates that the
manufacturing industry faces nearly 300,000 regulations and restrictions. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of equally disruptive requirements for the wholesale distribution industry.

Quality compliance regulations force manufacturers and distributors to complicate otherwise simple processes to lock down systems, audit processes, document changes, and make significant investments in training and systems to streamline the audit process.

Every business faces general regulations ranging from PCI credit card compliance to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) financial reporting requirements, IFRS/GAAP accounting principles, OSHA safety requirements, and more. These regulations are compounded with federal requirements enforced by government agencies such as the FDA and EPA and industry regulations in every supply chain sector.

This playbook from Acumatica and eWorkplace Apps provides wholesale distributors and manufacturers with an overview of modern ERP features supporting quality and compliance initiatives. In addition, it gives a summary of standard quality requirements across industry segments with a self-assessment, strategies to implement quality systems, and steps to execute on quality software implementations.
