Challenges In Discrete Manufacturing ERP Market

• Complex data integration: Discrete ERP systems are struggling to perfectly connect machines, inherited systems, and business processes—causing gaps between real-time operations and programming control.
   
• Data integrity problems: Low-quality input data (e.g., BOM errors, inventory incompatibilities) damage ERP functionality, leading to incorrect predictions and inefficiencies unless they are approached with robust protocols.
   
• Personalisation vs. Standardisation Tension: Balancing the need for deep customisation to adjust exclusive manufacturing processes with the standard structure of better practice of ERP systems decreases implementation and complicates maintenance.
