Manufacturing organizations often operate in conditions that challenge traditional ERP assumptions. This session brings together real manufacturing challenges observed on live shop floors, raising the question every ERP professional faces: Can standard Dynamics 365 Business Central really handle this level of complexity?
The session opens with a Footwear Manufacturing case where one injection molding cycle produces multiple product sizes using common raw material in single input, breaking traditional one item per order logic.
Next, Process Manufacturing scenarios highlight challenges in handling secondary output with commercial value.
In Machine Manufacturing, engineering drawings require the same component to be used multiple times for different purposes, causing misalignment between ERP BOMs and drawings and production execution.
The session also covers Make to Order environments, where delivery commitments are made without visibility into capacity or material constraints, leading to unreliable promises.
Lastly, Electrical & Industrial Automation is explored, where reusable internal kits form the backbone of complex products, creating challenges in consistency, planning, and execution as variants increase.
This session is ideal for Business Central consultants, solution architects, and manufacturing leaders seeking to understand how standard ERP design stands up to real operational complexity—and what must be considered before designing solutions.
