Master Data Management for Manufacturing
Do your customers know more about what you sold them than you do?
In manufacturing, your customers may take many forms: distribution centers, drop-ship locations, legal parent companies or branch locations. Often, these records live in several different systems, resulting in discrepancies from system to system, poor data quality and inaccurate business intelligence. This problem can also be the result of corporate mergers and acquisitions. Manufacturing companies often meet this challenge with large costly projects that consolidate information into existing process-oriented repositories — ERP systems.
But there is another answer: Master Data Management. Master Data Management is the proactive management of common information assets, such as customers, products, GL accounts, sales reps, assets, employees and more. With MDM, key employees evolve into data stewards, responsible for ensuring the quality of the master data. A master data management system can provide a business solution for:
- Harmonizing operational systems
- Integrating analytical systems
- Supporting compliance (i.e., Sarbanes-Oxley)
- Enabling an auditable, repeatable business process
- Capturing and protecting hierarchical structures
