RSM Manufacturing & Distribution Monitor - Spring 2011 Edition uncovered some good news about the sectors, calling the Industrial Machinery and Equipment and Transportation Equipment sectors “thriving and growing.” The Monitor indicated that these sectors have seen growth in sales, both domestically as well as globally, indicating that they plan on increasing their workforce as well as introducing new products over the next twelve months in order to sustain this growth.

With the prospect of entering new markets, adding new employees, and developing new products, how can these companies’ best support these initiatives and continue to run an efficient supply chain? Many have turned to a comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning solution from Microsoft known as Dynamics AX.

Dynamics AX is a full featured ERP solution that can:

• Expand easily across international borders with country and region specific functionality, including capabilities for over 40 languages, multiple currencies, and regulatory compliance with local financial requirements for more than 36 countries/regions
• Shorten product development cycles by integrating product development with manufacturing, finance, purchasing, and suppliers
• Reduce training time and improve employee satisfaction and productivity through the delivery of complex capabilities in easy to use solutions that work like and with other familiar Microsoft desktop tools

The companies indicating that they are thriving and growing has increased from just 9 percent in 2009 to 45 percent in 2011. This is a strong indicator of the economic recovery.
