The Distribution ERP Current-State Checklist

As manufacturing operations change, ERP systems often evolve through configuration tweaks, add-ons, and workarounds. Over time, it can become harder to tell whether the system is still supporting day-to-day operations or is just being managed around. 

This checklist provides a practical way to assess the current state of your manufacturing ERP today. 

What you’ll uncover: 

• Where manual workarounds or spreadsheets are compensating for system gaps 

• Signs that planning, scheduling, or inventory visibility don’t reflect real operating conditions 

• Whether reporting supports timely decisions or arrives after the fact 

• Early indicators that your ERP setup may struggle as volume or complexity increases 

• Areas where reliance on IT or outside support creates friction 

The Manufacturing ERP Current-State Checklist is a quick, diagnostic tool. It’s not a roadmap, a vendor comparison, or a future-state exercise. It’s designed to help you establish a clear baseline.
