WBSP328: Grow Your Business by Understanding Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's Capabilities, an Objective Panel Discussion
There is a very thin line between mainstream and project-based manufacturing. Is software development manufacturing? How about constructing a house? The manufacturing systems that are designed for mainstream manufacturing, such as make-to-stock, made-to-order, configure-to-order, and engineer-to-order, are very different. While they might claim to do project-based manufacturing, they hardly have a costing wrapper to track different jobs for that project. It's almost like once in a while if the bicycle company needs to also manufacture the bike store, the system should be able to handle it. But that doesn't make this system suitable for companies that are only building bike stores, and maybe once in a while, they might assemble a bicycle to send a gift to their customers. These two are different scenarios and business models. So, where does Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central fit?
In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry experts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to conduct an independent review of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's capabilities. We covered many grounds, including its depth in warehousing and project-centric manufacturing. Finally, we discussed its limitations for other industries such as industrial manufacturing and distribution.
