Manufacturing Industry
Connect the Shop Floor to the Balance Sheet
Whether you build to order, run continuous process lines, or operate under strict regulatory oversight, CEM gives manufacturers one real-time view of production, inventory, quality, and cost — built on Microsoft Dynamics 365.
BUILT ON DYNAMICS 365 F&O
Configured to your production model — not squeezed into someone else's template
CEM doesn’t sell a one-size-fits-all manufacturing product. We build directly on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, configured around how your plant actually runs — discrete or process, single-site or multi-entity — instead of forcing your workflow into a rigid, pre-packaged ISV add-on.
Native D365 F&O, not a bolt-on
No third-party layer to license, patch, or outgrow — your solution stays inside Microsoft's core platform and roadmap.
Built Around Your Process
Production planning, quality workflows, and costing configured to match your actual production model, not the other way around.
Scales as You Do
Add Business Units, Sites, Entities seamlessly -without changing platforms. The configuration grows with the business.
The Four Pillars of Manufacturing success
Built for the reality of running production, inventory, and finance as one connected operation — not three disconnected systems reconciled at month-end.
Production Visibility, in Real-Time
See work order status, machine utilization, and throughput as it happens — not from a report pulled together after the shift ends.
Inventory & Supply Chain Accuracy
MRP, demand planning, and warehouse management keep material on hand without tying up working capital in excess stock.
Built-In Quality & Compliance
Non-conformance tracking, lot traceability, and audit-ready documentation — critical for regulated production, useful for every plant.
One Number for Cost, Everywhere
Standard costing, variance analysis, and multi-entity consolidation give finance and plant leadership the same numbers, in the same system.

KEY BENEFITS
Production Planning & MRP
Master scheduling and material requirements planning that adjusts automatically as demand and supply shift.
Quality Management
In-process and incoming quality checks, non-conformance workflows, and lot/serial traceability from raw material to shipment.
Mobile Shop Floor Data Capture
Operators log time, output, and scrap directly from the floor; no re-entry, no lag between what happened and what's in the system.
Multi-Site, Multi-Entity Consolidation
Roll up cost, production, and financials across every plant and legal entity in one view.
Warehouse & Inventory Management
Real-time inventory accuracy across multiple sites, with mobile scanning on the warehouse floor.
Copilot-Enabled Reporting
Microsoft Copilot and AI are built directly into D365, giving CEOs real-time visibility into production, costs, risks, and performance to make faster, smarter business decisions.
Deeper expertise where compliance is non-negotiable
Two industries CEM works in demand more than standard manufacturing controls—and get it.
Pharma & Life Sciences
Batch/lot traceability, GMP-aligned quality workflows, and audit-ready documentation for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Aerospace & Defense
Configuration control, contract compliance, and traceability built for aerospace and defense manufacturers.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Discrete manufacturers (assembled, countable units) and process manufacturers (formula- or recipe-based, batch or continuous production) both run on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management, configured for each production model's specific planning, costing, and quality requirements.
Master production scheduling and material requirements planning (MRP) calculate what to produce and when, based on demand, current inventory, and supplier lead times — adjusting automatically as conditions change rather than requiring a manual replan.
Yes. Lot and serial traceability, in-process quality checks, and non-conformance workflows are built into the platform, supporting the documentation requirements of regulated manufacturers and producers.
Production, inventory, and financial data consolidate across every site and legal entity in one system, so plant leadership and corporate finance see the same numbers without a manual roll-up process.
Timelines depend on company size, number of sites, and production complexity. CEM has completed 350+ Dynamics 365 implementations across manufacturing and construction in 19 countries; your specific timeline is scoped during a discovery call.
