Wayne, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/20/2006 --Host Ken Rayment of Better Process Podcast, a process manufacturing news show that reports on topics ranging from United States manufacturing to manufacturing technology, recently interviewed Jay Deakins, President, and Susan Shaw, Marketing Coordinator, of ERP-producer Deacom, Inc. to discuss the major challenges facing small and mid-size process manufacturers.

According to Deakins, today's top manufacturing issues include the efficient coordination of activities, such as pricing changes, and the growing need for process manufacturers to provide exceptional customer value. He explains that manufacturers can control these challenges by streamlining and simplifying their operations through the use of comprehensive tools and procedures.

Completely integrated business software systems, for example, are utilized “so all the information is available in a single spot,” says Deakins. “It really helps them to organize, plan for change, and to be much faster to the market for new products, new technologies, as well as just normal price increases.”
