If you’re trying to determine whether it’s the right time to replace your old SCM or manufacturing software system, ask yourself the following questions:

· Is my current system scaling well as my organization grows?

· Does my system support a complex outsourcing strategy?

· How quickly and accurately can I forecast demand, using my current system?

· Am I getting real-time alerts?

· How quickly can I obtain the mission-critical data that I need to run my organization effectively?

Asking yourself these five questions should help illuminate any weaknesses in your existing system and help you decide whether it’s time to upgrade.
