Don’t Limit Your Potential with a Light Manufacturing System

 

By Mike Hart

 

Many general accounting systems, including QuickBooks and Peachtree, offer the ability to allocate and deduct a set of kit components or a bill of material.   I refer to this type of software solution as a “light manufacturing” system. 

 

Is a light manufacturing system a good solution for an ultra-small manufacturing company, meaning one with well under 100 employees that only needs 5, 10, or 15 computer users?  Is a QuickBooks or Peachtree type system a good solution for a startup company?
