Implementation of the NetSuite ERP system for cost monitoring in prototype production: the case of M.R.M. S.R.L.

The implementation of the NetSuite ERP system in the company M.R.M. S.R.L., specialized in prototyping and production of small volumes for the automotive and aerospace sectors, represents a response to the need to optimize cost management and resource planning. NetSuite, by integrating company data into a single centralized platform, allows you to monitor production activities, overcoming the limits of traditional Excel spreadsheets and allowing more precise and efficient control of processes. The pilot project, focused on the Ferrari F244 Scocca order, demonstrated how NetSuite can significantly improve operational management. Key benefits include continuously updating financial data, automating cost allocation, enabling faster, more informed business decisions. The centralization of information has also facilitated collaboration between departments, reducing errors related to data duplication. With advanced reporting and analytics tools, NetSuite has enhanced M.R.M. S.R.L.'s ability to compare real and estimated costs, improving visibility into operating margins. The positive results of the pilot project highlight the potential of NetSuite as a strategic tool to increase business competitiveness, suggesting an expansion of use to other projects and an expansion of its functionality to further increase efficiency and management control.
