Infor LN: the ERP for complex discrete manufacturing
Discover Infor LN, the ERP built for discrete manufacturing
Infor LN is an ERP designed for discrete manufacturing and complex industrial processes: aerospace and defence, automotive, industrial equipment, high tech.
Engineer-to-Order production, Assemble-to-Order, real-time cost tracking, plants spread across several countries: Infor LN handles the configurations that generalist ERPs struggle with. Every department works on the same data, from the shop floor to the finance team.
Infor LN is built around four main functional areas:
Together they cover the entire value chain of a manufacturing company.
1. Manufacturing: every production mode, simple or complex

- Plan shop floors, resources and work orders
