Other services from RGUThe fact that our products focus on thefoundryindustryisnocoincidence.Workingoneveryimplementationwehaveastrongteam of consultants who have their rootsinthefoundryindustry.Thatiswhywearealsoastrongpartneratyoursidewhen itcomes to providing product-independentadvice, for structuring foundry processesor when creating specification cataloguesfor introducingsoftwaresystemsinfound-ries.We know what we, and you, are talkingabout.
What does FRP stand for?FRP is derived from ERP, the well-knownabbreviation forEnterpriseResourcePlan-ning. Instead of looking at the often un-clearlydefined“enterprise”wefocussolelyon foundries, which have significantly dif-ferent processes from those described instandard ERP systems – and that is whywehavecalleditFRP–FoundryResourcePlanning.
