--- title: Team Acuity Insights Blog | manufacturing description: manufacturing | Get valuable insights and learn more about how to make the most of your ERP with our blog. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, Acuity is a software and process implementation and consulting firm. We believe that technology doesn’t solve problems if it isn’t properly applied to the right issues, and if your staff doesn’t know how to use the technology, it does your company no good. You need to balance technology, consulting, and training against the budget you can afford and the goals you are trying to achieve. Subscribe to our blog for helpful updates. --- Learn more about how to choose the right ERP with our ERP Evaluations Series. [Learn More.](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog) [![logo-top](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hs-fs/hub/420229/file-1511926966.png?width=166&height=89&name=file-1511926966.png "logo-top")](https://www.teamacuity.biz) - [Home](https://www.teamacuity.biz/) - Software - [SAP Business One](https://www.teamacuity.biz/sap-business-one) - [SAP Business One and AWS](https://www.teamacuity.biz/sap-business-one-and-aws) - [Wisys Supply Chain Management](https://www.teamacuity.biz/wisys) - Services - [Success Methodology](https://www.teamacuity.biz/success-methodology) - [Consulting](https://www.teamacuity.biz/consulting) - [On-Going Support](https://www.teamacuity.biz/ongoing-support) - About - [About Acuity](https://www.teamacuity.biz/about-acuity) - [Careers](https://www.teamacuity.biz/careers) - [Resources](https://www.teamacuity.biz/resources-section) - [Resources](https://www.teamacuity.biz/resources-section) - [Blog](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog) - [Contact](https://www.teamacuity.biz/contact-us) [![logo-top](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hs-fs/hub/420229/file-1511926966.png?width=166&height=89&name=file-1511926966.png "logo-top")](https://www.teamacuity.biz) [![logo-top](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hs-fs/hub/420229/file-1511926966.png?width=166&height=89&name=file-1511926966.png "logo-top")](https://www.teamacuity.biz) - [Home](https://www.teamacuity.biz/) - Software - [SAP Business One](https://www.teamacuity.biz/sap-business-one) - [SAP Business One and AWS](https://www.teamacuity.biz/sap-business-one-and-aws) - [Wisys Supply Chain Management](https://www.teamacuity.biz/wisys) - Services - [Success Methodology](https://www.teamacuity.biz/success-methodology) - [Consulting](https://www.teamacuity.biz/consulting) - [On-Going Support](https://www.teamacuity.biz/ongoing-support) - About - [About Acuity](https://www.teamacuity.biz/about-acuity) - [Careers](https://www.teamacuity.biz/careers) - [Resources](https://www.teamacuity.biz/resources-section) - [Resources](https://www.teamacuity.biz/resources-section) - [Blog](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog) - [Contact](https://www.teamacuity.biz/contact-us) [![logo-top](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hs-fs/hub/420229/file-1511926966.png?width=166&height=89&name=file-1511926966.png "logo-top")](https://www.teamacuity.biz) # Team Acuity Insights Blog [ERP](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/erp) [ERP Solutions](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/erp-solutions) [lean manufacturing](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/lean-manufacturing) [lean](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/lean) [ISO](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/iso) [![](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hubfs/Canva%20images/Canva%20Design%20DAFxiCBMFSY.png)](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/humanizing-the-modern-manufacturing-workplace) [manufacturing](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/manufacturing) [ERP](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/erp) 2 Min Read ### [Humanizing the Modern Manufacturing Workplace](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/humanizing-the-modern-manufacturing-workplace) How bad is the dehumanizing environment in some manufacturing companies?
