    What is Infor LN

    Infor LN is an enterprise-grade ERP platform purpose-built for discrete manufacturers and project-based organizations. Originating from Baan ERP and continuously enhanced by Infor, LN supports global operations with integrated capabilities across manufacturing, supply chain, finance, project management, quality, procurement, and service management.

    Today, Infor LN serves more than 1,500 manufacturing organizations worldwide and is recognized for its ability to support highly complex production environments, multi-site operations, and engineer-to-order business models.

    Why Infor LN

    Built for Complex Manufacturing

    Infor LN traces back to Baan ERP and has been continuously rebuilt by Infor into a modern, industry-specific platform for discrete and project manufacturers. Where generic ERPs treat manufacturing as a module, LN treats it as the core: engineering change control, multi-BOM costing, mixed-mode production, and project financials are native, not customized in.

    Unlike generic ERP systems, Infor LN is specifically designed to support complex manufacturing scenarios including engineer-to-order (ETO), make-to-order (MTO), configure-to-order (CTO), and project-driven production.

    What sets LN Apart

    Right-icon

    Native support for ETO, CTO, MTO, and MTS — often simultaneously, on the same production floor

    Right-icon

    Deep industry configurations for aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment out of the box

    Right-icon

    Built-in project costing and milestone billing, not a bolted-on PSA module

    Right-icon

    Available on Infor CloudSuite, with a defined path off older on-premise LN versions.

    Global Operational Visibility

    See every plant, currency, and regulatory requirement from one platform. Multi-entity consolidation that doesn’t wait for a manual roll-up at month-end. Manage multiple companies, locations, plants, currencies, and regulatory requirements within a single integrated platform.

    Project-Driven Manufacturing Control

    Gain control over project costs, procurement, production schedules, contract milestones, and profitability throughout the entire project lifecycle. Track project cost, procurement, schedule, and contract milestones against profitability in real time not after the project’s already closed out.

    Modern Cloud Platform

    Infor LN is available on the Infor CloudSuite platform, leveraging modern technologies including automation, analytics, AI capabilities, and workflow orchestration.

    When to choose LN over Infor M3 / Other ERP

    Organizations evaluating Infor LN often compare it with Infor M3 and other ERP solutions based on their manufacturing requirements.

    If your production is engineer-to-order, project-based, or spans aerospace/ automotive/ industrial equipment with complex BOMs and long production cycles, LN is typically the stronger fit.

    Industries We Serve

    Infor LN delivers deep industry functionality for organizations operating in highly specialized manufacturing environments.

    Aerospace-&-Defense

    Aerospace & Defense

    Long project lifecycles, strict traceability, and contract compliance don’t leave room for guesswork. LN manages full genealogy tracking, AS9100-aligned quality processes, and multi-year program financials in one system. Manage long project lifecycles, regulatory requirements, supply chain complexity, traceability, and contract fulfillment.

    Automotive

    Automotive

    Support OEM and supplier operations with production scheduling, component traceability, and just-in-time manufacturing. OEM and Tier 1/2 suppliers run on just-in-time delivery windows measured in hours, not days. LN supports EDI-driven scheduling, component traceability, and production sequencing built for automotive cadence.

    Industrial-Manufacturing

    Industrial Manufacturing

    Optimize engineering, production planning, procurement, inventory, and operational performance. Complex configurations, long BOMs, and unpredictable demand make planning hard. LN gives engineering, procurement, and production one shared view of the order from quote to ship.

    High-Tech-&-Electronics

    High-Tech & Electronics

    Improve responsiveness to rapid product innovation and global sourcing requirements. Product cycles move fast and sourcing is global. LN keeps engineering changes, multi-tier BOMs, and supplier data in sync so a spec change doesn’t mean a week of manual rework.
    Engineering-&-Project

    Engineering & Project-Based Manufacturing

    Control project profitability while ensuring delivery excellence across complex production environments. When every job is different, project profitability is won or lost in the details. LN ties cost, schedule, and delivery together so margin erosion shows up in week two, not at close-out.
