Job Scheduler (AutoQ)
The Auto-Q module is a system that allows you to queue batch type
functions for later processing at user specified times, instead of
online.
These programmes are typically reports and batch processing
facilities such as file reorganisations that would normally be run
manually at period end.
Product Configuration
Product Configuration allows for the controlled creation of complex
products to be achieved through a simple rule based question and
answer session. The result is the automatic generation of Bill of
Materials, Routes, Works Orders and Sales Orders.
One question list produces a single source of all configured
data which you can retain and fast-searched for future duplication.
Product Configuration provides a complex quality product that is
derived from a simple procedure.
Rough Cut Capacity Planning
Rough Cut Capacity Planning provides a rapid view of the capability
of a business to build products within specified customer service
levels. It is possible to identify certain bottlenecks and
highlight areas where resources are being under-utilised.
This prioritisation, whether by capital plant or by labour,
provides a high level, fast first cut view of the resources needed,
enabling management to adjust efficiently to consumer demand.
Routing
Routing provides a comprehensive suite designed to ease the
management of the many other resources required to produce
manufactured product economically and effectively.
The complex shape and combination of resources associated with
the modern shop floor can be easily maintained using the Routing
module.
Sub Contract Control
Sub Contract Control allows for the enhanced management,
documentation and visibility of routing operations that are to be
actioned by third parties.
Creation of purchase orders, control of material flow, transfer
documentation, status and chasing facilities, costing to general
and project ledgers, sub contractor timesheet entry, sub contractor
self billing from timesheets are all included.
Work in Progress
Work in Progress contains real time links that show the status of
any Works Order by cost, progress and customer. Event management is
a quality enabler that codifies issues into groups set up by the
user.
The frequency of any event can then be reported, allowing
improvements to be continuously applied and monitored. For example,
identifying a machine that needs to be replaced rather than
repaired or highlighting absenteeism by department.
