  Manufacturing Data Management

  Work Centres are maintained by site and hold all the cost rates and default scheduling information. They can be grouped by section for scheduling and reporting purposes.

  A calendar is provided by site, defining working days, available hours per day, and start and stop times.

  The Item Specification provides an integrated definition of how a product is manufactured including materials, operations and other resources. Multiple versions can be maintained for different manufacturing plants or production lines and for engineering change management.

  If the item is manufactured in a batch mixing process, this can be flagged and the specification can be maintained and viewed either as a whole batch or as a base unit.

  Yield and wastage are provided for and are used for calculating both material requirements and costing.

  Process times can be based on different units eg minutes per piece, seconds per piece, pieces per hour or hours per batch.

  Costs for a manufactured item can be calculated dynamically for the current level, or a complete re-cost performed for all levels up to the current level.

  Multiple views showing single level or indented, materials or operations are provided.

  An Item Specification can be copied to create a new version for the same item or for a different Item.
  

  Costing for Manufactured Items

  Each Item Specification has eight cost components, two of which are for set up. Standard costs are then calculated based on the standard run size.

  The Item Specification provides for the re-costing of the current level or all levels up to the current level. In doing so it provides the option of forcing the selected run size to be used to calculate the costs of the lower level items or to use their nominated run size.

  Re-Costing an also be based on a Selection. This process recalculates the standard costs for all selected Item Specifications and if chosen can apply these standard costs to the Inventory at each site.
  

  Work Orders and Shop Floor Control

  Work Orders can be created from Sales Orders, released from MRP or released manually. Materials are allocated and purchase requests created when materials are not available.

  Detailed work order sheets with associated documents (eg Drawings) can be printed along with daily or weekly work-centre and job schedules.

  Both planned and actual materials and process times are captured for later review and analysis.

  Data may be collected by manual entry, bar code transactions or feed from a data collection sub-system.

  When using manual entry all recording is by exception.
