Production Management
The production management module includes the following applications: operating range, cost computation, MRP, planning and scheduling, production monitoring, production time, outsourcing management and post-production.
Operating range
This application is optimised for maximal integration with the commercial and financial applications (Sysengage and Sysfinance).
Features
Management of technical data
- multi-level nomenclature
- classification in different types of items
- information on each item
- creation of manufacturing files
- modification follow-up
Management of operational range files
- operation type
- operation description
- execution location
- preparation time
- data screening
- necessary components for completion
- execution instructions
- workstation parameters
- tooling and CNC programmes
- drawings and technical materials
- control range
- information on the control resources
Cost computation
It offers a simple and efficient way to evaluate the costs related to a manufacturing order thanks to pre-computing features, and can also reduce costs thanks to post-computing features.
Features
Management of manufacturing orders
- evaluation of the effective costs of the manufacturing order,
- transfer of cost variance on standard cost to the accounts
Management of reporting in cost accounting
- transfer of manufacturing costs according to the:
- product group
- project
- combination product/project
MRP (Needs management)
The MRP application offers a set of features allowing to calculate the needs, and particularly a multi-level simulation module.
Features
Need computation
- simulation application
- automatic generation of needs
Computation methods
- level by level breakdown methods
- overall breakdown methods at all levels of nomenclature
- breakdown methods from a particular need to the last level
Planning and scheduling
Optimal targeting and distribution of tasks performed to meet the needs in an adequate and precise way at the customer’s request.
Features
Batch management
- proposal of production batches
- batch grouping to minimise launching effects
- batch scattering according to specific constraints
Management of the manufacturing process
- according to possible operating ranges
- according to the availability of resources
- according to the production batch
Scheduling
- various types of scheduling in production planning
Additional features
- taking into account inter-operating times
- taking into account production orders
- possibility to use subcontracting in case of absence or in case production means are saturated
Production monitoring
This application informs the management on the progress of work. Measures the efficiency of the production and can inform the customer on the progress of orders.
Features
Management of the monitoring
- operations after operations by simply entering completed quantities and attendance time of operators
- by exporting the information to a monitoring sheet
- by a pointing device using a badge and stamping units
Management of outsourcing operations
- automatic generation of purchase orders
- downloading the production order and stock supplying at delivery entry
- immediate proposal for the destination of spare parts
Production time
The application uses a time component to manage some processes in the production chain.
Features
Management of production stamping
- updating of operating time and costs,
- updating of the capacities of charging units
- checking of staff attendance time
Outsourcing management
This application is an adequate response to the needs related to the management of subcontractors involved in the production chain.
Features
Management of outsourcing operations
- outsourcing monitoring
Outsourcing management
- automatic generation of purchase orders
- downloading the production order and stock supplying at delivery entry
- immediate proposal for the destination of spare parts
- acceptance of different management methods
Post-production
This application provides the necessary information for identifying the products (composition, origin, etc.), from production to distribution.
Features
Traceability
- follow-up of items by batch and/or serial N°
- follow-up of guaranties and other repair work
- possibility of printing control certificates
- managements of loans and consignment
- waste management
