Routings document exactly who produces your products, when and how. With the UA Routings solution, you have the flexibility to define your production methods with as much or as little detail as you deem beneficial to be effective and efficient. Employees on the production floor can be supported with details as simple as standard values for labor, machine and cycle times, or as elaborate as CAD drawings or full motion video documenting processes. Simple or detailed, workers are supported with the best tools to get the job right.
UA Routings also allow users to create unlimited routings for each item produced, and can designate each of those routings as either primary or secondary, which facilitates rush or special orders. Parallel sequences can be incorporated, facilitating multiple production stages occurring simultaneously, thus reducing the overall cycle time for the routing. Phased sequences are also supported whereby specified portions of the job are necessarily completed prior to the initiation of another phase.
UA's flexible architecture also facilitates detailed what-if scenarios, which when coupled with UA's impeccable tracking of time and costs associated with your production sequences, again make UA the right choice to improve your bottom line. And, with UA's exceptional query tools, you'll never be uninformed about how alternatives have affected your financials.
