The TakeStock Manufacturing Control add-on module provides distributors with a highly efficient
system for managing the entire production process. Robust yet easy-to-use, Manufacturing Control
streamlines production by reducing employee training times while speeding up the process of
entering work orders.
This module provides a step-by-step process that will minimize the margin of error
and reduce order fulfillment time.
The assembly, disassembly and reconfiguration modes provide users with remarkable flexibility in minimizing
inventory investment while maximizing customer service. For example, a distributor may purchase
finished items for less than the value of their components; so in using the disassembly mode, cost effective
component replenishment is achieved.
Additionally, a state-of-the-art configurator provides a quick and easy
wizard to select components of a produced or parent item. This advanced functionality is supported in make
to order, make to stock and kitted production process.
Features:
- Allows users to define the parent item and
include overhead, packaging, labor costs and
other add-ons
- Provides flexibility to include optional
components in the Bills of Material through
selection groups
- Allows add-ons to be priced as a fixed amount
or percentage of the parent item and labor to
be priced per unit or per hour
- Permits component items to be set to allow
changes or substitutions by parent item
- Establishes parent items as produced or kitted,
or allows production type to be determined at
time of sales order entry
- Supports waste factors at the component
item level
- Displays where the component items may be
found in Bills of Material with a Where
Used Inquiry
- Permits parent item pricing to be based on
item schedules, component price or component
cost roll-ups
- Allows assembly, disassembly and
reconfiguration
- Allows items to be designated and tracked
as outsourced
- Calculates component requirements to ensure
that enough of each component is available
to complete a production run
