Works Orders & Production Control
Enjoy complete control over your works orders and reduce the amount of time they spend on the shop-floor. The system will suggest which orders need to be launched and then track materials/labour usage (and their costs) as the order progresses - helping to ensure that resources are available when needed. Create 'jobs' from more than one works order, and link them to the corresponding sales orders for greater visibility. Relevant information is automatically passed to job costing.
The range of functionality provided by this module is exceptional: work-to-lists, trial kitting, capacity planning, scrap recording, backflushing and variance accounting are just some of the features included. Priority orders can be kept to the fore and early warning given of the workload that will occur if MRPII suggestions are implemented. Overruns can be identified immediately, and analysed in terms of cost and time. The list of features includes:
- Orders generated manually or by the system
- Unlimited extra text attached to the order
- Ability to change the bill of materials for each order
- User-defined documentation, including bar coding
- Work-to-lists
- Trial kitting
- Shortage notes
- Allocate stock to works orders
- Capacity planning with links to graphical scheduling
- Rough cut planning
- Actual costing
- Record scrap
