Manufacturing Control

Source: AIM Computer Solutions, Inc
This application group is designed to maintain your routings and BOMs as well as track inventory, costing and production information
      Benefits
  • Inventory Control integrates with all applications so no transactions are ever entered twice.
  • Inventory records for material usage are automatically updated through the backflushing function, thereby reducing data entry and maintaining data integrity.
  • Standard Cost is an integral part of the system designed to capture all manufacturing costs and report variances between standard and actual.
  • Controlled costing calculations (include/exclude in cost) by routing step.
  • Complete profitability analysis compares all costs (direct and indirect) to selling revenue. This assists the user in determining which parts are making the most money.
  • Complete lot tracking of finished goods provides traceability to component parts and processes.
