Manufacturing
NetAims InfoTech LLP is a global leader in providing better service to manufacturing industries. NetAims.com, the company’s corporate website, was in dire need for rebranding to reach a larger audience and to drive strategic marketing initiatives effectively. The legacy application was unable to meet emerging requirements of the mobile Web and needed improvement in usage experience through a better user interface (UI), easy content creation, management, and better access.
Our Manufacturing ERP software assists you with the planning and execution of manufacturing projects by tracking suppliers, materials and production costs and supporting the maintenance of relationships with end customers. This class of software covers the gamut of ERP—from the accounting systems that track accounts for international giants, to the shop scheduling system that your local metal shop uses. Regardless of the scale of the system, software for manufacturers helps increase productivity and improve management of the product life cycle—from design concept to production planning to field service.
Benefits of Manufacturing Applications
Better planning and resource allocation: One of the greatest benefits of a manufacturing solution is better data and insight into the actual costs of inventory, people and equipment and the time needed for each step of the planning and production process.
Greener operations: Better planning and tracking leads to operations that generate less waste and less scrap, reducing environmental impact for those firms. Additionally, as more documentation is kept electronically, it reduces waste paper and cuts paper costs.
Support for lean manufacturing: Better planning, better resource allocation and reduced waste are all goals of lean disciplines.
Producing compliance documentation: Many manufacturers are subject to strict compliance regulations because of the materials they use, the products they manufacture, or the raw materials they consume. Software can generate much of the required documentation as a consequence of ordering and receiving materials and equipment.
Common Features of Manufacturing Software
Material Requirements Planning (MRP): Automates the front end of the production process. Functions include planning and costing of materials, labor and equipment; automated quoting; order processing and resource scheduling. Systems should also process advanced shipping notification from suppliers to reduce receiving errors and report any changes in cycle counts for inventory management.
Manufacturing execution system (MES): Controls the actual production phase and shop floor operations. Functions include work-in-progress reporting, production tracking, labor tracking, equipment utilization and scrap reporting.
Manufacturing Accounting: Manages all of the financial transactions and operations for a company. In addition to the traditional accounting functions of general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, inventory and payroll, the accounting application includes support for sales orders, purchase orders, change orders, work-in-progress reports and job costing modules.
Production Planning & Scheduling: Creates production schedules, including reviewing inventory levels, tracking lead times and making build-versus-buy decisions. This is a subset of MRP; planning and scheduling does not generally include automatic ordering or inventory tracking functionality.
Product Life Cycle Management (PLM): Organizes all manufacturing information around to the designing, producing, supporting and disposing of manufactured goods. May include computer-aided design software, bill of materials data and document management.
