With the growing challenges of global competition, increasing material costs and lead times, exacting quality standards and critical deadlines to be met, being able to drill down into the detail of each operation is a significant advantage. By connecting multiple departments with shared insight, it can help you to minimise risk, make informed delivery promises and achieve the agility needed to stay responsive to customer and industry demands.
Additional Features
- Optional rippling logic prevents works order operations from being started out of sequence and validates booked part quantities

Additional Benefits
- Co-ordinate activities to ensure equipment is available when required for operations to be started on time
- Eliminates the need to wait for completed job sheets and the challenge of deciphering hand written notes
- Attach photographic evidence of the condition of material, resource or product before it moves on to the next stage in the manufacturing process or the factory
- Track and analyse deviations between planned and actual operation times
- Improve communication, shared information and increased visibility to drive on-time delivery performance
- Leverage the data held in your ERP/MRP and/or APS systems, filling the gap where enterprise systems are typically less extensible
