ERP software: Microsoft Dynamics for Manufacturing

Distribution companies in the 21st century are often also asked to be a manufacturer for many of their products. Systems are required to control quality, cost, production flow, and security more effectively-from the facility floor to the back office. You need a powerful, cost-effective resource planning and management tools that enable you and your staff to collaborate with trading partners, manage the entire financial life cycle of the manufacturing business process, and build a sustainable advantage in your industry.

Our goal is to help manufacturers achieve better results by making your systems "people-ready." We strive, through our Peak Performance Initiative, to help people develop new products faster, increase visibility into operations across the manufacturing value chain, and improve sales and customer service.

Listed below are some of the ways we have helped customers realize their goals:

Job Costing

To maximize the profitability of your business, you need accurate, current, and easy-to-access data regarding every costing detail related to a job. Job Costing in Microsoft Dynamics GP delivers this functionality to manufacturers by capturing all costs when they occur and consolidating them in one location that is easy to access and manage-delivering a comprehensive view of production profitability.

Order Processing

Microsoft Dynamics GP empowers you to direct the entire cycle of order processing so that you can build a business that is both customer-driven and profitable. Here are some features that can improve your planning in build-to-forecast or hybrid environments:

• Improved Workflow

  Set up sales orders to flow easily into manufacturing orders.

• Quick Manufacturing Orders

  Set up orders and empower timely recording of production. You can also backflush materials, labor, and machine expenses.

• Automated Scheduling

  Calculate start and due dates automatically, based on the routing used.

• Visibility into Component Shortages

  View a list of picklist component shortages, including details about when the items are needed for manufacturing orders, to help manage your inventory replenishment plans.

• Comprehensive Variance

  Assessment Track enables you to track in dollars or percentages for each cost category by estimated, work-in-progress, and actual amounts. View by unit, or for complete manufacturing orders.

Quality Assurance

Seize the competitive advantage with tight control of the quality testing process, so that products consistently meet or exceed your customer's requirements. Keep your customer retention levels high by providing them with detailed, current information on quality assurance testing for their products.

Sales Forecasting

Microsoft Dynamics GP helps increase collaboration, bridging communication gaps and creating a powerful loop that promotes effective and efficient product delivery.
