Execute
The Challenge:
In MTO/ETO manufacturing environments, product engineers are often forced to replicate their knowledge for every single quote or order to ensure accuracy of custom product configurations. Few ERP systems are equipped to efficiently handle demands for custom orders that extend beyond standard product offerings. Complex product orders can quickly drain engineering and manufacturing resources, leaving them little time to focus on new product development, high margin orders or production efficiencies.
The Solution:
Execute eliminates these challenges by streamlining information flow from order entry directly to the ERP system and onto the factory floor. Execute generates unique single- or multi-level bills of materials, routings, due dates, costs and prices. It can also schedule and sequence subsequent production of the custom order to eliminate errors, delays and workflow redundancies across the supply chain. Platform and database independent, Execute may be integrated to other modules to generate custom proposal documents, cost estimates, quotes and graphic product visualization.
Typical Benefits of Execute: |
 |
|
Speed:
- Reduces manufacturing lead times, inventory replenishment coverage and BOM product structuring by 80%.
- Reduces time spent by engineering on product review from 70-80% to 5-10%.
- Reduces order through engineering to factory floor from weeks to minutes.
Product Accuracy:
- Eliminates order-entry errors by 98-100%.
- Provides 100% product and component standardization.
- Automates closed-loop deployment of engineered changes enterprise-wide.
- Migrates effectivity dates through product families within configuration rules.
- Enables engineering intent to be captured, managed and preserved within all configuration rules.
- Automatically generates BOMs, manufacturing instructions, inspection documents and multi-level material lists for each configured order.
Streamlined System Maintenance & Processes:
- Enables 40-80% reduction in BOMs, routings and drawings maintenance.
- Stores custom product data on ERP systems to streamline on-line replacement part inventory and ordering.
- Eliminates need for re-engineered, duplicate components and “specials”.
- Delivers configured dimensional data to CAD systems to render.
