PAC SYSTEM BENEFITS
Production Activity Control provides an improved monitoring of fabrication or transformation processes common to manufacturers in industries such as the automotive aftermarket.
“The entire process was streamlined to meet the high transactional volumes, improve order fill rates and better serve customers. In addition, we have realized a 99% inventory accuracy rate and can better meet customer expectations with significant, accuracy and service improvements.”
Improve Productivity
See which materials have an unusual waste factor. Monitor the performance of employees and their managers, direct vs. overhead labor, and variances by work center or operation. Reduce clerical costs. No need to reenter the transactions of the shop floor to obtain accurate cost accounting, inventory tracking, and efficiency calculations.
Improve Quality
Centralize up to date bill of materials with routings automatically transferred to the work order, and print with unlimited instructions. Effective communications translate into fewer errors and immediate correction.
Improve Customer Satisfaction
Be aware of overdue work orders, and (through the use of eWISE), keep customers informed on current job status via a secured web interface.
IMPROVE INVENTORY CONTROL
Materials are allocated to work orders, to reflect the proper stock status. Know the current status in each warehouse.
STREAMLINE DATA ENTRY
A training database allows you to experiment and learn without affecting company data. Standard default values make data entry quick while limiting errors. Complete audit trails by operator encourage quality input. Routine functions can be stacked, thus reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. Bill of material and routing information can be automatically copied into a work order. Work orders can be automatically generated from the master plan. Interface with other software modules, such as inventory management, bill of materials, production planning, and payroll.
WORK ORDER TRACKING
Work order tracking keeps management informed of the status of all jobs until completion.
IMPROVE COST CONTROL
Establish your estimated costs on a job by job basis or define them using the bill of materials module. Track actual costs automatically from the entry of time and materials transactions. See up to date costing and job status information for any or all open jobs. Analyze the variance due to over/under utilization, waste, or price differences for both materials and labor. Analyze by product line or department to verify that objectives are met.
LABOR EFFICIENCY
Labor efficiency highlights deviation from standards by employee and department.
VERIFY OBJECTIVES
Analyze information by product line or department to verify that objectives are met.
ESTIMATE COSTS
Establish your estimated costs on a job by job basis, or define them using the manufacturing design module. Track actual costs automatically from the entry of time and materials transactions.
JOB STATUS
See up to date costing and job status information for any or all open jobs.
ANALYZE VARIANCES
Analyze variances due to over/under utilization, waste or price differences for both materials and labor.
