FACTS ERP has helped to increase the efficiency and quality of the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process experienced slumps quiet often because of improper communication, mis-communication. FACTS ERP provided solutions to those troubles by coordinating the actions of supply chains, ware house and logistics. It also helped greatly in functions like tracking down the status of the product. Formerly customers were made to run from pillar to post to enquire the status of product or for enquiring a technical problem. The customer service representative would not be in a position to directly reply to these queries. On the contrary he would ask the person from the concerned department. The person would check the details and get back to him. It would be either for status of a product or technical issue. This seemed to be time-consuming and meaningless. The longer the chains of communication greater are the chances of mistakes. FACTS ERP finance is a software meant for accounting purposes. FACTS has helped the manufacturing sector in the following manner: Offering applications for diverse environment The manufacturing sector has a unique character. Its operations exhibit vast difference not only among different products but also against the units among different firms. This is the nature of work done in the industry. The versatile operation makes it utterly difficult to introduce any applications for the manufacturing sector. FACTS Enterprise applications helped greatly in providing precise and stable solutions that exactly fit the existing work flow of the company.
Helps to manage change While discussing change in the manufacturing sector the stress is on the quantum of change. Since change is an unavoidable element it is equally important to ensure that it is received positively and maximum measures are taken to meet the demand. Synchronicity Again, the greatest benefit to be gained from integration is having everyone in the production operation on the same page looking at the same real-time data. Data Input Only Once When data is input in one part of the system, the whole system has access to it. From estimates to work orders, from payroll to shipping, any input data is available to everyone. This, then, leads to the next point of. . . Less Spreadsheets Since all data is in the single-source system, production information does not have to be reproduced on traveling (and often out-of-date) spreadsheets. Orderliness When FACTSis used to replace two or more independent applications, it eliminates the need for the external interfaces that used to be required between systems in non-ERP operations. Shortened Cycle Times FACTS works well with just-in-time pull-production, increasing inventory turnover and reducing inventory cycle times. Efficient Direct Labour Direct labour costs are reduced through more precise and real-time production data. For example, routers might give clear and concise production instructions. As well, clocking on and off a job is made easier through the use of integrated recording systems such as Graphic User Interfaces (GUI).
Less In-Direct Labour Through integrated GUI time clocks, in-direct and non-productive labour time is accounted for by employees, and production is measured in terms of output relative to time spent. Reduced Set-Up Time In FACTS ERP, scheduling is tailored to build production around standardization, repetitive processes, and other lean manufacturing principles to reduce machine set-up and break-down times. On-Time Delivery Ultimately, the primary goal of on-time delivery is achieved through the efficiencies gained in ERP system unification. Production contingencies are anticipated and built into the scheduling system as a result of continuous data flow. In conclusion, these great benefits realized through FACTS integration are the result of one thing—synchronicity in the total operation. Manufacturers who chose to utilize FACTS ERP, as well as robust software and hardware within the system, can expect greater productivity through enhanced efficiencies, as well as better bottom-line profits.
