AMS (Advanced Manufacturing System)
manufacturing software has everything needed to control and track
production, from quote to shipping. Running your business requires
you manage both production and job related administration.
AMS manufacturing software makes it easy for the tasks of planning
production, reserving and ordering stock. You will have a list of
all your costs for the recipe or a parts list of the product you
are making from the Bill of Materials created using the Bill of
Materials Software (Bom Software).
This can be multi level to include sub assemblies. By planning
production for the next few months, material requirements can be
planned, reserved or ordered. One of the most critical and time-consuming
aspects of manufacturing is maintaining the right amounts of raw
materials and components.
| How it works: |
| |
When production is commenced the materials or components are
issued out of stock and into Work in Process. |
| |
The costs can include labour, outwork, non-stock resources,
overhead as well as component costs. |
| |
When production is completed you will know if you have completed
the processing efficiently or had a cost overrun |
| |
|
Manufacturers from a wide range of industries use AMS, including
manufacturers of machinery, electrical components and processors
of chemicals and food. The easy to use manufacturing control system
can be extended to address particular needs of a business.
One manager from a stainless steel component manufacturer - an
AMS user - is full of praise. As he says, “...We can now record
quotes for production work with detailed costing of all production
stages. This means that data entered for quotes doesn't have to
be re-entered for production instructions, which saves a great deal
of work”.
The quoting system can handle ‘one off’ orders to include
production details and costs or use standard bills of materials
as the basis for the quote. The history of quotes entered, the value
to different work centres and rates of conversion to orders can
be reported on in detail. When quotes are accepted for production,
all the information is already in the production system, ready to
go into the Bom Software. This is just one example of how AMS helped
a manufacturer.
AMS manufacturing software is robust, too, thanks to its design
and use of MS SQL as its database. From simple bill of materials
planning and organisation to complex MRP requirements, AMS can grow
with your business to introduce efficiencies and improve productivity.
AMS is made up of a number of modules. Each AMS module is designed
to provide specific manufacturing functionality and to seamlessly
integrate with the other modules. Modules can be purchased separately
in accordance with individual business requirements.
The AMS modules are based around the core functionality of bills
of materials/manufacturing for items that are manufactured by a
business.
