Manufacturing

When choosing an ERP system, manufacturers are faced with a difficult dilemma. Too often it comes down to choosing a solution that has strong manufacturing functionality at the expense of general business functionality. Or you are forced to purchase a separate system, such as financial management, and integrate the two. Not with Microsoft Axapta. It offers the full range of functionality – including deep manufacturing.

Greater Control

Microsoft Axapta gives you greater control over manufacturing and production. At any time, you can measure very specific costs associated with employees, machinery and products. This allows you to manage costs better and identify new possibilities faster.

Better Planning

The finite and infinite capacity and materials planning helps you project long-term needs, foresee fluctuations in demand and adjust your plans accordingly. You can manage your shop floor more effectively by reducing manual entry and web-enabling employee information such as time registration and payroll. By collecting and analyzing production-related information such as work hours and production activities, you can improve cost control.

Gantt charts provide a graphical illustration of schedules so that you can plan, coordinate and track specific tasks related to a project. Using Gantt charts, you can, for example, assess the consequences of staff rotations visually, via the graphic tool in a simple manner. You can define your Gantt plans and envision the production flow from one machine to another.

Simplified Configuration

Due to the online configuration, products can be generated online and with greater precision. At the same time, you can open your system up to customers and vendors so that they can configure their own products, submit orders and view an expected date of delivery via the Internet. The full graphical suite, including version control, helps you design and maintain bills of materials.

Distribution

Effective distribution comes down to knowing where items are at any given moment and ensuring an efficient flow from production, to storage, to shipping. With Microsoft Axapta, you can optimize your entire warehouse management cycle according to your needs based on accurate, timely information.

Flexible Storage

Microsoft Axapta facilitates the process for receiving items from both external suppliers and internal sources while providing extensive flexibility for placement of goods. It supports the division of warehouses into zones with different storage purposes, including chaotic storage.

Levels of Information

Dimensions make it possible for you to define very specific levels of information for each item group or each specific item. The support for serial and batch number control automatically stamps inventory or individual items with a number linked to shipments and deliveries. Microsoft Axapta also supports the use of bar codes as a means of running your warehouse more efficiently.

Multi-sites in One System

You can unite multi-sites in one installation reducing maintenance costs and IT resources. Multi-site support is ideal for companies with wide area networks that want centralized reporting and the ability to cross-reference or amalgamate information from individual offices. Customer, vendor, general ledger account numbers and similar information can be shared or made unique depending on business needs.

Supply Chain Management

When it comes to your supply chain, two goals come to mind – reducing inventory and increasing productivity. Today, with the combined forces of the Internet and ERP, it is possible to find the balance needed to achieve those goals. Microsoft Axapta is a natural fit to this equation due to its encompassing functionality and inherent Internet capabilities. It was built for the Internet giving you fast and cost-effective visibility and connectivity throughout your entire supply chain.

Collaborating Online – Makes Sense

The supply chain comes to life when you connect with your customers and vendors using the Internet. Via personalized Web portals, they can interact directly with your ERP data reducing the time and costs associated with sales, purchases and deliveries.
