Assembly manufacturing is one of more than 12 manufacturing types supported within EnterpriseIQ, the company’s single-source ERP software solution.
According to the company, while process and jobshop oriented facilities have always benefited from EnterpriseIQ, the introduction of the specific assembly manufacturing type further enhances tracking of complex routing structures. Benefits of this assembly structure include the ability to identify product availability and costs at each stage of production as well as the option of choosing between dispatch lists or finite scheduling. More varied companies will also benefit from the detailed lot traceability, operator certifications, and training and tool tracking functionalities, added IQMS.
Randy Flamm, president and founder of IQMS, said: Every year, demands on manufacturers increase. To stay competitive, companies often need to create more complex, multi-level bills of material while still maintaining control and consistency. Recently we have seen a trend toward more requirements for machine shop, metal fabricators, and process-related operations – especially in the medical device field, which has strict traceability concerns and constraints. This latest manufacturing type follows in the tradition of giving all our customers flexibility to drive lean and agile operations throughout the assembly process.
