ERP.Production – Version for the Fishery and Fish Processing Industry

The ERP.Production solution allows to plan, control, analyze and manage production processes of industrial enterprises.

Production processes even in one industry differ greatly depending on the manufactured products. Products are usually diverse in kinds and types and, moreover, often go through a number of stages during the life cycle, therefore the enterprise requires different management models. Support of the full product life cycle is carried out from production to sale or write-off.

Volume-calendar planning based on requests makes it possible to plan production and form plans based on existing sales orders and availability of critical components (materials) and production equipment.

Material requirements planning allows, when launching a request into work, to calculate the needs for all materials and raw materials, taking into account warehouse stocks, planned receipts and shipments. The named needs arise on the basis of sales orders, shop orders, work orders (repairs). This information is compared with unreserved stocks, supply orders and shop orders to determine the need for raw materials and components.

The task of capacity requirements planning consists in determining the real сроки of execution of the production program on the available production capacities. Planning the load of work centers facilitates the process of determining possible bottlenecks and allows smoothing underload and overload of production capacities and personnel.

One of the results of the module operation are the requests generated by the system for creation of shop orders and supply orders. Orders are created on the basis of acceptance or adjustment of requests.

Work instructions (technical conditions for performing operations) for execution of the order can be added to a shop order, as well as components can be added or excluded.

Informational messages about the threat of overdue delivery date of a sales order due to delays in supply and execution of shop orders are provided.

Product cost control.

Standard cost (standart costing). When calculating it, they are guided by the provisions that planned values are based on the forecast, direct variable costs are planned by product types, other costs by cost centers. Cost calculation is performed for a standard batch size or production cycle.

Process cost (activity based costing) - unlike standard cost, uses the parameters of the process of creating added value as a result of consumption of various resources. For non-standard products, for which production preparation, design and technological elaboration, several cycles of equipment setup may be required, it is possible to define the listed processes as sources of process costs.

The possibility of combining standard and process cost in one hybrid cost model is provided. Calculations according to the above cost models are carried out on the basis of summing cost elements and take into account the data of the specification and technological route, as well as the technological process. The calculation contains estimates of costs of this level of production and all lower ones down to purchased components and raw materials.

The current calculation of production costs by order reflects the registered volume of work in progress by order. On its basis, the current production situation can be analyzed and corrected based on the analysis of reasons for deviations from the preliminary cost calculation. Operational functional cost analysis of production makes it possible to quickly see where deviations begin.

Analysis of the operation of production with a wide assortment of goods and large turnover is very difficult and requires a large amount of time. Correctly setting priorities is helped by the ABC-analysis method ( Activity-Based Costing ), with the help of which it is possible to immediately identify that group of 20 percent of goods that bring 40 percent of income, and to identify those 10 percent of goods that bring 5 percent of income and take away 25 percent of production capacities.

Brief list of capabilities of the ERP.Production module

• Production output planning

• using graphical tools to optimize the loading of production capacities,

• with creation of a list of necessary components,

• with creation of a list of performed works and necessary human resources,

• Control over the production process by sections by:

• movement of components by performed orders using multi-level analysis by types and names,

• components consumed for production, with analytics of planned and actually spent funds, both by period and cumulatively,

• wages, including piecework or time-based wage calculation, with analytics of planned and actually spent time and funds, both by period and cumulatively,

• analytics of obtained products ( defects, returns to production, rejection ).

• constant expenses for activity ( rents, leasings and so on ), with analytics of planned and actually spent funds, both by period and cumulatively,

• taxes, with analytics of planned and actually spent funds, both by period and cumulatively,

• issued invoices and their payment;

• The obtained data have possibilities:

• analysis of the production cycle for any period, as well as step-by-step and by-order, with obtaining results for a certain date, with analysis of cost and prime cost,

• analysis of several forms of activity,

• analysis of sub- or general contracts, with analytics of planned and actually spent funds, both by period and cumulatively, of deadlines for execution of works;

• Possibility to оперативно assess the economic condition of the enterprise, the economic benefit from a specific executed order or form of activity of the enterprise;

• Archive of all documentation without limitation of their storage period;

• Fast finding in the archive of information by various attributes (order number, job order, configuration, client, invoice number and so on) ;

Interaction of WMS.Management and ERP.Production is built on the principle of their full integration, in particular , when issuing finished products from production, the corresponding warehouse receipt document is automatically created, when issuing raw materials to production, the corresponding document on acceptance of raw materials into production is automatically created. For transferring requests for production and internal issue within the enterprise, an internal document transfer system with sound notification, with analysis of execution and with control of unfulfilled orders is used.

The delivery set includes adaptation to the conditions and needs of a specific enterprise, installation, setup and full staff training with subsequent 1 year of software support.

The cost of the software complex is determined individually for each company, depending on the volume of adaptation works and the number of workplaces, the required composition of the complex.

If the client wishes, we will develop a full or limited web interface, using modern web technologies. More detailed information is at the link Application in production and warehouse complexes.

 

Form for entering raw materials into the technological process. In the left part of the form, the warehouse document is visible, according to which the raw materials were issued to production, with the possibility of quick переход to it by double click. In the right part, at any moment of work with the production module, the main parameters of the production cycle are shown.

 

Form for entering data on the technological process.

 

Form for forming packaged finished products. By the "Issue to warehouse" button, automatic issuing of finished products to the production warehouse or to the trading warehouse is performed.
