The bottom line drives Aerospace & Defense and Project Manufacturing environments. Efficiencies in purchasing and supply chain management must be realized with advanced, fully integrated software solutions that accommodate constant change in requirements, purchasing procedures, consolidation of suppliers and resources, and methods of communication and verification. The ability to respond quickly to shifting conditions and priorities requires a complete integration of project, financial and supply chain information and the ability to clearly communicate time-sensitive information to multiple locations and audiences simultaneously. As demand for products rises and falls, companies must have the information and capabilities needed to react quickly to optimize supply chain management company wide.
From planning & estimating to bid acceptance and project management, our line of fully integrated supply chain management modules address the materials management needs of each project:
Project Work Order® – integrated with Project Resource, Estimating & Planning ®, the accepted bid automatically creates the materials budget and time-phased demand for materials at the project and task level. Manage inventory levels to avoid stock-out situations by accurately forecasting, by material item, supply and demand on a daily basis.
Bill of Materials - Manufactured items are frequently built in a multi-level fashion. Single-level bills may be “nested” in any order to define a multi-level bill, thereby facilitating the documentation and cost rollup process. When your requirement is to build the products you have engineered using work orders to track work-in-process, Project Work Order will make use of your product structures and production routings. Bill of Material supports multiple costing methods, provides robust overhead allocations and variance distributions provide costing visibility in the planning and production of your finished product.
Inventory – manage materials in multiple warehouses and bin locations. Track serial and lot numbers. Control inventory using Physical and Cycle counts. Setup preferred vendors, re-order levels and safety stock. Use real-time inquiry screens to view item availability by warehouse, project, or company-wide.
Inventory Replenshment – automate the replenishment cycle by automatically generating purchase orders using precise calculations such as: demand and lead time formulas, trends and seasonality, multi-site planning, vendor performance, optimal order points.
Purchasing – full integration with Inventory, Inventory Replensishment, Accounts Payable, Project Management, Subcontractor Management and Order Management. Create purchase orders that support multiple shipping addresses, drop ship, blanket orders, change orders. Update inventory immediately using PO/Receipt matching process.
Purchase Requisitions - Employees can enter requests directly into the system and managers can approve or reject requests as they are submitted. Managers can use the data to obtain price breaks on approved purchases, saving your company both time and money. Item Request Entry and Approval are available through a Web browser using Microsoft Dynamics Business Portal.
