EnterpriseIQ

Inventory Control Module

An accurate inventory may be the single most important factor in maximizing enterprise and supply chain efficiency. With the EnterpriseIQ (acquired by DELMIAworks) Manufacturing ERP Inventory software, controlling inventory and costs has never been easier.

EnterpriseIQ Inventory is built on facilitating lean management principles with functions such as:

• Separate Inventory Master records for each manufacturing individual location (or EPlant)

These programs address different needs of the user community and cover both global and specific issues within the software.
