Production Management for SYSPRO

Work in Progress (WIP)

SYSPRO Work in Progress (WIP) provides you with complete control of the factory floor with up-to-the-minute WIP information, such as the management of production activities, monitoring and controlling of materials and job variances, and the identification of overloaded work centers.

Manufacturing Operations Management

SYSPRO’s Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solution can help you revolutionize your company to remain competitive in today’s market. It optimizes and improves end-to-end manufacturing operations by providing complete manufacturing life-cycle management from planning to scheduling, publishing, collecting, tracking, and analyzing.

Together with SYSPRO ERP, this Manufacturing Execution System (MES) offers a unique level of delivery, cost, and quality control of manufacturing operations for job shops, batch production, production lines, and mixed-mode environments.

Activity-Based Costing

SYSPRO Activity Based Costing (ABC) allows for the accumulation and recovery of costs associated with the purchasing, manufacturing, and selling of items, thereby improving accuracy in calculating product profitability. Overhead costs are accumulated against items by attaching elements of cost to the transition points of purchasing, manufacturing, and selling.

Engineering Change Control

SYSPRO Engineering Change Control (ECC) helps you improve the management of engineering changes to your products and/or associated data by enforcing controls in product design. This is achieved through user-defined workflow, steps, and processes. It can augment or replace the paper trail that typically accompanies any changes to product design data and provides detailed audit reports for all transactions, including all historical changes and the operator performing the change to meet all compliance requirements. The archiving facility enables retrieval and production of prior revisions/ releases.

Lot Traceability

SYSPRO Lot Traceability enables you to maximize quality control by tracking products, materials, and processes, as well as by facilitating effective recalls. It caters for the tracking of materials through receipt, manufacture, assembly, inspection, stocking, and final distribution while maintaining quality assurance certification and tracking expiration dates. 

Users can identify which materials require lot tracking and the stages of production where information needs to be recorded throughout the manufacturing process.

Material Requirements Planning

SYSPRO Material Requirements Planning (MRP) uses projected and actual demand and supply to assist in planning and creating realistic production, purchasing, and supply transfer schedules. It also identifies capacity constraints and maintains optimal stock holdings in multi-site and multi-warehouse environments.

With its online MPS and Job, Purchase Order, and Supply Chain Review programs, SYSPRO MRP enables straightforward conversions of the suggestions from the Requirements Calculation results to live data. It is a bucket-less system that provides the facilities to run ​‘what-if’ scenarios. Variable planning intervals and user-defined planning horizons offer further flexibility.

Projects & Contracts

SYSPRO Projects and Contracts facilitates accurate profit reporting for long-term projects which require analysis of costs and revenues for multiple sections and levels. Purchase orders, job activity, sales orders, and invoicing for jobs are attached to a project to update the contract or project in real-time while querying screens, and reports show up-to-date actual and committed costs, realized and projected profit at any level of the job hierarchy.

Product Recall

SYSPRO Product Recall allows you to perform a full product recall quickly and efficiently. It is a full traceability system developed to support an organization’s Recall Management System, particularly in heavily regulated industries.

The capability gives instant access to all of the critical information required to track a suspicious product, throughout the value chain. It supplies the necessary information to identify, isolate, and action the activities that need to occur within the predetermined recall time limit. In addition, it provides the ability to regularly test the system through Mock Recalls.

Job Nesting

Job nesting is a capability designed to support customers who typically manufacture materials using machine-specific nesting software – integrating directly into SYSPRO to provide the ability to nest multiple jobs utilizing the same raw material or components.

It manages the complexity associated with allocating a number of jobs to a specific raw material to maximize output and reduce waste. Additionally, it assists in recording and accounting for the efficiencies gained or lost and the scrap or usage of that raw material. 

By nesting multiple jobs utilizing the same raw material or components in SYSPRO’s Job Nesting capability, you can maximize output and reduce wastage to improve costing efficiency – enabling you to quote more competitively
