Features:
Manage research and development
- Control quality with multi-level formula management of intermediates and products, including co-products and by-products
- Maintain revision history for audit reporting
- Protect your designs with highly granular security controls
- Accurately track total costs of intermediate and finished goods
Accommodate variable end-products
Accommodate variable end-products which result from regrading and unpredictable chemical processes
- Easily cost and capture the receipt of multiple products of varying grades from jobs originally planned for single-grade items using SYSPRO’s co-products and manufacturing inspection functionality
- The increasing use of common components in large numbers of products causes recalls to spread across several manufacturers with some problems not becoming apparent until the goods have been sold to the mass market.
- Traceability is especially challenging because problems can occur at any point along your supply chain, from R&D through materials handling to assembly and shipping. Broken or slow processes can be particularly costly – and even lethal.
- SYSPRO Traceability offers full visibility throughout the value chain to ensure quality and continued compliance with regulatory requirements. It provides the ability to trace, identify, isolate, report, quarantine and place affected products on hold quickly and with minimum disruption.
Comply with safety regulations
- Comply with local and international environmental and safety regulations
- Improve your capability to demonstrate compliance in your core processes, as well as implement a variety of control measures for stringent record-keeping to suit the level of vigilance required
- SYSPRO’s flexible features and integrated nature ensure rapid access to centralized compliance information across your business
Manage product and raw material traceability
- Constant innovation is one of the key factors to remaining competitive, and on-going research and development to design new and better products is integral to the industry. Your ability to design new products and modify existing designs, as well as improve time-to-market is critical to remaining competitive and profitable.
- SYSPRO’s ECC, Bill of Materials, Work-in-Progress and Factory Documentation modules enable you to implement controls to ensure that your products are manufactured under consistent processes, to the correct designs and specifications. Single-level, multi-level, co and by-product bills are all catered for and flexible bill definitions accommodate complex component and sub-assembly requirements.
