This is ensured through time-phased material planning. If your routing sequence is deep enough, you will have the freedom to place orders based only on shop floor requirements. After all, if the lead time is only a few weeks and there is no financial basis for early stocking, why order today what the floor needs in 6 months?
Whether you engineer-to-order, make-to-order, make-to-stock, predict, or a combination of these, plan to purchase for various demand sources. The Proton Inventory module gives discrete manufacturers the tools they need to manage inventory and take control.
Once you've identified your needs, take action. Easily. A dashboard view of requirements, vendor lead times, alternative vendors, and alternative part numbers are available in our ERP. Order the bare minimum or benefit from EOQ (Economic Order Quantity). Everything is available to you right away.
Multiple locations, bin management, bin reservations, multiple units of measure, stocking, selling, and purchasing assistance, as well as conversions for these, are advanced capabilities.
The functionality of inventory management records and tracks the consumption of all ingredients and raw materials throughout the whole manufacturing process, from the receipt of items to the finished product, including sales orders, purchase orders, and invoicing management.
Every needed raw material ingredient, along with the warehouse where it is stored, is listed. All manufactured goods are marked as held until the final QC analysis is finished and the QC Release is approved before being dispatched.
Purchasing must be informed whenever inventory is used from the warehouse, distributed, or moved in any way. Movements are easily recorded when there is a reason to (intended).
Flexibility is also crucial. Need not keep track of each bolt? When a job or a sequence ends, backflush. Jobs only last a few hours? Pull items manually or by scanning at the end of the job. How long do jobs take? Draw material as it is used. You can track both serial numbers and lots.
Possibly the biggest benefit of an inventory management system is automation. Automation avoids the risk of human error, saves you endless hours, and ensures you don't make mistakes. It is a system that is capable of performing repetitive tasks with little human assistance once a set of rules has been established. Automated inventory management also gives you real-time visibility of where your stock is, which is especially essential if you store stock in multiple locations such as warehouses and physical stores, or with more than one sales channel.
