Material Manager

Material Manager extends the capabilitites of Setup Manager and Work-In-Progress Manager to provide off-line material control. By linking the data already collected by Setup Manager and WIP Manager, Material Manager provides the perfect support for ERP/MRP visibility into the shop floor.

Material Manager provides the following functionality:

• Enable unique Reel IDs to be defined manually (usually performed as Goods In operation). Alternatively, interface with external system to receive pre-defined Reel details (from in-house Inventory Management system for example).
• Store reel movements to material storage locations (e.g. racks, bins, trolleys, etc).
• Support issuing reels to production.
• Support receiving reels back from production.
• Support manually modifying reels (i.e. adding and removing quantities).
• Support quarantining reels by Reel ID, Vendor ID, Lot Number or Part Number.
• Support "Pick List" generation based on:

  • Currently running programs and current on-line material levels.
  • Future programs and current on-line material levels.
