Stainless Design Limited

The Solution:
The Manufacturing System was employed to integrate with the existing financial system. Customised reports were designed to show how their work is organised. The demand and supply analysis modules were incorporated to assist with organising work and allocating outwork.
Specifically, demand analysis is used to produce recommendations for required production runs. Customer demands can be linked to production runs, and work can then be organised to inventory as well as to order.
The supply analysis module helps Stainless Design manage their outwork planning process. It analyses inventory stock levels, open purchase orders, lead times and components required to produce reports that specify what outwork is required. The Manufacturing System’s interaction with the supply process of the accounting system means the delivery of the outwork can be issued to the appropriate production run.
Stainless Design’s need for the ability to quote clients for customisation of standard Bills of Materials was easily met by the Manufacturing System’s flexible BOM structure. It also means that once the quote is accepted, the job can be scheduled and linked to a sales order that has been raised in the accounting system.
