When choosing an ERP system, manufacturers are faced with a difficult dilemma. Too often they have to choose a solution that has strong manufacturing functionality at the expense of general business functionality, forcing them to purchase and integrate separate systems.
You do not have to sacrifice simplicity for functionality if you choose Axapta. It offers the full range of functionality that you need in an ERP system - including deep manufacturing.
Greater Control
Axapta gives you greater control over manufacturing and production processes. You can measure very specific costs associated with employees, machinery and products at any time, allowing you to manage costs better and identify new possibilities faster.
Better Planning
Finite and infinite capacity and materials planning helps you project long-term needs and foresee fluctuations in demand so you can adjust your plans accordingly. You can manage your shop floor more effectively by reducing manual data entry and web-enabling employee information such as time registration and payroll. By collecting and analyzing production-related information such as work hours and production activities, you can improve cost control.
Gantt charts provide a graphical illustration of schedules so that you can plan, coordinate, and track specific tasks related to a project. Using Gantt charts, you can, for example, assess the consequences of staff rotations visually, with the graphic tool. You can define your Gantt plans and envision the production flow from one machine to another.
Simplified Configuration
Using the online configurator, products can be generated with greater precision. At the same time, you can open your system up to customers and vendors so that they can configure their own products, submit orders, and see expected delivery dates over the Internet. The full graphical suite, including version control, helps you design and maintain Bills of Material.
