OptiPro ERP Software Feature
 
OptiPro uses state-of-the-art production and inventory control techniques. While keeping track of requirements and open orders, it provides immediate visibility into what is in inventory and what is not, allowing management to plan inventories and manufacturing operations to satisfy current and future needs.
 
OptiPro provides access to vital information everywhere in the organization using the following key features:
 
  • Purchasing
  • Inventory
  • Serial/Lot
  • Sales
  • Bill of Materials
  • ECN – Engineering Change Notes
  • Routing
  • Shop Floor Control
  • MPS – Master Production Scheduling
  • MRP – Materials Requirements Planning
  • Purchase Requisitions
  • Sales Configuration
  •  
    Purchasing supports the entire materials sourcing process, from securing quotations with an optional approvals hierarchy and vendor contracts management, through multiple methods of purchase order generation, to receiving and issuing vouchers for incoming receipts. The purchase order process simplifies item and vendor selection, reducing costly errors and increasing productivity while providing the information required to make intelligent decisions.
     
    Inventory Management provides the controls and confidence necessary to manage your business with optimal inventory levels. Five different valuation methods, namely, Weighted Average, Standard, FIFO, LIFO, Lot Cost (Actual Cost), are simultaneously maintained. OptiPro provides what is rare in manufacturing systems: real-time and immediate update of both quantities and costs for a true perpetual inventory management system.
     
    Full inventory or Cycle counting options coupled with detailed reporting down to transaction levels extends the physical counting from an obligatory task to identification and elimination of material shortage causes.
    Comprehensive categorization, configurable lot-tracking and multiple order methods allow for precise control of inventory levels.
     
    Serial/Lot tracking offers the choice – at individual item level – of tracking your purchased or manufactured items individually by Serial Number, or as a manufactured batch of items by Lot Number. Instantly track forwards and backwards to identify where each tracked component has been used, or which components made up your final product.
     
    Customer Services are well-served by a Sales Order module that provides tremendous versatility, control and power over sales and order entry policies. Sales Order Entry gives immediate access to a wealth of information, from customer order history and current balances, to up-to-the-minute inventory data and current production information. Enter orders by by customer favorites, even the customer's own SKU number. Control discounting with Sales Contracts, multiple Price Matrices and Promotional Pricing. Transfer sales orders direct to production batches for instant "make-to-order", and transfer inventory between warehouses within the sales order entry screen to meet fulfillment needs
     
    Bill of Materials allows for unlimited levels of nested BOMs with a full visual BOM explosion facility. OptiPro caters to three types of BOMs: Modular, Phantom and Revision. Bottom-up standard costing gives immediate visibility of true production costs.
     
    Engineering Change Notes (ECN) ensures that all changes to BOMs are controlled and authenticated. Multiple Approval Groups are supported, each giving multiple-level approval routings. ECN is optional.
     
    Routing is powerful, sophisticated and comprehensive. It sets up workcenters and assigns an unlimited number of machines to each, thus managing costs at machine level. Employees can be assigned to shifts, which in turn can be plant-wide or for a specific workcenter. Routing schedules an employees work for up to 3 months at a glance. It allows assignment of all time components such as Wait, Move and Run.
     
    Shop Floor Control provides a powerful and flexible set of features for controlling production activity:
  • Plan manufacturing orders.
  • Perform quality inspections.
  • Track Labor transactions.
  • Track manufacturing order costs.
  • Fulfil Sales Orders.
  •  
    Master Production Scheduling (MPS) provides the capability to ensure the best possible manufacturing scenario as it allows you to analyse the effects of alternate scenarios using either current or simulated data.
  • Efficiently plan purchase and production orders at the Finished Product level.
  • Produce cross-requirements for MRP.
  • Flexible demand definitions.
  • Multiple forecasts.
  • Multiple, user-definable Planning Calendars.
  • Comprehensive Planning Worksheet.
  •  
    Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Subsequent demand for Sub-Assembly production orders and material purchases flow seamlessly through to the Material Requirements Planning module from the MPS module. Group processing of MRP-generated orders speeds the workflow throughout the organization.
     
    Purchase Requisitions provides a complete system for identifying, managing, tracking and controlling your purchases. It incorporates a comprehensive approvals methodology and enhances the purchasing function.
     
    Sales Configuration lets you drive Sales Orders by specific customer needs. Reconfigure modular items within the Sales Order process and directly create production orders reflecting the changes. Alternate Items feature allows for simplified changes to parent modular BOMs.
