Here are some of the features of the system which are particularly attractive to our customers who make parts for the automotive industry.

• The system is powerful enough to run a Tier 1 automotive supplier.
• Many of our automotive customers have achieved approval to ISO/TS16949 or QS9000 at their first attempt. The material traceability features of the system always draw admiration from the auditors.
• The system has EDI modules to receive schedules from customers and to create ASNs for despatches to customers.
• The system can be configured to create works orders automatically from a daily schedule received via EDI.
• The system supports open scheduled orders with more than one part per order.
• The system supports open scheduled purchase orders for your suppliers.
• You can scan supplier certificates of conformance into the system.
• The system gives full container level traceability from a stillage of finished parts back through many manufacturing operations to supplier advice notes and certificates of conformance.
• There is a bill of materials for each operation of a works order, so you can accurately schedule requirements of components for assembly operations.
• The system records actual material used on each works order, so stock accuracy is very good, and the material used for scrapped parts is automatically recorded.
• Machine monitoring gives immediate visibility of works order progress. It gives you the information you need to improve your OEE.
• SPC sampling intervals can be based on the count of parts made rather than time intervals. This reduces the number of samples taken without reducing quality.
• The system will produce certificates of conformance automatically which include copies of incoming material certificates and can include SPC data if required by the customer.
• The system will produce carton, stillage and pallet labels to automotive standards such as AIWG and Odette, as well as the requirements of the major automotive customers.
