Work in Progress WIP

• Collect operational data in realtime including data from process control and test systems sensors scales and other sources of data
• Collect activitybased cost data in realtime so cost overruns on jobs can be spotted quickly and action taken before other customer orders are impacted including labor time data and allocated vs actual time comparisons
• Label product packaging containers automatically and in realtime to comply with each customers specific requirements and prevent rejections or penalties due to mislabeling
• See production problems easily as they occur and take immediate corrective action
• Provide information to customers about the realtime status of their orders through webportals or mobile devices
• Exchange data between systems automatically so information is shared between departments as soon as it is available or approved for releaseincluding data between ERP Accounting CRM ECommerce EDI shippingtransport customer supplier and third party logistics systems
• Provide realtime alerts and warnings when mistakes have beenor are about to bemade
• Collect traceability data of materials so the source of any defects can be determined quickly and corrective action taken before resulting in a major recallincluding process data needed by manufacturing engineers to determine probable cause and effect
• Make operational status available in realtime including customer orders jobs inventory workinprocess receipts and shipments

Track Materials In Real Time For Immediate Visibility

ï

• Track depletion of floor stock based on backflushing from each operation
• Track quality control status of raw materials WIP and finished goods
• Track raw materials returned to inventory from jobs
• Capture materials traceability and defectprevention data
• Track by lot and serial numbers including which materials went into each unit or batch
• Implement error detection and mistake prevention including the use of wrong or defective materials
• Track the materials picked for jobs and workorders
• Track the consumption of materials on jobs
• Track work as it flows from production to finished goods
• Track scrap and rework plus secondary materials produced by operations
• 
  
• WorkinProcess software supports RFID
• By implementing an RFID solution manufacturers can automate the tracking of materials and finished goods with greater efficiency compared to manually scanning barcodes
