ERP solutions for the manufacturing industry
To meet the needs
of the manufacturing industry, SSYH recommends
a Microsoft
Dynamics NAV solution, paired with job management
applications from Cost
Control Software.
Microsoft
Dynamics NAV Solutions for Manufacturing
Manufacturing is still
a major engine in today's economy. The fundamental
success factors in this industry remain constant:
produce the right products - in the right quantities,
at the right time, with good quality, and at
a set price the customer is willing to pay.
However, flexibility and continuous improvements
are also imperative.
Success includes
the flexibility to respond to emerging markets,
such as today's growth opportunities in China
and Eastern Europe, and the ever-changing needs
of the customers. Capitalizing on these opportunities
and demands involves quickly adapting to new
approaches, trading partners, and procurement
strategies.
SSYH offers
integrated, adaptable business applications
based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV for small and
medium-sized organizations and divisions of
large enterprises. These integrated solutions
work like and with familiar Microsoft software
and help automate and improve financial, customer
relationship, and supply chain management.
With SSYH's
Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, your manufacturing
organization can:
- Integrate communication
and collaboration. Synchronize communication
between engineering, manufacturing, and subcontractors.
For example, if engineering makes design changes,
operations can know the details immediately.
To ensure the increased agility in engineering
is supported by your subcontractors, your
communication solution needs to integrate
with your enterprise resource planning (ERP)
system. Product data management and integration
between computer-aided design (CAD) and Microsoft
Dynamics solutions have helped customers improve
product design. Engineers can get an overview
or reported errors in drawings, and manufacturing
can confirm the latest design is being produced.
Business portals let you share information
within your systems through the Web to the
right people at the right time to keep your
business moving forward and your customers
happy.
- Deliver outstanding customer
service. Landing a contract or making
the sale isn't enough. You need to provide
outstanding after-sales service to ensure
customer loyalty. With Microsoft Dynamics
solutions, you can track a project from design
through "as-built" configuration.
The bottom line: Your service personnel will
be able to deliver the right parts - a critical
first step towards effective preventive maintenance.
Microsoft
Dynamics CRM gives you access to deep
customer knowledge based on past experiences,
helping you identify and meet or exceed your
service-level agreements (SLAs) and contract
requirements.
- Provide accurate estimating
and quoting. You can efficiently align
customer requirements with your capabilities
by maintaining a standardized product line
and using your previous experience with a
customer to suggest the most effective equipment.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV can help you plan for
standard components, thereby reducing lead
time. In many cases the subsequent discovery
of omissions or mistakes poses the biggest
challenge; Microsoft Dynamics CRM can help
you record customer requirements accurately
and reuse the information in future quotes.
- Deliver flexible product
planning. Production planners often struggle
with keeping each job separate and visible
in order to match specific customer requirements
with resources. When production-runs encounter
problems, planning or engineering needs to
change the process. But in many cases, these
changes are lost in aggregate production activities
and data. To help you respond effectively,
the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution supports
manufacturing modes such as engineer-to-order,
make-to-order, make-to-stock, or mixed/hybrid
modes. You decide and define your best practices
and how you want the planning system to execute.
Additionally, wireless technology can help
increase the capability and flexibility of
your plan and workers.
- Efficiently manage products.
Good project management accounts for resources
such as materials, capacity, engineers, service
personnel, critical paths, and slack time,
helping you deliver on time. It also helps
you identify the completion state of tasks
and provides you an overview status of the
project. With the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution,
you can set budgets, manage billing, review
current costs, and track activities and resources
related to a project at many levels of detail.
You can also leverage knowledge and content
from existing or prior projects to improve
your processes and avoid mistakes.

Many are unable to track labor, not to mention

each of their jobs cost, or whether their jobs
are profitable. The problem is often caused

which results in “islands of data”
requiring redundant data entry which is time
consuming and leads to errors.
