Microsoft Dynamics 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 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 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 based solutions, 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 solutions 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, Microsoft Dynamics solution
support 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 Microsoft Dynamics
solutions, 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.
