 FactoryMasterFactoryMaster is a cost-effective manufacturing software solution that can
help organizations use the latest technology in the planning and day-to-day
operation of commercial and production processes, covering all aspects of the
business in one package.
With specialist knowlege in many divisions of manufacturing, FactoryMaster
has built a complete modular system that addresses all of the issues facing
manufacturing organizations in today's marketplace. As FactoryMaster adds all
new functionality requested by customers to the existing package, it has the
advantage of offering one package to all customers, as well as an upgrade path
for customers who choose to take maintenance and support.
For the aerospace industry, FactoryMaster provides seamless interfaces to
most of the major aerospace players (including Exostar, Rolls Royce, and
Airbus). These interfaces allow FactoryMaster to take direct feeds of sales
order schedules and, within minutes, run a material resources planning (MRP)
system to forecast and plan all materials and assembly requirements to fulfill
these orders. This gives an immediate response to new orders, and ensures that
users can get an instant view of where issues concerning delivery timescales may
occur. The solution also provides materials traceability, which gives customers
full confidence that they can identify the source for any product that they
sell.
For the automotive industry, FactoryMaster has built-in materials
traceability so users can instantly see what went into each part and where it
came from. This is essential for any organization that wishes to offer a quality
service for its products. The system also has interfaces that allow data feeds
into and out of the system, which eliminates re-keying and also speeds up the
time needed to get information processed. Customers can then use these data
feeds to do just-in-time production on daily orders. FactoryMaster has excellent
control mechanisms built in that allow a quality plan to be fully implemented
and tracked. An example of this is the drawing change control mechanism. All
drawings are tracked by version numbers and so if a drawing changes, the user
can instantly see the impact it will have on all aspects of the system, from
quotes to work in progress. By allowing FactoryMaster users to track customer
part numbers as well as their own internal part numbers, Factorymaster can
instantly react to part number changes without impacting the work that is in
progress.
FactoryMaster also offers functionality for electronics manufacturers. The
system allows very large bills of material (BOMs), as well as sub-assemblies as
part of this. This allows flexibility in the way systems are constructed with
the use of third-party supplier parts being added into the bills of material.
There are also functionalities that allow users to add extra information into
the BOMs, such as circuit references. Traceability of the components is also an
integral aspect, which gives an ideal trace for warranty claims and supplier
rejects. With superior stock control using minimum or maximum stock levels,
customers can have full confidence that components will always be available. To
back this up, the solution provides the MRP capability that can give users all
the recommendations regarding what needs to be ordered and when it needs to be
ordered, to fulfil any outstanding requirements.

Ramco Enterprise Series - Discrete ManufacturingThe Ramco Discrete Production (DP) application is a
manufacturing, planning, and control solution. Ramco DP was designed to address
enterprise manufacturing requirements, ranging from production planning to
scheduling and execution. It addresses the made-to-stock and made-to-order
manufacturing environments, with the ability to handle ordinary
configure-to-order requirements.
While most organizations can benefit from DP
applications, those enterprises with multiple manufacturing locations can
benefit the most. This is because manufacturing planners in these enterprises
can elect to have any of the following planning and execution models:
centralized planning, with execution at respective locations; decentralized
planning and execution at each manufacturing location; and mixed mode, where
high level planning is done centrally and then devolved to the locations for
further planning and execution. Ramco DP allows users to define processes in a flexible
manner, in order to enable them to adapt to current or changed manufacturing
management practices. The planning hierarchy can be changed to suit industry and
organisational needs, without compromising on security issues. Its concept of
"layered planning" enables flexible planning for any component in the bill of
materials, at any time during the planning process.
The DP application group is made up of three individual
applications: Production Definition, Planning and Execution, and Engineering
Change Control.
