- Accommodate variable end-products which result from regrading and
unpredictable chemical processes
Using SYSPRO's co-products and manufacturing inspection functionality,
you can easily cost and capture the receipt of multiple products of varying
grades from jobs originally planned for single-grade items.
You can choose to apportion costs between components and co-products
according to a percentage breakdown for the entire material, operation and sub
contract costs, or you can define percentages against specific operations and
materials.
SYSPRO's Work in Progress inspection system gives you the tools to
record the inspection details of manufactured items and, depending on the
results, select to receipt, scrap or rework quantities. Units in inspection are
visible, but unavailable for use until accepted into stock. Within the
inspection function, you can capture detailed records of counts, inspection,
scrap, rework and stock receipts.
You can receipt inspection items as the original product to
manufacture on the job, or as a different product or products, which is useful
for end products of variable grade. Also, you can receipt items into a
warehouse different than what was originally planned.
- Comply with part replacement regulations
The part replacement regulations of the industry necessitate that
suppliers keep historical data on the details of product revisions sold to
customers. SYSPRO's traceability functionality provides direct identification
by lot or serial number, while SYSPRO's detailed sales and inventory history
and user-friendly query and reports enable you to quickly identify what
versions of a part have been sold to a customer and when.
The Engineering Change Control system enables ready access to prior
product versions, as well as the capability to quickly revert to these versions
for production purposes. Expiry dates on sold lot traceable parts can be easily
extracted for the creation of replacement reminders to customers. Additionally
expiry dates facilitate the creation of forecasts for production planning
purposes, thereby helping to reduce the need to hold excess inventory in order
to maintain customer service levels.
- Document and track product and process control
SYSPRO's Engineering Change Control system enables
you to implement the workflow and controls necessary to track changes to your
products in terms of constituent materials and processes, as well as to
automate enforcement of the necessary operational data controls during change
activities. The user-defined workflow sub-system along with its audit trails
and archives provides access to prior product versions and traceability of
changes made.
General task-based business processes performed by single users can be
controlled using SYSPRO's Task and SYSPRO's Event managers. For those
businesses requiring more sophisticated rules-based workflow system for
processes that invoice multiple users, SYSPRO's e.net solutions enables
seamless integration to best-of-breed Business Process Management (BPM)
software.
SYSPRO's Electronic Signatures enhance process control by enabling you
to maintain a detailed transaction log for auditing purposes as well as to
activate triggers for integration to third-party systems or notification via
email. In addition, Electronic Signatures give you the tools to define rules
that govern who is allowed to process specific transactions, under what
conditions, and the detail of output log.
This improves transparency and accountability in business transaction
processing, giving you strict authorization and access control at a granular
level in addition to SYSPRO's general system security.
- Ensure processed-manufactured products are manufactured to spec to
minimize waste
Because products cannot be reduced back to their original state once
in process, the cost of inaccuracy in design and production in the industry is
high. SYSPRO's Engineering Change Control module provides the workflow tools to
manage the product design process, thereby helping you to ensure that new and
redesigned products pass through the relevant testing and approval processes
before release.
In addition, SYSPRO provides flexible definitions for raw material
requirements in the bill of materials. Accuracy in chemical product bills is
facilitated through the option to define the percentage of each raw material
required to make a chemical product. This ensures precision in quantities
required for batches.
Chemical production plants are often highly automated with
sophisticated measuring and testing systems designed to ensure quality of raw
materials and work in progress, as well as high production yields. It is
therefore desirable that any ERP production control and tracking system is able
to integrate seamlessly with this process technology to exchange information
and highlight issues at the relevant points. SYSPRO e.net solutions enables
rapid development of secure and version-independent integration with such
best-of-breed technology.

process

SYSPRO enables you to implement continuous improvement by helping you
to identify problems and points of waste as they happen. Raw materials and
manufactured products in the industry often vary in grade and quality, so
tracking and control is essential to reduce waste, scrap and defects. SYSPRO
enables you to specify approved manufacturers for raw material supplies and
supplier performance can easily be tracked using queries and reports. In
addition, SYSPRO facilitates the tracking of materials from purchase through
production to customer, thereby maximizing quality control and providing you
with the tools to manage product recalls, should they occur.
You can flag purchased items as requiring inspection so that during
receipting, detailed records of counts, inspection, scrap, rejects and returns
is recorded. Units in inspection are visible, but unavailable for use until
accepted into stock. Similarly, SYSPRO's Work in Progress inspection system
provides the tools for you to inspect manufactured product quality and,
depending on the results, select to receipt, scrap or rework quantities.
- Manage product and raw material traceability
Whether a compliance-critical requirement, or an analysis tool for
continuous improvement strategies, the traceability of products from material
origins through manufacture to final destination, is a key system requirement
in many industries.
SYSPRO facilitates the recording of traceability and quality data on
materials and products from purchasing through inspection, manufacturing,
manufacturing inspection, stocking and sales. The recording of expiry and
shelf-life information is also facilitated and powerful queries enable both
upward and downward searches by stock code, lot number and transaction type.
SYSPRO's lot traceability and serial tracking functionality afford
full visibility to the origins, build and customer destination of products and
batches, thereby providing the means to easily trace and analyze the source of
defects, should they occur. In addition, SYSPRO's Engineering Change Control
module enables complete management and traceability of changes to product
designs, while the Return Merchandise Authority module provide consistent
handling of product returns, as well as analysis data for improvement programs.
- Manage product recalls
(PHA043) SYSPRO provides the capability for the secure storage and
fast retrieval of reliable integrated information to enable quick extraction
when a product or batch recall is necessary. Adherence to stringent EU/ MHRA
/FDA/TGA regulations in terms of traceability and recall procedures in
industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, is facilitated
through SYSPRO's lot traceability and serial tracking features. Multimedia
capabilities enable the linking of relevant documentation and graphics to
products and material, while custom forms facilitate the capture of essential
traceability data relevant to your industry.
SYSPRO includes the facilities to trace items from raw material
origins to customer, and vice versa, as well as the ability to identify the
processor of every transaction or data change associated with the item, via
Electronic Signatures. Full upward and downward searches and extraction of the
integrated traceability data is provided by SYSPRO's powerful queries, and
standard or user-defined reports.
Using SYSPRO's powerful traceability features, you can confidently
identify the source of defects and quality issues, and thus limit recalls to
defective product only. This prevents the need for total product recall and the
associated costs and reputation impact.
