Empowering Efficient Production Management
The Enapps Manufacturing Module streamlines and optimises manufacturing processes for SMEs. Fully integrated with the Enapps ERP system, it offers advanced features like shop floor data capture, mobile device operation, capacity planning, and real-time stock accounting. By unifying production management with sales, purchasing, and HR, it enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and drives productivity across all manufacturing areas.
Manufacturing Module Key Benefits
Advanced Shop Floor Data Capture
Track labour and machine time precisely using barcode scanning and mobile devices. Capture start and stop times for specific jobs, providing real-time visibility into production. This enhances cost accuracy, identifies bottlenecks, and drives continuous improvement.
Material Requirements Planning
Efficiently manage sales and stock demand with detailed BOMs. Consider stock levels, minimum order quantities, supplier lead times, and more to generate manufacturing and purchase order suggestions. This ensures smooth production, optimised inventory, and efficient resource use.
Scheduling & Capacity Planning
Use visual tools like Gantt charts, calendars, and Kanban boards for flexible scheduling and resource allocation. Adjust manufacturing orders through drag-and-drop functionality to resolve conflicts and align with capacity. HR integration factors in employee skills, availability, and holidays.
Work in Progress Tracking
Track Work in Progress (WIP) and real-time stock accounting accurately. Stock levels and valuations update automatically during production, providing clear visibility into material consumption and costs. This supports efficient inventory management and accurate financial reporting.
