During our 15 years of upgrades, I have reviewed probably 20 different systems. One thing you can say is they have the ERP and Accounting functions pretty well nailed at this point.</div><div> </div><div>However, one area they are all very weak in is plant mgt, scheduling, machine loading, etc. There are some good programs that do this for job shops. Job Boss is one of the best known. But unless you want to pay a lot of money, plant mgt software for companies that produce their own propritary products is lacking.</div><div> </div><div>This is an area you might want to explore. I'm
giving you a head start. I have a full fp / Web based application that does all this and we use it everyday. We have over 15,000 parts, with over 800 open work orders at any one time. Because of contractual agreements I will not be able to market it until after I retire on 5/1/2014.</div><div> </div><div>If you want to discus any aspect of this you can contact off list at this email address.</div><div> </div><div>Good Luck,</div><div>Rick Hane</div><div>Controller</div><div>Deluxe Stitcher Company Inc</div><div>ISP Stitching Products</div><div><a href="http://www.deluxestitcher.com/">http://www.deluxestitcher.com/</a></div><div> </div></div></body></html>
