CMS Shop Floor Control

Benefits

The Shop Floor Control module provides the tracking mechanism that allows reporting of actual events from your production environment. By comparing planned (standard) events to actual events, variances can be identified. This variance reporting delineates inefficiencies and cost overruns in a timely manner, which allows corrective action to occur rapidly. The system provides management control over the material, capacity, costs, and productivity functions that are critical to any manufacturing operation.

Product Summary

The CMS Shop Floor Control module allows you to perform all information management functions related to the production environment. Included are capacity management, job release, material issuance, reporting workcenter movement, reporting completion of production and reconciliation of costs. The Shop Floor Control module is integrated with Production Planning, Workcenter and Routing functions, Sales Order/Demand Management, Bills of Material, Purchasing, Production Costing, G/L, and Inventory. When a demand is planned, CMS creates work order advices for items required to be produced. The Shop Floor Control module allows automatic pick list generation and time-phased picking of components during the kitting process, supporting on-line just-in-time inventory allocation if desired.

Non-stocked parts received through CMS purchasing and receiving functions and outside processing costs can be posted to open Shop Floor jobs. The CMS Data Automation (CDA) system provides real-time information from data automation terminals on your shop floor.
