PRODUCTION ACTIVITY CONTROL (PAC)
Production Activity Control modules are delivered embedded in the concurrent licensing model for the R4 ERP. Working with inventory management and manufacturing design, the production activity control module (PAC) tracks manufacturing activities from issuance of work orders to completion of jobs. It encompasses shop floor control, job costing, and labor performance functions. Work orders could be manually launched, triggered by make to order environments, or created by MRP, DRP or MPS planned orders.Work orders could be created using the standards established in the manufacturing design module and print them to provide accurate documentation on the shop floor while simplifying paper flow. Track costs by entering time and materials on a job by job basis; variance from standards are measured for material rate and efficiency, labor rate and efficiency and applied burden. The PAC module can help a company achieve the following:Improved productivity.
Improved quality.
Improved customer satisfaction.
Improved inventory control.
Improved costing.
PAC SYSTEM BENEFITS
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
IMPROVE QUALITY
IMPROVE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
IMPROVE INVENTORY CONTROL.
Materials are allocated to work orders, to reflect the proper stock status. Know the current status in each warehouse.
IMPROVE COST CONTROL
Establish your estimated costs on a job by job basis or define them using the bill of materials module. Track actual costs automatically from the entry of time and materials transactions. See up to date costing and job status information for any or all open jobs. Analyze the variance due to over/under utilization, waste, or price differences for both materials and labor. Analyze by product line or department to verify that objectives are met.
ANALYZE VARIANCES
Analyze variances due to over/under utilization, waste or price differences for both materials and labor.
STREAMLINE DATA ENTRY
A training database allows you to experiment and learn without affecting company data. Standard default values make data entry quick while limiting errors. Complete audit trails by operator encourage quality input. Routine functions can be stacked, thus reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. Bill of material and routing information can be automatically copied into a work order. Work orders can be automatically generated from the master plan. Interface with other software modules, such as inventory management, bill of materials, production planning, and payroll.
