WOODPRO is designed to fulfill the unique requirements of the lumber and building products industry for both hardwood and softwood. The system addresses the complex production processes, warehousing and logistical services that secondary manufacturers engage in to ensure demands are met.
Enhance Customer Relations: Service levels will be enhanced as throughput becomes predictable and due dates are more reliable, work-in-progress is reduced, and better utilization of resources as hidden capacity is uncovered.
User-Defined Inventory Policy: Essential information regarding production lead time, vendor lead-time, preferred vendor, reorder point, batching mode, and safety levels that affect inventory can be defined according to manufacturing branch or location
Routing and Shop Floor Control: Track production through Resource Centers at various levels of granularity. Support for Work Orders and Repetitive (Work Orderless) manufacturing environments using transactions and/or Production Performance Metrics is available. Track indirect activities such as down-time, changeovers, and miscellaneous feedback.
Production Transaction Costing: Information can be rationalized as rules-based accounting and costing formulas can be assigned as items move in and out of inventory.
Make to Order Environment: Costs (either through Quick Reman or Full Work Order back-to-back support) can be tied directly to a Sales Order rather than going through inventory.
Data Collection and Bar Coding: Data can be updated electronically from tally machines or handheld data collection devices. Not only does this save time, but errors are also minimized.
Automatic Conversion: Lumber (including logs) in pieces, board feet, square feet, metric, package sizes, tags, tallies, random length, random width, etc., are converted from one unit to another.
Bill of Materials: Reliable standard and multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM) can be used to manage and streamline manufacturing processes. BOM supports Phantom Assemblies and Production Back-Flushing by automatically calculating the costs to finished manufactured products, and the components they were manufactured from.
Advanced Planning & Scheduling: Firms of any size can benefit from more realistic plans. Real-time answers are provided through multi-level explosion inquiry and reporting. Graphical Planning Board can be used to capture production environments graphically and enhance visibility. Finite Capacity Scheduling helps you synchronize demand with capacity from your production floor.
Detailed Forecasting: Supply & Demand forecasting for future material needs for different categories can be grouped by any time-frame for either a summary or detailed formats.
