By-products / Reclaim / Incorporation: Calculations for by-products and reclaimed items, as secondary outputs, are determined alongside the main product. Recycling of materials into production follows specific predefined limits.
Recipe/BOM Versioning: Effectively manage the evolution of your products with the capability to maintain and control multiple recipe and Bill of Materials versions.
Recipe Comparison Matrix: Strategically assess and compare different recipes to facilitate the development of new versions or alternative products.
Automatic BOM/Routing Link: Effortlessly connect your recipe/BOM with routing to organize production processes and anticipate ingredient requirements.
Tools / Inserts: In both extrusion and injection moulding, tools should be designated for use with specific work centers. Configurations of single-cavity and multi-cavity molds enable a flexible transition from low to high volume production.
Production Variants: Skillfully handle item variations and customize production processes to accommodate varying order sizes without disrupting workflow.
Production Simulation: Preemptively simulate the consumption and output for each production process to forecast results and optimize manufacturing.
Line Text for Instructions: Integrate comprehensive instructions (rich text) directly within the recipes/BOMs and routings to streamline communication and execution.
Overhead Calculation
Advanced Scenario Creation: Design tailored calculation scenarios that cater to your specific requirements, enabling you to make strategic decisions based on individualized data.
Overhead Calculation: Accurately compile direct costs and add charges. Our overhead calculation allows you to summarize and analyze expenses through flexible, user-designed scenarios for a clearer financial overview.
Item / Capacity Calculation Groups: Organize and categorize the costs associated with items / capacity efficiently. This feature helps in breaking down the cost elements, providing clarity and aiding in individualizing calculation scenarios.
Currency-Dependent Calculation: Adjust and recalculate costs dynamically in response to currency fluctuations, ensuring that your financial data remains accurate and relevant in a global market.
Customized Calculation Schedules: Set up calculation schedules that align with your business cycles and reporting needs. Tailor them to match your operational tempo for real-time, actionable insights.
Batch Processing
Manufacturing Dimensions: Benefit from advanced filtering and sorting of production orders by various manufacturing dimensions, enhancing your ability to manage and oversee complex scenarios.
Line Text: Integrate detailed, step-by-step instructions (rich text) directly within the production order to ensure clear communication and adherence to product specifications.
Actual Cost Calculation: Derive precise costings for your products with actual cost calculation capabilities, offering you a true reflection of production expenses for more accurate financial analysis and reporting.
Incorporation: Recycling is mostly done by means of mechanical recycling, where washed and sorted plastic waste is re-molten and processed into a new product.
By-production:
Reclaimed Items:
Tool / Insert: Tools or inserts can be easily moved between work centers, enhancing operational flexibility. The operational time will be recalculated for the individual setting.
Production Rates: Define output quantity for a defined operation period, tailored to scenarios involving multiple machines, tools, and inserts. This feature simplifies planning decisions, making tool or insert replacement effortless. Additionally, specify your mould output with precise control over cavities and shots.
