Powered by Microsoft SQL Server Database
Built upon OpenText Team Developer, OpenText TD Mobile, Microsoft .NET, and integrated with Microsoft Office, Infor VISUAL ERP takes advantage of the very latest technology.
We’re taking advantage of the new features such as drill down capabilities, dashboards, shop floor mobile, document maintenance, and document lifecycle. We like having the ability to click within a specific area of our process and being able to drill down to the customer order to the work order to the purchase order all the way down to extreme details. We’re looking forward to even more features and going to browser-based.
With Infor ERP, it’s like knowing the batting averages of every department in the plant. If you look at the data, pay attention to it, and use those tools to make decisions, your business runs better.
The software actually proved instrumental in breaking down the old culture. People began to take note of the information that was available to help them make better decisions. We wouldn’t have been able to move the company forward without it.
We can actually respond to our customers in a timely manner. They are much, much happier with us ever since we went to Infor ERP.
Core Functionality & Highlights
VISUAL-ly Represent your BOM & Work Order Status
The Manufacturing Window graphically represents the build structure of your product. Whether designing a new product, quoting a new job, or sending a job to the floor, the build definition it creates is the catalyst for accurate material planning, cost accounting, and production scheduling. You’ll have insight into delivery and cost performance for your customers’ orders.
- See a complete multi-level view of all operations and materials required to complete a job
- Real time job status – easily see exactly where the job is on the shop floor
- View up-to-date actual costs with projected job costs, highlighting all negative variances
- Drill down to all levels of production and cost details
- Perform “what-if” capacity and material checks for determining potential new order delivery dates
- Quickly ensure you have all the material needed to complete a work order (and others) with one-click drill down
Dispatch List & Manufacturing Execution at Your Fingertips
Infor VISUAL ShopFloor’s mobile scheduling dispatch feature provides direct access to all shop floor activities. Production foremen will have a real time view into available capacity, backlog, and the status of individual work orders or resources. Infor VISUAL Scheduler enables Machine operators to know what to work on next and where to locate the material to begin the job.
- Setup status boards around the plant showing current workload within a work cell
- Allow foremen to drag and drop jobs based on priority in real time
- View all drawings, work instructions, and attachments associated with a work order
- Determine where in the shop to find the material required to begin an operation
- Single click start and stop job for quick adoption and less shop floor waste
- Start multiple jobs at once and prorate them accurately
Increase Customer Satisfaction & Delivery Performance
The Concurrent Scheduling feature includes two powerful tools — the Global Scheduler and the Scheduling Window. Together, they ensure the most efficient use of your materials and resources and provide the information you need to deliver your product on time. By working a schedule that maximizes throughput and positively impacts customer deliveries, you’ll increase profit.
- Verify material availability along with capacity
- Calculate and display critical path and determinant path timelines
- Run “what-if” scenarios to determine the effects of changes in capacity, load, or timing.
