Epicor's Manufacturing Solutions: For Control Instruments

To succeed in the control instrument industry, manufacturers need to solve some difficult challenges.  The projects they work on are extremely complex, requiring long lead times and relying on a vast network of international suppliers and subcontractors.  However, the technology these manufacturers develop changes so rapidly that they can't afford to waste any time getting their products built and shipped.  Fortunately, Epicor's manufacturing solutions provide control instruments manufacturers' the information they need to innovate-efficiently.

Epicor for Control Instruments: A Quick Guide

• Sophisticated product configurator module enables you to manage the complex part structures that comprise nearly every type of control instrument.  You can configure parts during the quote or order process, and generate multi-level bill of materials for even the most intricate assemblies. 
• Currency Management and other globalization tools make it easy for you to manage international suppliers and customers-especially important in your industry-where the companies that'll be leading tomorrow are those that are developing international relationships today.
• Quality Assurance tools help you conform to the tight tolerances your products demand and your customers require.  For example, say you're manufacturing parts for a precision optical device--you can't tolerate even the slightest variation from spec.  Epicor's Quality Assurance tools let shop floor employees immediately move non-conforming parts out of production into inspection queues, where inspectors can create DMRs and the MRB can take appropriate action.
• Advanced inventory management functions support serialization and precise part-number tracking. 
• Integrated, Web-based information-sharing functions enables you to collaborate with suppliers and customers across the globe.  For instance, online customer service tools give your customers and suppliers real-time access to order, shipment, and payment data. 
• Reports and tracking tools let you check the status of all your jobs at any point from quote through closing. 
• Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliance lets you export data to a variety of other applications, helping you integrate your business with customers and other suppliers in complex supply chains.
