Jobshop Inventory Control

This key element within Jobshop incorporates the complete range of materials management functionality, to ensure the right material is available at the right time to fully meet users’ production programmes.

It contains the system’s core database, along with hot links to other Jobshop modules, to provide up-to-the-moment data on all items, assemblies and raw material.

Jobshop incorporates complete ‘cradle to grave’ parts issue control. Default links at each stage in the manufacturing process ensure full traceability from sales order to invoice; plus the ability to accommodate scheduled ‘running changes’ if necessary. In addition Certificate of Conformity documentation can be produced without administrative overhead.

Complete multi-store location management, with row and bin identification, are provided as standard, along with quarantine and consignment stock location functionality. In addition advanced database search capabilities ensure fast, effective parts identification and control, with up to 25 character part numbers, two 25 character description fields, plus ample additional space for descriptive text.

Stock count management allows continuous optimisation of inventory levels. In addition,
Jobshop continually balances the supply and demand of products and materials to ensure that variances, rejects or deviations are instantly highlighted for action. All inventory transactions are logged automatically, enabling simple and effective interrogation of stock movements at any time.

On-line supply and demand enquiries – with full ‘drill down’ capabilities - enable the status of every item to be determined quickly and accurately.

Flat, or up to 20 level BOMs are accommodated; without any restriction on the number of items. BOMs are presented graphically using familiar ‘Explorer-type’ tree structures.

Trial kitting capabilities enable potential shortages to be identified and the maximum potential yield from existing stock or individual batches to be determined.

A comprehensive range of standard and user-definable reports ensures complete materials management control. Analyses include:

• Shortage reports
• stock valuations
• redundant stock
• supply versus demand
• trial kitting results
• re-order reports

Jobshop also fully supports barcode data entry, along with automatic production of barcode labels and documentation.
