Unified Features

Core functionality that works seamlessly across all steel manufacturing industries

01
Multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM)

Create and manage complex multi-level product structures with unlimited levels, support for assemblies, sub-assemblies, and raw materials. Handle parent-child relationships, quantity calculations, and nested BOM structures for complex steel products.

02
Routing & Operations Management

Define detailed manufacturing routes with sequence of operations, setup times, run times, and resource requirements. Manage operation dependencies, parallel operations, and alternative routing paths for flexible production planning.

03
Work Center & Machine Assignment

Maintain comprehensive work center and machine master data with capacity definitions, efficiency factors, and availability calendars. Assign operations to specific machines and track machine utilization and performance.

04
MOP (Method of Production) Structures

Define multiple methods of production for the same product, allowing flexibility in manufacturing processes. Support for alternative production methods, cost comparison, and selection based on availability or cost optimization.

05
Product Variants & Configurations

Manage product variants with different specifications, dimensions, grades, or configurations. Support for configurable products with variant rules, pricing variations, and inventory tracking by variant.

06
Effectivity Dates & Change Management

Control BOM and routing changes with effectivity dates, ensuring smooth transitions between old and new versions. Track engineering change orders (ECOs) and manage change approvals with complete audit trail.

07
BOM Revision Control

Maintain complete revision history of BOMs with version control, compare different revisions, and track changes over time. Support for revision-based costing and production planning.

08
Attachment & Version Control

Attach drawings, specifications, certificates, and other documents to products, BOMs, and routings. Maintain version control for documents with check-in/check-out functionality and approval workflows.

09
Cost Roll-up Calculations

Automatically calculate product costs by rolling up material costs, labor costs, and overheads through multi-level BOMs. Support for standard costing, actual costing, and cost variance analysis.
