The Opera II Bill of Materials module has an intuitive
interface. Whether it's a simple or complex assembly
structure these can be quickly and easily defined from
stock components - raw materials, labour and description
only items and any specialist documentation, such as
technical drawings, can also be attached to each structure.
Take Control of Manufacturing Requirements
Opera II Bill of Materials takes full control of the
manufacturing requirements. Before starting the manufacturing
process a trial build can be performed. This calculates
whether there are enough stock components to complete
the required quantity of the final assembly, and identifies
any shortfalls. It also caters for the substitution of
components on a works order and can adjust the quantity
to build accordingly.
As the manufacturing process begins with the works order,
the stock can be automatically allocated and issued and,
when the works order is completed, the finished assembly
can be updated with the build quantity. Alternatively,
there is the flexibility to elect to operate these processes
separately. The Bill of Materials kitting function gives
further flexibility by enabling works orders to be raised
and receive the build quantity of the finished assembly
into stock in a single process.
Reporting and Enquiring Facilities
The Bill of Materials module provides fast and accurate
manufacturing information and locating a particular batch/serial
item used on a works order is easily achieved using the
Traceable View function.
