Advanced Production
More Effortless Scheduling, Tracking, and Reporting on the Plant Floor
Epicor Kinetic‘s Advanced Production deploys batching technology, enabling users to group multiple parts or operations for key production processes. This batching process results in a single reporting entity or job for simplified scheduling, tracking, and reporting of labor and materials on the plant floor. It is available in Epicor’s job planning and resource scheduling functions, with both planned and “on-the-fly” grouping flexibility to end-users. Users can also select to plan operations sequentially – one operation after another or concurrently – to be complete simultaneously for nested operations.
Epicor Kinetic Advanced Production's Functionality
Support For Co-Product Production
Offers simplified production of co- or dependent products in the same production run.
Support for Nested Product Production
Offers simplified production of nested or products of the same material or process in the same production run.
Integration to nesting software solutions available with Epicor NestLink, a real-time bidirectional, and fully automated nesting job integration to Kinetic.
Part and Operation Batching
Easily link multiple operations from the same part or different parts to be run either sequentially or concurrently.
Visibility of Production Batching
Single source production enables full visibility and tracking of source operations and parts.
Accurate Cost Control
Material and production costs can be applied accurately to multiple jobs as production is complete. Simplified labor entry allows plant floor employees to enter quantities for multiple parts in a single step.
Simplified Plant Floor Interface
Single reporting entity enables multiple part quantities to be entered in a single plant floor interface while accurate labor and burden cost is accurately applied to each batched part and operation.
Concurrent or Subsequent Flexibility
The user can select to either link parts and operations subsequently – to be run one after another or concurrently – at the same time.
Single or Multiple Operations
The user can select either a single operation for linking or to link an entire job.
