As more traditional manufacturing is increasingly replaced with the requirement to assemble units for stock from a number of sub-assemblies, the efficient management of this process becomes a critical element in today's competitive marketplace. Designed to operate seamlessly with our other software modules in a totally integrated supply chain solution, the SIRONA Light Manufacturing System is written to use all the latest graphical user interface (GUI) features of Progress, the award winning software environment.

Light Manufacturing Key Features

• Bill Of Materials
• Requirement Planning
• Operation Route
• Full Enquiries & Reporting
• Component Availability / Replacement

The SIRONA Manufacturing module allows the creation of a bill of materials that comprises of either individual stock items or previously made assemblies along with the quantities required for each component.

Once the component detail of an assembly item is set up in the stock file, each time you wish to produce the assembly you make a "MAKE ORDER", specifying the number of kits you wish to make. This process details the components required and the quantity of each. The processing, in terms of stock allocation, picking of components and putting away of finished goods is fully integrated with the SIRONA Stock Control module.

The system will generate the details required to instruct warehouse staff where to put the made items in the warehouse. This confirmation will adjust both the quantities of the components and the kits on the system.

All the postings to the General Ledger will be automatically created and can be posted to separate General Ledger codes.

If you fail to make the number of items specified on the make order, any allocated stock will be de-allocated and can be left in the make area or moved back into stock locations.

The system can automatically assign a revision number when the bill of materials is amended, and incorporates this in batch numbering sequences for stock traceability.
