Top 10 Reasons to Implement WorkShop

1. Graphic BOM's

Build entire indented bills from the top down on one screen using Treevision. Lower level bills are generated automatically. Add subassemblies or components anywhere in the bill structure and see  them instantly. Saves hundreds of hours and enables you to visually see all the relationships.

2. Modular Bills

Compress hundreds of bills into just a handful by using Modular Bills. Include choices right in the structure of the bill to eliminate the need for unique bills for every feature or option in a product. Greatly improves the accuracy of the bills and simplifies the construction and maintenance of even the most complex products.

3. Variable BOM's

Avoid adding thousands of item numbers to inventory by using Variable Bills. With just one part number, you can make any length cable, put any number of reflectors on a bike, or specific which parts and their quantities make up a kit.

4. MRP

MRP like you've never seen it before. Any data range, bucketed or bucketless, synchronized with your production schedule, and much more. No more tedious running of MRP for each level in a bill. Do you entire planning from sales orders to purchased raw materials in just one pass.

5. Configuration

Use just one BOM to define multiple finished goods configurations. This allows each work order to have a route and a list of materials based on the configuration you select for the product. You can even use just one part number to make an item multiple different ways.

6. Finite Scheduling

Fast forward or backward finite scheduling to the nearest hour or minute. You can even select the time of day for the scheduler to start. Supporting 3D graphics allows you to see the loads on your floor by item, customer, work order, or work center.

7. Synchronous Manufacturing

Close the gap between material planning and finite scheduling with Synchronous Manufacturing. The MRP reports allow you to synchronize your production schedule with your material requirements. Lean manufacturing at its best.

8. Transactions

Capture every stop of the manufacturing process with transactions. Know the actual labor that goes into each job. Allocate fixed and variable overhead to the products being manufactured. Account for overages and shortages. Post finished goods to inventory before the entire job is done. Transactions are key to achieving ISO certification.

9. Modifications

The advanced table-driven architecture of WorkShop allows you to make modifications easier and faster than any other package. Best of all, the changes that are made can be brought forward to new product releases. That preserves your investment.
