MISys is modular, so you purchase just the functionality you need. Start with the core module, MISys Level 1. When your company grows and needs more functionality, additional MISys modules add serial/lot tracking, bin tracking, manufacturing orders, master production scheduling (MPS), material requirements planning (MRP), shop floor control, and much more.
Level 1
Level 1 provides the basic functionality all manufacturing
firms need: inventory control, multi-level bills of material, revision
control, and integrated purchasing. It's the perfect place to start to get
your production operations under control.
Level 2
For those who need to take manufacturing management to the next level, beyond basic inventory control and purchasing, Level 2 introduces Master Production Scheduling and Material Requirements Planning.
While MISys SAE Level 1 helps you maintain an inventory, MISys SAE Level 2 helps you maintain no inventory. Although reducing the manufacturing inventory to zero is not practicable, the MRP functions in Level 2 can help you reduce inventory holding costs by 30% or more. With this kind of savings, the software can pay for itself in a matter on months.
Also included in MISys SAE Level 2 are customizable Manufacturing Orders, perfect for make-to-order manufacturers and custom job shops alike. These orders are the key to tracking actual production costs and driving accurate COGS into the integrated accounting system.
Level 3
For most manufacturing companies, labor is the most significant component of production costs. Accurately collecting and analyzing production labor costs has, until now, been out of reach for most manufacturers. MISys SAE Level 3 changes all that by implementing production work centers: areas of the plant where some specific activity takes place.
By merging work centers with bills of material from MISys SAE Level 1, Level 3 creates bills of manufacturing; high-powered bills of material that document not only the materials needed to complete an assembly, but the step-by-step operations that must be performed.
When production starts and continues from step to step, MISys SAE records the actual labor expended for each operation, together with any extra material consumed or overhead incurred. On completion the actual production cost (material, labor, and overhead) is passed to the accounting system.
Serial/Lot Tracking
No one likes to track serial numbers or lot numbers for the finished goods they produce and raw materials they consume, but when a regulatory agency such as the FAA or FDA requires comprehensive serial/lot tracking, the optional MISys SLT module is up to the task.
MISys SLT answers two critical questions: 1) "Where were these tracked components used?" and 2) "What tracked components were used in this assembly?"
Bin Tracking
For companies that store raw materials or finished goods in mutliple containers (such as bins, bolts, rolls, or rail cars) an extra level of inventory control is required. The MISys Bin Tracking module effectively creates an unlimited number of sub-locations in which inventory is maintained.
