Metal Fabrication ERP Software - WinMan

Benefits and Features of WinMan ERP

Product Configurator

Automatically generates a bill of materials, specifications and time allocation for the manufacture of the product. Popular configurations or standard specifications can be uploaded into the system to save time and minimize inaccuracies.

Available-to-promise

The serial barcode system for inventory and stock management can assist sales staff and account managers when responding to queries since they can base answers on the current inventory and resource availability.

Planning and Scheduling

Ability to provide actual time and cost of manufacturing on any given component with its profitability calculations. System planners can create schedules that include setup times, cost of resources, workforce availability, product testing and timescales based on the data within the ERP system. Required WIPs can be easily amended on the system, and copies of the amendments will be saved.

Productivity and Reducing Waste

Yield and nest processing can be controlled and monitored through the system to help reduce waste during the fabrication process. To aid productivity, WinMan will be able to review and suggest alternate manufacturing or process routes if the required resource(s) is unavailable. For manufacturers with lights-out production facilities, the system can help Production Manager organize these shifts to meet order deadlines.

Finance and Accounting

Comprehensive integrated accounting features will make purchasing of metal commodities, subcontract processing and cash flow management simple. Metal prices can be recorded at the point of purchase on the system for easy tracking and monitoring for accurate costing calculations. The level of metal waste or by-products can be logged and actively monitored.

Engineered to Order

Track ETO projects from start to finish using WinMan ERP. The total number of man-hours and all raw materials used can be tracked for accurate cost calculations. Projects can be created within the system to store detailed information such as materials required, technical drawings, invoices, and client conversations. Multiple quotes can be saved and accessed when required.

Our WinMan ERP system allows me to directly and quickly access the management information I need to run the business – real-time reporting of key performance indicators such as operating efficiencies and deliveries. Vitally, more consistent pricing gives a truer margin on the work we perform. Meanwhile the system has supported our company’s strategy of investment for growth and its ability to meet delivery promises, hence strengthening its reputation in the marketplace as a reliable and trustworthy supplier. An accurate delivery date to the nearest day can now be assigned by our sales administration staff within half-an-hour of an order being placed. We proudly meet over 99% of those dates.

Westin

As a director of the business it was important to me that the system we implemented not only met our functional requirements, but also came from a supplier that was prepared to take on single source responsibility. Of all of the companies we evaluated, WinMan were the only one that ticked all the boxes.

The underlying advantage of WinMan for John Sankey was its flexibility and the ease with which it could be tailored to suit the company’s specific needs.

John Sankey

Our objective was to streamline data processing and substantially reduce keystrokes – a 50% reduction was the minimum target – and a lot of that keystroking was to do with assignment. The more non-value-adding activity we can take out the better.

Thomas Broadbent and Sons
