Basic module that you must have in your manufacturing package? Routing Setup


What are the basic module that you must have in your manufacturing package ?  


1. Routings Setup which allow you to setup your processes used to manufacture your parent products and to specify the work centers where the item are performed. Routings provide workers with manufacturing specifications and enable you to schedule jobs, track WIP and calculate the labour cost, subcontract service  and factory overhead. 


Any software package that dont have routings setup is not a serious manufacturing solution. Do you have this in your software package already ?

Firing Customers


Firing Customers
We all work hard to get and keep customers. Some customers are tough and require special attention.
But when a customer just refuses to be happy - it can be a good idea to let them go in favor of spending your resources on someone else, or several others you can make happy.
When you're doing all you can and it's still no fun - it could be time.
