Multi Mode Manufacturing
In theory, the goals of most manufacturers are simple: to develop, manufacture, and distribute products in a timely fashion; to use efficient processes that optimize resources; and to satisfy customer expectations about quality, price, and delivery. In reality, achieving these goals presents complex challenges to virtually all manufacturers; especially those that operate within mixed-mode (process, discrete, repetitive, etc.) manufacturing environments.
By being able to manage with multi-mode manufacturing capabilities, you can:
- Integrate manufacturing strategies to improve your competitiveness
- Maximize flexibility through unified diversity within your manufacturing environment
- Manage all manufacturing modes with a single system
- Enable quick transactions to different modes as you add or change product lines or tactics
- Simultaneously integrate all of your facilities regardless of which mode or modes they use
Using J.D. Edwards' fully integrated solution, your organization can interchange your choice of manufacturing modes on demand to meet changing production requirements. Because each mode exists within a single enterprise-wide system where all manufacturing processes share common inventory, material, planning, purchasing, and financial databases, you can depend upon the utmost efficiency and accuracy across every mode.
