Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200, being an ERP software, boast their robust manufacturing module with substantial capabilities along with three of the most crucial elements in the manufacturing stage, the Work Order Processing, Material Requirements Planning also known as MRP, and lastly Bill of Materials which is also known as BOM.

Moreover, the 3 are not the only modules in the manufacturing management module solution; it also includes Purchase Order, Inventory Management as well as Sales Order.

 

The three essential modules of an ERP manufacturing and their functions:

 

1.      Work Order (WO) – is the primary component in the Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 manufacturing module. With Work Order you can find out manufacturing progression status in real time, make work schedules, generate work orders as well as keeping track of project costs and many more. WO can integrate easily with other modules to render robust ERP software. Manufacturing companies will save time in creating work orders since the software does it for them under certain conditions.

 

2.      Material Requirements Planning (MRP) – Among all stages in the manufacturing process, it is MRP that takes a lot of time. This has to be properly planned in order to come up with an efficient manufacturing process and to avoid problems along the way. Lack of materials can cause stoppage along the way and can actually hurt the project causing more expenses. With Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200’s MRP, purchase scheduling becomes efficient and effective planning gives streamlined results. MRP tells managers what materials are required, when they are required and how many are required.

3.      Bill of Materials (BOM) – a list of materials have to pass through several stages of processing before coming up with a finished good. With BOM, manufacturing companies will know exactly what kinds of materials are needed in order to come up a finished product. Manufacturing managers will be informed with accurate billing reports, production history along with material requirements. Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Bill of Materials tells what are the materials needed to manufacture the finished product.

 

Furthermore, there are three more modules that comprise the entire manufacturing management solution of Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200. To be able to achieve an efficient manufacturing and distribution system, managers should have an efficient inventory system which can be achieve through the Inventory Management module. This is another very important part in manufacturing management, inefficient inventory system can stop your manufacturing operations, causes forwarding and shipping delays, over and under stocking can affect your financial statements, and can make you miss sales opportunities. Inventory management is a very important aspect in manufacturing that is why this module can really benefit manufacturing companies.

 

In the case that you are running out of the stocks, the Purchase Order (PO) module generates purchase orders automatically to ensure you have sufficient stocks on hand, additionally, it maintains an accurate record of your transactions and performs other critical tasks. Sales Order (SO) module makes it easy for managers to keep an information of their clients, know where to ship and mail the shipments and keep transaction histories.

Every module integrates with one another which make up a comprehensive ERP system.

 

The bottom line is, the Manufacturing Module for Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 can make things easier for manufacturing companies. Under certain conditions programmed by the user, the software acts and executes actions on its own, providing you an automated yet streamlined manufacturing process, fast, efficient and productive. These are the very reasons why manufacturing companies need to have the Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 Manufacturing Module.
