Featuring Extensive Reporting

VaSTiV Order Entry System [VOESys(sm)] accepts product orders that a factory can manufacture. It transforms accepted product orders into factory floor orders that can be manufactured, packed and shipped to the applicable addresses. VOESys determines whether the orders are for manual or automated manufacturing processes, based upon the Factory Setup. (see below)

Late Bound Data Pipes provide a clean, direct interface to any high-powered host software product, e.g., the VaSTiV Dynamic Scheduler (sm). A host software product, such as VaSTiV Dynamic Scheduler can, pick up factory floor orders from the VOESys with a single click of the mouse button and therefore ensure tight integration.

Extensive reports provide management reporting and control of Factory Setup and Order Entry, minimizing variability in both order entry and manufacturing processes.

Factory Setup

Enables an administrator to set up (add, edit or delete) :

• Factory. Name, address, telephone, fax, sales tax, and other essential information. (Allows for the factory to be relocated without traumatic changes in software)
• Customers. Billing and multiple shipping addresses. No known limit on shipping addresses for each billing address.
• Sales persons. Qualified sales people as assigned to Customers.
• Product Configuration profiles. By each product. Includes minimum, suggested and maximum order quantities. Unit pricing, subassembly, workstation information is also included and is fully coordinated with the Production Lot profiles. (see below)
• Production Lot Profiles. By product lines and lot sizes within product lines. Includes subassembly, workstation information. Lot size could as little as ONE unit. Product lot profiles include manufacturing process profiles to determine manual or automated processes.
• Product pricing. Unit pricing with minimum, suggested and maximum quantities.

Order Entry

Orders can be entered

• Factory. Name, address, telephone, fax, sales tax, and other essential information. (Allows for the factory to be relocated without traumatic changes in software)
• Customers. Billing and multiple shipping addresses. No known limit on shipping addresses for each billing address.
• Manually. Product, quantity, known billing and shipping addresses. VOESys ensures entry of acceptable orders only.
• Electronically. Order data may be imported from a mainframe as a captured text file. VOESys accepts or rejects orders based upon Product Lot Profiles knowledge entered in the Factory Setup.

Management Reports

• Order Amounts. Lists Order amounts for each by product line and by each product.
• Sales Analysis. Lists product revenue profile, prioritized by each product’s revenue contribution. Factory managers can immediately view the 80% cumulative revenue line for the entire sets of orders. Also useful to product line management.

Operations Reports

Factory

• Authorization Form to commit orders to production. Includes Submitted, Reviewed and Approved by signatures. Manufacturing Authorization Number must be issued and annotated on this form at this point. VOESys will later request this number and would not commit anything to production without the Manufacturing Authorization Number. This enables management to control the processes more effectively.
• Authorization Form for Product Configuration Profiles. Includes Submitted, Reviewed and Approved by signatures. Pricing approvals and lot sizes are controlled with this process.
• Authorization Form for Production Lot Profiles. Includes Submitted, Reviewed and Approved by signatures. Coordination with the Product Configuration is controlled via this process.
• Authorization Form for Workstation Profiles. Includes Submitted, Reviewed and Approved by signatures. Profiles delineating workstation assignments are controlled via this process.

Orders

• Duplicate Orders. May be viewed by management and then accepted if genuine or rejected.
• Orders Rejected. Electronically received orders from a mainframe may contain errors. This report provides the ability to retrace the steps back to mainframe and have the orders corrected.

Companion Product

VaSTiV Dynamic Scheduler features the ability to plan, produce and monitor manufacturing processes through Fabrication and Shipping.  VOESys may be installed on a remote personal computer, yet it provides a Direct Multi-Channel Data Pipe to VaSTiV Dynamic Scheduler. The Data Pipe enables the Factory Floor Orders to be captured into VaSTiV Dynamic Scheduler with a single mouse-click from a remote location,  i.e.,  over a Local Area Network (LAN).

Economic Benefits

• Reduced Operating Costs. Using documented processes reduces false starts and provides for a smoother running factory operation.
• Saving in Management Time. Various reports result in a smoother operation requiring less direct management interaction, saving expensive management time. Management reports are detailed enough to satisfy audit requirements, to ensure good security and thus reduce direct management involvement.
• Quality. Manufacturing Process variability via human intervention (operators, etc.) is reduced.
