Engineering and Design
From Repetitive to Highly Engineered Products, You’re Covered
For too many companies, the process of engineering and design is littered with excess products; multiple CAD systems, Product Data Management (PDM) systems, ERP systems and more. To make matters trickier, they often are not integrated. This creates inefficiency and duplicate effort amongst individuals within the engineering department. Wouldn’t one single system that brings together all of these components without redundant data entry be the best solution?
The amount of effort in engineering and design varies by product and certainly by industry. The key to success is to maximize efficiency, allowing engineering to more rapidly support the rest of the organization.
Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial) is so versatile, it can keep your engineering and design department organized no matter what the complexity. Your company could be manufacturing highly engineered products with numerous components and thousands of BOM items. On the other hand, your company could be engineering a repetitive product built for one or more customers, with routing or BOM configuration occasionally changing. Either way, SyteLine is your most resourceful solution. Efficiency in engineering, product design, creation of item routings, bills of materials, related drawings, specifications, and contract documents are all instrumental in feeding the rest of the organization vital information. Production, purchasing, inventory control, manufacturing and sales are all impacted by speed of completion of engineering and design functions.
