Information Systems
Information management provides manufacturing companies with their best opportunities for increasing throughput and efficiency, decreasing costs, making smart, timely decisions, ensuring safety, and meeting customer expectations. Because this information provides the greatest potential benefits to our client companies, Avid Solutions has developed exceptional capabilities in this area.
In today’s competitive market, the need for immediate and related production information has forced leading companies to move from paper to electronic systems. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) enable a company’s high level Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to communicate directly with the shop floor. As the middle layer between financial, supply chain, purchasing and planning functions and production, MES can package the data created and recorded at the plant controls, and communicate to the ERP what products have been completed, which raw materials need to be ordered, how much scrap has been generated, how human resources have been deployed, and much more.
As manufacturing plants strive to improve, more systems are included in the space between the production floor and business systems. While MES has focused mainly on production, Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) is a methodology for viewing the end-to-end manufacturing process, encompassing production, operations, quality (QOM), inventory (IOM) and maintenance (MaintOM).
Acronyms aside, the need to define all of the business activities needed to make and test products and share that information is essential. By replacing the inefficiencies of paper systems and the inconsistencies of individually generated spread sheets, Avid Solutions helps companies realize the benefits of accurate, immediate, and relevant information. The result is leaner operations and the ability to make business and production decisions as they occur.
As a solution provider, Avid Solutions can focus on just a part of the information puzzle minimizing implementation costs while maintaining the vision for sharing information to all systems. Or our services can include the complete lifecycle: establishing business and production processes, vendor selection, application design, configuration, training and support.
