Features
MRP Across The Complete Manufacturing Journey
Explore the capabilities used by commercial, engineering, planning, production, purchasing, quality and despatch teams.
Enquiry, Quotation And Sales Order
The order is created from the accepted quotation, so accepted prices and quantities carry through to the order.
Material Requirements Planning
Material planning across every level of the material list, so a shortage appears in the week it occurs rather than when the operation starts.
Production Planning And Finite Scheduling
Capacity is limited by the machine and by whoever is rostered to run it. The schedule accounts for both.
Works Orders And Shop-Floor Booking
A works order records the bill and routing it was raised against, so a later revision does not change what is being made.
Stock, Purchasing And Goods Receiving
Requisition to receipt, with recorded receipts, balances and lot references.
Quality And Traceability
Traceability depends on the link being recorded at the moment the material moved, not on a report run afterwards.
Actual Job Costing
Job cost accumulates from bookings and movements while the job runs, and is compared against the quoted estimate.
Subcontract Operations
Subcontract operations sit in the routing, with consignments out, receipts back and the price returning to the job.
Despatch And Logistics
Delivery notes and certificates of conformity print from the consignment record rather than being prepared separately.
Reporting And Audit History
A complete operational history that cannot be quietly rewritten. Corrections add records rather than replacing them.
Also in Factory
People, Documents And Engineering Change
Three areas that used to be sold separately and are now part of Factory. Each is switched on by an administrator when you are ready for it, rather than appearing on day one.
People And Production Cover
Teams and team leaders, the employment record, and each person’s own page with holiday, sickness and training. What it gives planning is availability: who is rostered, who is away, and which machines somebody is signed off for, which is what staffing-aware planning runs on.
Factory and above · needs your data processing agreement recorded first
Controlled Documents
Drawings, procedures and work instructions held in Keystone rather than linked from elsewhere. Each revision is uploaded, checked for malware, approved and released, the previous one superseded, and every job keeps the revision it was released against.
Factory and above · switched on per site
Engineering Change
Engineering, production and quality changes in one register, with risk and impact review, approval, the date a change takes effect and a complete audit trail. Adds an engineering changes tab to every part, so a revision is tied to the parts it alters.
Factory and above · switched on per site
These are not payroll software, a document management system or a PLM tool bought separately. They are the records a manufacturer needs beside the job, kept where the job already is.
