Epicor® Vantage® / Vista™ - Product Data Management
Module
Vantage/Vista product data management (PDM) serves as a central knowledge repository for process and product history, and promotes integration and data exchange among all enterprise users who interact with the product-including project managers, engineers, sales persons, buyers, and quality assurance representatives.
Vantage/Vista offers a solution for manufacturers that manages the powerful information traditionally contained in engineering documents, plant floor routings, change orders, sales orders and quality documentation, within a single online solution that is easily shared across the enterprise.
Vantage/Vista offers a complete end-to-end solution to manage all aspects of a product’s lifecycle, as well as enabling enterprises to control the enormous amount of electronic documents that they produce. PDM supports collaboration throughout the value chain.
BILL OF MATERIALS Vantage/Vista supports traditional BOM management with single level part formats that recognizes the materials and components required to build end parts. In addition, Vantage/Vista introduces multi-level BOM management that incorporates not only single-level components and material requirements, but also internal and external routing steps for complete end assembly visibility, planning, scheduling, and costing.
ROUTINGS Detailed routings facilitate planning, scheduling and costing of products more efficiently. Everything needed to produce a product is managed in one central location. Managing changes to routings is simplified. Changes are automatically communicated to the plant floor execution system and operators have online visibility of the latest routing production notes as well as standards and resource requirements.
ENGINEERING CHANGE AND REVISION CONTROL Achieve control and consistency in your engineering change and revision process. Engineering Change and Revision Control is designed to enable engineering change management, multiple revision control of products, engineering workflow management, and offers detailed cost analysis of products during the engineering process.
ENGINEERING WORKBENCH Give engineers an area to manage all engineering tasks related to the modification, review and approval of assemblies, including: full revision updating and control, check-out procedures, security, engineering change orders, BOM maintenance, what-if BOM maintenance, what-if cost rollups, adding parts, placing parts on hold, and product routing maintenance. The engineering workbench also enables engineers to drill into all related information (e.g., jobs, inventories, sales orders, and quotes).
PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) serves as a central knowledge repository for process and product history, and promotes integration and data exchange among all enterprise users who interact with the product. Key features of the PLM application include full integration with more than 12 computer aided design (CAD) systems. PLM manages all documentation associated with a product throughout its entire product lifecycle. Additionally, the application offers sophisticated document management, critical for those organizations that need excellent audit tracking and control of all documents across the enterprise. PLM uses SQL Server technology.
PRODUCT COSTING As a manufacturer, you consistently monitor product cost and analyze profitability as a way to pass on cost savings to customers while staying competitive. Epicor offers the flexibility and accuracy that manufacturers need to analyze their product cost on a customer-by-customer, part-by-part, and job-by-job basis.
PRODUCT CONFIGURATION Product Configuration enables on-the-fly configuration of highly customizable and dimensional products via a straightforward question and answer evaluation. Product Configuration can be accessed from quote entry, order entry, and job entry. It is Web-enabled, and is also available to disconnected users employing mConnect.
