To provide manufacturers and distributors in the Metals industry with the ability to maximize yields, minimize waste, and return tracked remnants to inventory.
Many manufacturing and distribution facilities sell materials according to customer-specific dimensional requirements. This means that a customer does not often purchase a standard size that is in stock, but instead orders a custom size. This requires a supplier to yield and cut material from existing inventory, another branch’s inventory, purchase material from a vendor, or do a combination of each. This type of order typically leads to off-cuts (remnants/drops) being created during the cutting operation. Depending on the type of material being cut, the remnants may have a value and would need to be returned to inventory without having to manually create a new part number each time.
The Value of the Material Yield System (MYS) for Metals
Allows more accurate inventory evaluation
Provides efficient tracking and monitoring of remnants
Saves time by automatically calculating the best yield
Maximizes efficiency of personnel while reducing labor and restocking costs
Allows for less wastage and scrap from original materials, minimizing the need for finding environmentally safe disposal
Matching SYSPRO to Your Business
Creates a yield calculation while processing a quotation or a sales order for cut sheet, rod, or tube products
Automatically calculates customer-specific dimensional requirements with the resulting yields displayed from existing inventory in multiple locations
Creates a cutting workflow if any cutting operations are required
Allows sales persons to be in complete control of the actual items selected for order processing
Assists the user to correctly create the inventory part by including information such as material type, shape, and dimensional characteristics
Handles the issuing of raw material to a job, receipting the cut item and remnants/drops back into stock, without manually creating new inventory codes
Updates the cost of goods sold for a line item
Returned remnants/drops to stock can be put back at zero cost or have a value placed according to needs
Put back remnants/drops and cut pieces have the same heat numbers as the materials from which they were cut
Assigns new stock codes automatically based on dimensions and assigns heat number
Allows customization of inventory screens to user specifications and industry-specific terminology
Issues purchase orders to appropriate vendor or requisitions to purchasing if sufficient inventory is not on hand
Provides the optional ability to change product type or terminology (rod, tube, sheet, etc.) to accommodate specific industries
Gives efficient pricing with orders
Allows the ability to scale price when creating sales orders
Creates job operations for cutting and quality assurance
Integration
