Assembly on the Fly (Kitting)

Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) Manufacturing offers flexible solutions for  manufacturing needs. Open a job to produce multiple items and by-products, adding costs as needed. Manufacture on the fly with components drawn at invoicing. Utilize the Un-Manufacture Facility for reverse processes, like breaking down a carcass or decanting liquids. Set a Standard Bill of Material for predefined quantities, such as 1000L of paint, simplifying the process. The Kit-On-The-Fly feature lets you price and invoice set quantities, efficiently managing inventory.

Assemble & Disassemble

Create assembly or disassembly processes to manufacture one or more items at a time. Disassembly, strips inventory items into component parts, this creates a simple disassembly transaction and is ideal for manufacturers needing a simple method to take apart an item and get the components back into inventory.

Process Manufacturing & WIP

Optimize your manufacturing process with KCS Manufacturing. Utilize work centres and manage inventory issues for comprehensive Work-in-Progress (WIP) and process manufacturing, incorporating both fixed and variable overhead rates for labor and machinery. This feature operates independently from the Assembly Function, enabling you to create jobs, set up work centres, and post WIP costs, including inventory, service, labor, machinery, and overheads. Upon job completion, costs are transferred from WIP to finished goods. The Bill of Materials screen allows you to assign or issue inventory, labor, machine, and overhead costs per work centre, ensuring precise cost analysis and variance control.

Works Order

A new works order function allows you to create a Works Order from a Production Schedule, added Manually or Copied from a Sales Order. Copying from a Sales Order allows you to track the Customer Details throughout the manufacturing process. The purpose of the Works Order function is to allow you to print a bulk, or Combined Materials Issue for the store. If you refer to the screen you will see that when we select the Item to Manufacture on top, that the components are listed on the screen below for greater detail.
