Global Solution
With recent mergers and acquisitions, most major players are now (or soon will be) dealing with plants and vendors in far-flung locations. To extract the most value from these assets, you need greater visibility into production and your supply chain. FlexNet gives you a global performance dashboard with actionable real-time information for managing processes, performance and production throughout your entire enterprise.
Use it to identify and sharebest practices, issue alerts on noncompliant events, and emphasize sustainable products and processes – improving performance, decreasing waste, and improving regulatory and market compliance.
Wider Footprint
FlexNet is an Operations Execution System (OES). Delivering much more than traditional Manufacturing Execution System (MES) functionality, an OES addresses a wide range of operations execution processes, including those surrounding production, inventory, quality and supply chain visibility. FlexNet delivers plant-level functionality across your manufacturing enterprise into your supply chain network. Within a single plant, it manages production, quality, warehouse, maintenance, and time and labor. Then, it collates similar data from all other plants, using common key performance indicators. The result? You make smarter, faster decisions.
Extending the Value of ERP
FlexNet synchronizes production and the supply chain, both upwards to your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and downwards to manufacturing equipment residing within your automation layer. It does this seamlessly at all your locations through the use of business processes authored within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), providing a completely integrated system, and a bird’s-eye view into the diverse levels of your enterprise.
