NoBlue can help you connect every facet of your brand’s production processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction
What are the Benefits of NetSuite Production Management?
Investing in production and operations management software can unlock numerous advantages for your brand. Just a few benefits that we’ve witnessed from brands we’ve worked with include:
Real-Time Updates Anywhere, Anytime
Whatever the size of your operation, NetSuite can be accessed anywhere, at any time. Whether your team uses a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile device, they can get the information they need remotely.
This is particularly of benefit for businesses with international reach but also works incredibly well for hybrid team members or teams with 24-hour shift patterns
Reduction of Production Costs
Production management software from NetSuite can help your team minimise inputs and maximise outputs to ensure the business gains the best return on investment (ROI) and your customers can enjoy the best prices.
By having the information you need at the push of a button, you can monitor the cost of raw materials and break down production process costs, helping you make savings.
Even the smallest savings here and there can add up to make a considerable impact.
Improve customer service
What Production and Operations Management Features Are Available With NetSuite?
NetSuite is a true cloud-based software which means that all files are stored in digital folders with unique security permissions. This acts as a central home for all of your production documents and is available to anybody with the correct permissions.
There are many options in NetSuite to manage your manufacturing process regardless of size, complexity or business maturity. Your team will have easy access to work orders and assemblies, works in progress, routings and more.
NetSuite’s Advanced Manufacturing Module also offers the ability to manufacture in batches with automatic batch creation, full traceability, production control and scheduling.
The ERP is tailored to your processes, rather than you having to try to twist your processes to suit the software.
When making business-critical decisions it is vital to obtain accurate information from the shop floor. Rather than use the limited information you receive from a barcode scanner, NetSuite offers an intelligent tablet interface that provides instant feedback and visual warnings to the user when there are things they need to attend to. This helps to ensure smooth operations and effective prioritisation.
Analysing historical demand is simple and straightforward with NetSuite’s Demand Planning module. You can then compare your analysis to open opportunities and sales forecasts to get a clear picture of where the business currently sits and what next steps are needed to further business growth.
Once you understand your demand and supply, you can utilise the material requirements planning system in the same module to check BOMs, inventory and safety stock levels before creating planned orders.
NetSuite’s Quality Management solution has been designed to help you deliver the highest quality products with minimal overheads. You can quickly and easily define any quality tests you want to perform, set parameters to evaluate these results, and apply those to the relevant items and operations for receiving and in-process testing.
You have full control over the minimum pass or fail limits, how often tests are required, when they are scheduled and even which team member this task is assigned to.
Once the necessary tests have been performed, the results can easily be captured and stored on any device (including tablet and mobile devices). The data is then immediately available for staff members to review.
NetSuite’s Production Management Software is compatible with a barcode scanner, so you can digitise key information swiftly. Alternatively, you can input the information manually using a tablet device.
Your team can easily track labour, work order completions, material movements, PO receipts, shipping and more.
The ERP software will provide feedback instantly, along with visual warnings to the user in real-time (or delayed depending on your settings) so that you and your team can make business-critical decisions with all the necessary information to hand.
