Batch Ordering with Cetec ERP
Efficiency involves minimizing waste, time, and effort while maximizing output. One effective method for achieving efficiency is batch-making ordering lines, which streamlines processes and enhances productivity. This technique not only reduces resource consumption but also ensures smoother operations and faster turnaround times, making it an essential strategy for businesses aiming to optimize their workflows.
Cetec ERP’s batch order feature offers a robust solution for streamlining order processing by allowing you to group order lines, whether they come from a single order or multiple orders. This functionality enables users to pick parts for all grouped orders simultaneously on one screen, significantly enhancing efficiency. Additionally, it provides the capability to move the order line location seamlessly and log time uniformly to each order line, ensuring that every aspect of the process is tracked and managed effectively.
There are plenty of scenarios where batch-making order lines is the best option. Perhaps you have a blanket order from a regular customer, and know you have the resources and capacity to complete more than one order line. You could schedule the finished goods to ship at a later date rather than moving them into stock, giving yourself a buffer and capacity to focus on other jobs. By doing this, instead of having to use set up time twice, you only have to use it once. Production has fewer changeovers and less room for quality errors.
Another scenario we have seen is the users have a ‘base’ sub that goes into more than one product, such as lubricants or epoxy. You can have several types of these materials, but they all start with the same base and require specific testing to make sure everything is set up correctly. When using Cetec’s batch order function, you can produce the base that will be used in several jobs, and cut down on waste because now only one lot needs to be tested as opposed to running a single small lot per job and having to test each lot.
