[AccessD] Manufacturing Application

Paul:

I designed and marketed E-Z-MRP many years ago (www.e-z-mrp.com).  It was
recently acquired so it's not mine anymore.  

But I'm curious to know what the requirements are to see if E-Z-MRP would
fit the bill - or would perhaps with a few custom mods.  

Manufacturing not a simple app - requires at a minimum a bill of materials
processor with a cost rollup feature, an MRP calculation program to generate
the production and procurement requirements over time based on demand,
reports that give that information in a format that's easily used, a way to
efficiently resolve those action items, and forms and reports that will
track the execution of the production and procurement plans - receiving,
release of work orders with inventory adjustments, completion of work
orders, and shipping.  

So - lots of forms and reports, lots of code.

Now it may be that they don't require all that but I suspect they do.

Why don't you give me a call this morning and we'll talk about the
requirements for this company and see what the best approach would be?

Best,

Subject: [AccessD] Manufacturing Application

To all,

Has anyone had any experience in designing and developing a manufacturing
application, I am trying to find a database model or example database to get
an exact idea of requirements, basically a friend of mine works as head
accountant for a specialist paint manufacturer and he says there just isn't
anything out there to do exactly what they require, so being clever I said I
would offer my services to try and get something as close as possible to
what they require, then a few hours later realising that I had never worked
on a manufacturer process, I have emailed him asking for the processes and
materials they use for the manufacturing process, but wanted to try and get
a head start.

Any help or pointers for this would be appreciated.
