Planit Releases Jobshop 2009 R3
 LIMPLEY
STOKE, UK, Jul 30, 2009 - Planit’s Jobshop is a flexible, scalable and
intelligent production planning and control system offering advanced
functionality in the key areas of manufacturing and assembly. The software
allows businesses to successfully compete in demanding market conditions,
through direct productivity improvements and lower IT infrastructure costs.
This latest release of Jobshop, 2009 R3, adds a number of new features in
addition to further developing existing functionality and improving
usability throughout the system.
Data analysis and reporting is one of the primary objectives of a
manufacturing software solution. Jobshop provides an extensive suite of
standard reports, which can be extended and enhanced with the use of Crystal
Reports. In this latest version powerful document customization allows key
system documents to be defined for printing, emailing or PDF creation,
either via the standard internal print format or a fully customizable
document based on a Crystal Report template.
The Crystal option adds exciting possibilities to the external documents
feature, allowing users to define the Jobshop data they require on the form
and format the document layout in any style. By judicious application of
user definable or analysis fields within the Jobshop database it is even
possible to customize documents to vary for different customers, suppliers
or even applications.
Shop documents and GRN (goods received notes)/stock labels can also be
produced and customized using the same procedures. Example layouts of
documents are included with the software for users to expand and develop and
novice Crystal users can work with their consultant to create the ideal
document set.
Jobshop’s powerful costing functionality provides users with a wide
variety of options based on standard, current or actual costs. All
purchasing, manufacturing and associated costs are determined within a
single database engine; ensuring reports are based on consistent and
accurate data. Another new development in Jobshop 2009 R3 is aimed at
helping estimators assess process times more efficiently and with greater
consistency and accuracy, by building the planned labor times from a toolkit
of synthetics.
Standard processes can be defined as a series of formula based steps
using a new graphical formula builder. Constants and variables can be
incorporated and linked to specific materials and work centers. When applied
to an estimate the user is prompted to enter the pertinent data as required
by the formula and the resultant operation time is calculated.
Jobshop incorporates complete ‘cradle to grave’ parts issue control. For
sites using the existing sized stock part functionality in Jobshop, new
length or area based materials can now be defined directly within the
estimate just like any other material. If the job is won then Sales
Confirmation will allow creation of these parts as standard. Sized stock has
been further extended to cover coil material. New conversion factors allow
purchasing in sensible units and off-cut returns are calculated
automatically.
Of key interest to aerospace and motor sport companies producing carbon
fiber composite parts, the shelf life functionality in this latest release
has been extended to recognize temperature sensitive parts. The shelf life
of such components or materials automatically reduces in line with their
exposure to ambient temperature. The exact degree of degradation can be
specified as a factor against each part.
To make accounting easier the VAT category applied to a Sales Invoice is
now delivery address dependent rather than customer orientated.
