Detailed forecasts

You need to know the cost of your end production and how many production components are required. To assist you in making correct estimations, Exact Globe can generate detailed forecasts based on:

  • previous results.
  • sales history.
  • sales expectations.
Using these forecasts, you can easily compare planned and real consumption of materials and resources. Exact Globe shows a simple reproduction of the analysis of individual production results, ensuring that your results match your planning and predictions.

Material requirements planning (MRP)

Exact Globe offers multiple calculation scenarios, so that you can choose the one that best suits your business situation. You can analyse the PEG ratio of your MRP cycle and determine in detail which resources you need, simplifying the supply process. Using the MRP-functionality, you also have easy access to all logistics transactions, from sales order to delivery. And you can set up your internal logistics to comply with legislation.

Resource planning

Allocating resources, such as workers and machines, is simplified in Exact Globe. You have insight into capacity, making it easy to plan machine use and labour hours in advance. With the help of Exact Globe you can also make detailed schedules of planned hours per department, co-worker or project.

Defining bills of materials

In Exact Globe you define simple or multiple versions of BOMs, routing, and product dependencies. Together with profit margins and batch dimensions, these form the basis for cost price calculation. You gain full, continuous insight into the development and budget of manufacturing. In Exact Globe you can:

  • create different versions of a bill of materials, for example with multiple product variants, options and materials.
  • store an unlimited number of levels in the materials structure.
  • use order conditions.
  • link activities to the allocation of the machinery.

Production costing and control

Using scenarios to calculate the cost price, you can make a unique calculation for each end product. To determine your profit margin, you can:

  • compare an order’s total manufacturing costs with the sales price.
  • examine the actual costs of end products, by weighing specific cost factors.
If the cost price in the BOM changes, the price will be automatically adjusted in product development until the completion of the end product.

Manage manufacturing

Control your daily production process from planning to delivery. Based on customer orders, stock levels or advanced MRP orders are created, scheduled and processed. Exact Globe supports the production of both standard and customized products. Production can be executed in various operational steps, making it easy to keep track of the use of materials, machine and labour hours.

Outsourcing

In addition to purchasing materials, companies are increasingly interested in purchasing production activities. This can save costs and add extra capacity or knowledge to a business. Your outsourced production can also be entirely integrated into Exact Globle’s purchasing process.
