Labor Costs Captured Differently for ETO Manufacturers

Dec. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- The fourth installment Streamline Systems’ ETO blog recently focused on capturing labor costs for ETO manufacturers in AX 2012, found at  http://www.streamlinesys.com/blog/.
Touch screen productivity ensures that engineer-to-order manufacturers are capturing labor costs accurately and efficiently.  This information is another critical challenge for the ETO manufacturer, especially when labor is directly applied to a major project.  This is always a challenge for manufacturing when labor represents a significant percentage of the cost of goods sold.  There’s a long standing effort to capture actual labor as accurately as possible without placing an undue burden on the labor force to manually record and type in labor time.
In AX 2012, shop floor workers use touch-enabled job registration forms to register time and quantities produced. This functionality also allows supervisors or schedulers to prioritize jobs and perform actions such as start/stop jobs.   By providing more intuitive, easy to use touch screens, workers stay productive. Dynamics AX 2012 is designed to be the most powerful, agile and simple ERP available.  AX 2012 ETO from Streamline Systems can also be followed via Twitter @StreamlineSysAX.
Streamline Systems just published a vital tool for Engineer-to-Order manufacturers; the white paper is objective and looks at the history, trends, and future of ETO manufacturing.  Larry Cohn and the ETO experts at Streamline Systems work with industrial manufacturers to manage and grow their businesses through the effective use of software designed for engineer to order manufacturing companies. “We focus exclusively on ETO manufacturers, who benefit from the knowledge and experience of ETO experts,” commented Cohn.
The paper discusses the development of ETO ERP Solutions, including AX2012 ETO ERP. The Streamline Systems ETO ERP white paper may be requested at:  http://www.streamlinesys.com/engineer-to-order.php.
