Watch the Enterprise 21 Inventory Management DemoEnterprise 21’s inventory management functionality provides superior inventory control and accuracy for manufacturing and distribution organizations. Enterprise 21 helps ensure inventory accuracy through the efficient management of the physical inventory and cycle count processes. In Enterprise 21, manufacturers and distributors can define their cycle count rules enabling the system to automatically generate recommended cycle counts. Physical inventory and cycle counts can be performed manually or with RF-enabled barcode scanners. Through the use of these physical inventory and cycle count processes, along with Enterprise 21’s overall inventory management functionality, manufacturing and distribution organizations can improve overall inventory accuracy.

Enterprise 21 supports an unlimited number of product-based attributes for product definition and inventory management. These attributes may be a shoe’s color and width or an entry door’s wood species and component dimensions. Attributes can be used throughout Enterprise 21 for sales order entry, pricing definition, requisition and work order generation, shipping, and invoicing. Read More...

When product attributes are used in conjunction with the online product configurator, Enterprise 21 prompts the user with a list of applicable product attributes and allows the user to select from this list of valid configuration options. As the user selects the various options, Enterprise 21 can dynamically generate online images of the product. Through the use of attributed inventory, manufacturing and distribution companies can simplify their product master data by eliminating the need for a separate product code for each unique combination of product attributes.

Enterprise 21’s supports the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and consumer packaged goods industries through the tracking and online visibility of inventory shelf life and associated expiration dates. This visibility enables sales and marketing personnel to proactively move these products before their expiration. Enterprise 21 can automatically allocate inventory to sales orders and production processes on a first-expire-first-out basis (FEFO). Furthermore, retest periods can be established for shelf life-managed items so quality control (QC) personnel can reevaluate the physical properties of the given inventory. This process helps ensure compliance to regulatory requirements, protects the organization from unnecessary recalls, and helps reduce inventory costs due to product and ingredient obsolescence.

The Product Recall Readiness Self-Assessment survey consists of 12 questions requiring simple “Yes” or “No” responses. The self-assessment may be downloaded or taken on-line. A score will be assigned to your response to each question, and your cumulative score for all questions will then be determined and your recall-readiness defined by comparing your score to the maximum possible score of 100. The self-assessment is quick (it should take less that 2 minutes to complete) and can provide you with invaluable information as a starting point for defining whether or not your organization is adequately prepared for a product recall.

The allocation process would also tie specific components, ingredients, and subassemblies to manufacturing work orders for production processing. Enterprise 21’s inventory management functional flexibility enables manufacturing and distribution organizations to define a series of business rules for inventory committing and allocation processing. Through this process, organizations can uniquely-define how they manage their inventories to provide outstanding customer service. Read More...
