Manufacturing the Cloud: The Future Looks Bright

NetSuite has recently upgraded to the 2012.2 release and from a manufacturer’s perspective, there are several highlights:

1) Manufacturing Work in Process: Manage your shop floor activities with finer control with the new Manufacturing Work in Process (WIP) functionality. This new functionality adds a multi-step process, which includes work order issue, work order completion and work order close.

2) Revision Control: Track effective and obsolete components in a bill of materials (BOM) with effectivity dating or revision control.

3) Lead Time per Location: Enter lead time and safety stock levels on a per-location basis. With the addition of this capability, users can refine their planning process with more accurate safety stock and lead time values.

4) Cycle Counting: This new feature provides warehouse managers with a higher level of inventory accuracy, enabling tighter control over the company's assets.

5) Serial Number Generation: Lot and serial tracking has been in core NetSuite for many years, but with this new functionality we can auto-generate the serial numbers for you with a prefix.
