Enterprise Planning and Connected Business

In a geographically distributed company, information may be spread across multiple, disconnected systems making it difficult to consolidate into a single version. With Plex you get:

‹ A single unified system with access to business and manufacturing intelligence, from anywhere.

‹ Real-time transparency and collaboration, connecting customers and suppliers in the value chain.

‹ Optimized master production schedule, ensuring superior manufacturing execution and timely order fulfillment.

Drive Quality from a Fully Connected Cloud

Manufacturers must deliver consistent, predictable quality. Unfortunately, traditional on-premise ERP systems often use manual quality processes that may differ from location to location, and are difficult to update in real time. With Plex you get:

‹ In-line quality processes that ensure measurements, standards and guidelines are automatically delivered and measured throughout the enterprise.

‹ Always-current SaaS cloud ERP that eliminates traditional software upgrades and maintains manufacturing quality consistency.

‹ Digitized auditable processes that eliminate manual tasks, ensure quality, and free up high-value employees to deliver their true potential.

Manufacturing Agility and Control

For manufacturers to keep up with fluctuating demand and price pressure from competitors, the ability to optimize inventory and production performance, while maintaining high quality, is critical. Manufacturers need operational excellence and shop floor agility. With Plex you get:

‹ Real-time data at “the manufacturing moment” for timely decisions.

‹ Closed-loop manufacturing execution system that operationalizes quality from control plan to compliance.

‹ End-to-end inventory visibility with high-resolution genealogy and traceability.

‹ Error-proofed quality execution with automatic checksheets and industry-specific compliance document templates, geared toward reducing risk.
