THE PLEX SMART MANUFACTURING PLATFORM

PLEX HUMAN
CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT

To stay ahead of global competition, you need a well-trained, productive workforce and a management team who are aligned and working together to achieve your business objectives. You need a Human Capital Management (HCM) system that is purpose-built for manufacturers and intertwined with manufacturing processes.

Single Unified
System of Record

Plex HCM manages your greatest assets – your employees – so that the data is captured once and then leveraged throughout the system. This means the information is always accurate and up to date. Plex HCM tracks the capabilities, capacity, and performance of your global workforce across the manufacturing landscape, controlling costing, training, and reviewing to drive superior production quality.

Purpose-Built for
Manufacturers

Plex HCM is purpose-built for manufacturers to help you maintain industry regulatory compliance. Run your business with confidence using Plex HCM to match employee skillsets with production needs, develop skills from within, manage employee suggestions for continuous improvements, and stay on top of health and safety incidents.

World-Class Time
& Attendance

Plex HCM manages labor costs with accurate time tracking and employee attendance records, using an embedded ecosystem of electronic or biometric time clocks and a request/approval workflow system. Configure complex overtime pay rules and deliver up-to-date analytics for informed decision making. Use time off tracking capabilities to assist with paid time off requests, time off accruals, and payroll balancing. With Plex HCM, you can also extract and export payroll data for sharing with your payroll provider.

TWO-TIER ERP AND MES BENEFITS

Product quality is the price of entry to comply with consumer demands and regulatory requirements in today’s global markets. As products and processes become more complex, continuous efforts to reduce cost, increase transparency, and support stringent compliance demands, make it more challenging to maintain high quality. Though initiated by the automotive industry, today’s advanced quality methodologies are quickly gaining adoption in other industries.

Enhanced Quality Management

Improve your overall performance, reduce the cost of quality, and mitigate the risk of recalls by making quality management a real-time, proactive process that is integral to your ERP and Manufacturing Execution systems. As an active member of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), Plex follows the guidelines of this industry leading organization.

Standards Compliance

Quality control plans and compliance documentation are embedded in Plex to help you achieve and retain quality certifications important in your industry (ISO, TS, QS). You can provide your customers with best-in-class quality certification and provide auditors with instant access to proof of compliance so their audits take hours instead of days.

Supplier Quality

Supplier scorecards managed directly in Plex provide you with end-to-end visibility of your entire supply chain. Your Plex-enabled suppliers can utilize Plex to fill out checksheets in your system to automatically validate quality in real time before materials get to your system. This paperless collaboration process facilitates quicker, more comprehensive quality analysis.
