Having Trouble Tracking Raw Materials and Finished Goods?

Manufacturing businesses need accurate visibility into raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods. When inventory is tracked through spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or manual processes, it can be difficult to know which materials are available, being used in production, or ready for delivery, leading to material shortages, excess inventory, production delays, inaccurate costing, and difficulties in production planning.

How Epicor Kinetic Helps Track Raw Materials and Finished Goods

Epicor Kinetic is a manufacturing ERP solution designed to help businesses manage production, inventory, materials, costing, and other manufacturing processes in an integrated system, providing better visibility into the movement of materials from purchasing and inventory through production and finished goods.

Track Raw Materials and Inventory

Epicor Kinetic can help businesses monitor raw materials, components, and other inventory used in manufacturing. This provides better visibility into available materials and helps production teams determine whether the required materials are available for upcoming production orders.

Monitor Work in Process

Manufacturers can track materials as they move through different stages of production. This helps provide visibility into work-in-process inventory and the status of production activities.

Manage Finished Goods

Epicor Kinetic helps businesses record and manage finished goods produced from manufacturing operations. Teams can use inventory information to understand product availability and support order fulfillment and production planning.

Improve Material Planning

Accurate inventory and production information can help businesses plan material requirements based on production needs. This can reduce the risk of production interruptions caused by unavailable materials.

Support Inventory and Production Costing

Manufacturers can maintain information related to material usage and production costs, helping management review manufacturing expenses and product costs more consistently.

Improve Manufacturing Visibility

Instead of relying on separate spreadsheets and manual records, businesses can use an integrated ERP environment to access information related to materials, inventory, production, and finished goods.
