Essential Tools to Optimize Production and Reduce Costs

Optimize Production with Advanced MRP & MES

Optimize Production with Advanced MRP & MES

Plan, schedule, and track manufacturing processes in real-time

Efficient production starts with accurate material planning and real-time shop-floor monitoring. SIX ERP provides robust MRP and MES capabilities, ensuring manufacturers can align raw material procurement with production demands, track work orders, and identify bottlenecks proactively.

  • Automated Material Requirements Planning (MRP) – Ensure raw materials are available exactly when needed to avoid overstocking or shortages.
  • Real-time Production Dashboards – Gain live insights into machine performance, work order progress, and production efficiency.
  • Work Order Tracking with IoT Integration – Monitor production tasks with automated data collection and performance tracking.
  • Predictive Maintenance Alerts – Reduce unexpected downtime with AI-driven equipment monitoring and proactive servicing.
  • Batch & Lot Traceability – Track every component through the production process, ensuring compliance and recall readiness.
Eliminate Stockouts with Smart Inventory Management

Eliminate Stockouts with Smart Inventory Management

Track raw materials, WIP, and finished goods across multiple warehouses.

Overstocking ties up capital and leads to unnecessary storage costs, while stockouts cause production delays and missed deadlines. SIX ERP provides granular inventory control, ensuring manufacturers always have the right materials at the right time. With automated reorder points, multi-location tracking, and real-time stock updates, businesses can prevent shortages, reduce excess inventory, and optimize warehouse operations. By integrating barcode/RFID scanning, demand forecasting, and seamless supply chain coordination, SIX ERP helps manufacturers improve cash flow, minimize waste, and enhance overall efficiency.

  • Barcode/RFID scanning for accuracy
  • Automated reorder triggers based on demand forecasts
  • Multi-warehouse inventory synchronization
  • Integration with WMS and IoT sensors
  • Inventory turnover analytics
Ensure Quality with Integrated QC Tools

Ensure Quality with Integrated QC Tools

Monitor and maintain product quality at every stage—from raw materials to final inspection.

Inconsistent quality can lead to costly recalls, wasted resources, and damage to a manufacturer’s reputation. SIX ERP embeds quality control (QC) checkpoints directly into production workflows, ensuring that every product meets industry standards and customer expectations. With real-time defect tracking, automated quality inspections, and supplier performance monitoring, manufacturers can proactively address issues before they escalate.

From raw material assessment to final product validation, SIX ERP supports ISO 9001-compliant traceability, allowing businesses to track quality history, manage non-conformance reports (NCR), and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) efficiently. By integrating advanced analytics and digital checklists, SIX ERP helps manufacturers reduce defects, enhance compliance, and maintain consistent production quality.

  • In-process quality checks with digital checklists
  • Non-conformance reporting (NCR) and CAPA workflows
  • Supplier quality scorecards to ensure top-tier raw materials
  • End-to-end traceability for recalls and regulatory compliance (ISO 9001)
  • Real-time defect analytics for data-driven quality improvements
 Streamline Supply Chain Collaboration

Streamline Supply Chain Collaboration

Seamlessly connect with suppliers and logistics partners for a more efficient and resilient supply chain.

In manufacturing, delays in procurement, material shortages, or inefficient logistics can disrupt production schedules and lead to costly setbacks. SIX ERP optimizes supplier collaboration by automating purchase order (PO) generation, improving communication with vendors, and providing real-time shipment tracking. With integrated supply chain analytics, manufacturers can anticipate potential disruptions, optimize lead times, and maintain seamless production flow.

The built-in supplier portal enables vendors to provide real-time order updates, reducing back-and-forth communication and ensuring materials arrive as scheduled. Freight and logistics integrations further streamline shipping processes, offering manufacturers full visibility over incoming materials, warehouse coordination, and outbound deliveries. Risk management tools help businesses mitigate supplier-related disruptions by tracking performance, identifying bottlenecks, and adjusting procurement strategies proactively.

  • Automated PO generation based on MRP and demand forecasting
  • Supplier portal for real-time updates, approvals, and order tracking
  • Seamless freight and logistics integration for optimized shipping
  • Lead time analytics to predict and reduce procurement delays
  • Risk management tools to mitigate supplier disruptions and bottlenecks
