Formulae
Formulae is an advanced module provided by FactoryMaster that allows manufacturers
of tailor made products, e.g. venetian blinds, doors or anything else that is built
to a size and dimension specification. It allows the manufacturer to maintain just
one bill of materials and manufacturing route. Upon order entry it will ask for
dimension and size. FactoryMaster will then calculate a tailored bill of materials
as well as a tailored works order for the fulfilment of this order with no further
work required by the user.
FactoryMaster also allows you to create quotes for work based upon these same formulae.
This functionality can have a significant impact upon the time it takes for work
to be quoted and built within a system.
This type of module is a good example of how FactoryMaster can add extensive extra
functionality into its core product without invalidating upgrade paths for customers.
