ERP software for chemical manufacturing
chemical inventory software
It's evident that the chemicals or plastics industry faces significant challenges such as pricing volatility of commodities, economic uncertainty, globalization, industry consolidation, low margins, high fixed costs, and changing regulatory requirements. To ensure continued success, it is crucial to optimise manufacturing efficiency and flexibility, improve customer relations and service, and effectively manage hazardous materials and quality control.
In this highly competitive industry, tight control and visibility over all aspects of operations are essential to maximize profits. Regardless of whether your business supplies commodity, intermediate or tertiary products and operates in one location or a multinational corporation, a robust, integrated ERP technology foundation is necessary to take your chemical business to the next level. Choosing a vendor that understands the specific industry challenges is important.
If you want to capitalize on opportunities and overcome challenges in the chemical industry, consider implementing SYSPRO's chemical inventory software solution. This solution is highly flexible and tailored to meet the chemical industry's specific needs.

business critical solutions
traceability
-
Track materials from receipt to delivery and at any level in between
-
Rapidly identify and retrieve potentially defective goods from customers
-
Accelerate time-to-completion of product recalls
-
Improve governance and compliance
-
Continually test and improve traceability system
-
Remain compliant and meet regulatory reporting requirements
-
Mitigate risks associated with recall
bill of materials
-
SYSPRO Bill of Materials (BOM) is designed to ensure your organization has complete control over the product structure.
-
The complete bill forms the foundation for material and capacity planning, shop floor control and costing and ensures that engineering, production, purchasing and order processing are utilizing the same information
-
It allows you to facilitate accurate expected costs against which actual production costs can be tracked
-
SYSPRO BOM provides a mechanism for configuring the manufacture of multiple items against a single bill of material, including those products that result from the manufacturing process but which are not included in demand planning. This is useful for companies that produce by-products as a result of their manufacturing processes and who want to recycle, sell or use these by-products for some other value-added purpose, rather than write them off as unrecoverable scrap
work in progress
-
SYSPRO’s Work in Progress inspection system gives you the tools to record the inspection details of manufactured items and, depending on the results, select to receipt, scrap or rework quantities. Units in inspection are visible, but unavailable for use until accepted into stock. Within the inspection function, you can capture detailed records of counts, inspection, scrap, rework and stock receipts
-
You can receipt inspection items as the original product to manufacture, or as a different product or products, which is useful for end-products of variable grade. Also, you can receipt items into a warehouse different than what was originally planned
engineering change control (ECC)
Features enable the creation of user-defined Workflows to control the product development process and ensure electronic sign-off. Transactional data is controlled through a paperless approval and authorization mechanism, including ECC event triggers as defined by an organization.
