Forecasting/MPS/MRP/CRP/APS-ETO/MTO/Repetitive

The VIS​I​BIL​I​TY​.net Master Production Schedule (MPS) is used to specify demand, independent from sales orders and forecasts, to drive the MRP process. Multiple named forecasts can be maintained for consumption by MRP. Forecasts may be specified for high-level family items. The MPS process can be run as a simulation or as an actual run and allows for optional direct entry of planned orders.

Inventory Control

VIS​I​BIL​I​TY​.net offers enterprise-wide Inventory Control that integrates planning and management of inventory at all warehouse locations. It provides the flexibility to manage the different types of inventory, provide traceability and control, and ensure suitable safety stock for bulk or re-order point items.

Lot/Serial Number Control

The Lot/Serial Number Control option enables tracking the activity of inventory items that are sold, purchased, or manufactured. Lot and Serial Number traceability meet the requirements for CFR 21 Subpart 15 traceability and management.

Material and Production Planning (MPP)

The VIS​I​BIL​I​TY​.net Material & Production Planning suite provides the ability to match supply with demand at each stage of the product lifecycle. In addition, the suite provides the ability to manage production and material and resource requirements using input from forecasting, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) to generate and manage supply in relation to demand requirements. This suite provides organizations with a solution that improves the efficiency of the procurement and planning process.

Purchasing

VIS​I​BIL​I​TY​.net Purchasing permits the preparation of requisitions and purchase orders, including blanket order parts against a warehouse or any work order, sales order, project, or valid general ledger account. It is fully integrated with VIS​I​BIL​I​TY​.net Accounts Payable, Cost Accounting, General Inquiries, Inventory Control, and Work In Process to track materials, costs, and activity.

Supplier Portal

To meet this objective, the VIS​I​BIL​I​TY​.net suite provides partner self-service access to key collaboration data. The Supplier Portal process is designed to help optimize the business procurement process, significantly reducing the overhead involved and achieving the best value for purchasing.

The Supplier Portal gives companies and vendors the tools to collaboratively manage the procurement process from requisitions to quotation and finally through to goods receipt. Internal users are able to create purchase requisitions for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) items or production parts via a simple web-based form. The purchasing team is able to quickly take purchase requisitions and either convert them to purchase orders or publish them online to selected vendors as a Request for Quote (RFQ). The Supplier Portal lets vendors access selected data in order to provide online quotes, updated price schedules, part lead time information, and delivery promises. The Supplier Portal provides buyers with tools to analyze vendor responses for the best balance of price and delivery performance. It supports the use of reverse auctions where the company determines the method of purchase cost management that is appropriate.
