Identifying Your Needs
As a manufacturer or distributor, you consistently monitor
product cost and analyze profitability as a way to pass
cost savings on to customers while staying competitive.
Epicor offers the flexibility and accuracy needed to analyze
product cost on a customer-by-customer, part-by-part,
and job-by-job basis.
Generate cost-based estimates easily utilizing the tree
interface to drag-and-drop components, operations or
materials from another quote, Bill of Materials (BOM)
or previous job. Pull same-as-except type parts into the
estimate, then modify them quickly and easily to create
a new one. Calculate material, subcontract, labor, and
burden costs for multiple quantities of a part. Perform
realistic cost estimating with the ability to add any
special charges (e.g., tooling or design), minimum lot
charges, price breaks, and scrap factors on materials and
subcontracting. Specify and store individual markups
for material class, subcontracting, operations, and
special costs. Create RFQ requests to trigger buyers to
solicit suppliers for pricing of materials required in the
estimating process. Review responses once submitted for
inclusion in the estimate. When the order arrives, punch
a few keys and the detailed routing will be ready to go to
the floor or to make additional changes.
The Epicor Base QMS Solution, is the foundation
solution, and includes capabilities and processes
that drive the most critical and fundamental quality
management programs. The Base QMS Solution can
be augmented with individual or multiple solutions
that bring new functionality to meet specific QMS, EHS
and compliance needs.
Capabilities include:
• Non-conformance reporting
• Delegation and escalation
• Audits management
• Corrective Action (CAPA)
• Document control
• Training management
• Risk register
• Supplier, materials and chemicals
• Inspection and testing
• Return Material Authorizations
• Planned deviations
• Customer feedback
Product Configurator enables on-the-fly configuration
of highly customizable and dimensional products via a
straightforward question and answer evaluation. It is web
enabled and you can deploy them to the Web for use with
your Kinetic application, including Commerce Connect or
the Dealer Network Portal.
Integrated with ERP, configurations are easily priced and
once sold, manufacturing details flow to procurement and
production, ensuring accurate and timely manufacturing
of highly configurable products.
Allow Sales to sell, and Engineering to focus on design.
Your product configurator can auto-generate proposal
drawings for Sales, while also providing CAD file outputs
for Engineering, relieving pressure for both teams.
We work with the most popular CAD platforms, like
SolidWorks, Autodesk, and PTC.
Selling items with many dimensional attributes can be
complex and make it difficult to implement ERP. For
these manufacturers and distributors, Epicor offers the
Advanced Unit of Measure module that reduce the complexity of
implementation by reducing the amount of configuration
needed to fit these unique needs. The benefit of
Advanced UOM functionality is that it delivers a simplified
approach to finding the right inventory by segmenting
inventory with inventory attributes such as hardness,
strength, modulus of elasticity, or density. Because the
inventory is segmented, it is easily located, physical
counts are more meaningful, and the business can plan
inventory needs at the attribute level, ensuring accurate
supply and demand are met.
Everyone has it. Yield Scrap. This functionality offers the
ability for scrap reporting at an operation to affect the
estimated production quantity of subsequent operations
if the scrap exceeds a predetermined scrap allowance.
Some users may just want a warning others may want
automated predefined actions.
