Factory Master Used For Pipe-Assembly Manufacture

B and D is using the Factory Master system in the manufacture of fabricated pipe kits and assemblies, which are used on RR commercial, military, marine and power-generation jet engines. The integrated system can handle complex BOMs, purchase ordering and production procedures, enabling it to keep track of the entire process.

The Material Requirements Planning Report (MRP) allows customers to ascertain what is currently available and what is going to be available against sales orders. Factory Master enables: bulk purchasing of common components; greater proactivity; reduced 'fire-fighting'; time saved identifying and ordering requirements; and forecast of results in shorter lead times.
