Adams does a considerable amount of custom valve design for specific applications requiring either all new BOMs or revisions to current ones. The engineering department really appreciates the power and sophistication of the BOM module and especially the ease with which BOMs may be created and managed in ALERE Manufacturing. "The flexibility of the BOM module allows me to get the design and assembly right" observes the Adam's Engineering Manager. He also notes the ease of using ALERE Manufacturing when comparing it to other systems he has used. " It is really fluid, like going from DOS to XP®. I really like the real time interaction between ALERE Manufacturing and the accounting software." Adams Valves is a company that emphasizes performance in their products. They expect their manufacturing software to perform also. For them, that expectation has been met in ALERE Manufacturing.
