Multiple BOM Types

Multiple types of bills of material bring a level of capability and flexibility unmatched, at any price, to manufacturing planning! Component, Modular, Alternate, Phantom, Variable, and Kit type bills each have unique characteristics that will significantly save valuable engineering time, reduce errors, open up new design and production opportunities, and save money by reducing inventory stocking errors! These BOM types make ALERE the industry leader for manufacturing software!

Advanced BOM Structures

The capabilities of the ALERE BOM allow it to solve a range of challenges that plague a wide range of manufacturing verticals. The added functionality of ALEREs BOM include: Variable Phantom bills, Adjustable Raw Material bills, and Two-Dimensional Formula bills.

Each of these advanced BOM functions offers significant improvements to the configuration, planning, and manufacturing processes, providing a significant benefit to your business over other ERP solutions offerings.

Modifiable Work Orders

Recording what really happened on your manufacturing floor enables you to accurately track productivity and account for variances.

ALEREs works order can allow users to revise the route of a work order, edit the material lists, scrap WIP, account for additional material use, post byproducts, and more to work orders. All without starting the work order over or using a time-consuming administrative workaround.

Users can even selectively push updated material lists to inprocess work orders when changes are made to the originating bill of material.

Maximum flexibility with minimum effort makes the manufacturing process easier!

Repair Traceable Items

Could your company use the ability to easily receive a serial numbered or lot numbered item, issue it to a work order for repair or upgrade, and then return it to the customer under the original ID and never lose traceability? This seemingly difficult, hard-to-find, potentially expensive function is a standard feature in ALERE!
