What is Epicor Advanced MES?

Epicor Advanced MES helps manufacturers improve production performance through real-time monitoring of plant operations, equipment, and manufacturing processes. Designed for plastic molders, repetitive manufacturers, and assembly operations involving multiple machines, the solution provides the visibility needed to better understand and manage shop floor performance. With access to real-time production and machine information, manufacturers can identify resource constraints, uncover additional capacity, track downtime, and reduce scrap and material waste. Advanced MES supports operational improvements by providing timely information on production status and equipment performance. The solution includes real-time scheduling, process monitoring, production visibility, and performance reporting capabilities. Users can review operational metrics and production details to support informed decision-making, while maintenance teams can access machine condition information to help plan preventive maintenance activities. Advanced MES also integrates with ERP, accounting, manufacturing estimating, and other business systems to help connect production activities with broader manufacturing operations.

What is COSS Manufacturing?

The COSS manufacturing ERP system features a powerful Bills of Materials (BOM) module designed to carefully track the commitment and assembly of raw materials, sub-assemblies, and finished products, thereby streamlining material requirements planning. This BOM capability can manage numerous assembly stages along with countless sub-components, empowering manufacturers to determine their total material needs while accommodating unlimited annotations. As part of the COSS ERP suite, this critical BOM module integrates flawlessly with the Work Order process, effectively handling back orders, scrap, and assembled inventory. Additionally, it boasts enhanced features such as multiple units of measure and in-depth reporting, which offer users both flexibility and meticulous tracking. The advanced functionalities embedded in COSS's BOM not only facilitate maximum efficiency and accuracy in production processes but also contribute to improved overall operational performance, ensuring that manufacturers can adapt to changing demands with ease.
