Optymo is well suited for prototyping, small and medium quantities, as well as larger productions. In a glance, operations manager are able to provide accurate data on production delay as Optymo provides information on parts availability and required resources.
Traceability
Optymo provides full traceability capabilities, through lots and serial numbers management, so that users control their manufactured products, handle maintenance, product management and support for quality insurance.
Resource management
In Optymo, BOM definition includes production steps, covering tools and manpower, helping operations to quantify their needs, schedule the operations, monitor progress and validate costs after production.
Additional technical data can be added to every part, BOM and work order associated with a project. This information can include the technical characteristics of parts and their location and layer on a PCB, the cost of materials, and the equipment as well as the manpower necessary to produce the parts. This data can be used to produce preproduction reports to ensure the costs of the project are within specifications even before investing in the prototyping of the product.
Optymo also helps accurately calculate and manage potential production costs. The BOM Import tool and the EDI functionality allow parts to be purchased only when they are needed. The packaging and minimum purchase levels are also provided to avoid surprises and to adhere to supplier specifications. The Production cost calculator provides a transparent view of the total manufacturing costs related to prototypes and production runs using costs associated with parts, labor and production and test equipment.
Optymo manages multiple inventories simultaneously whether they are internal and external. It optimizes stock orders by automatically preparing PO’s for components that reach or fall below the minimum stock level established for the parts in question.
Optymo provides accurate visibility and inventory tracking within your work flows as it automatically reserves stock for production runs, allows the stock to be moved from the stock room to the production floor and eventually into the finished goods.
The user is able to create custom internal part references, not only for an individual components but for a subsystem and a finished product as well. Optymo allows the user to track when, where and who modified inventory levels and where the stock was used, by doing a complete audit trail of inventory history.
Optymo allows for the creation of lots not only for components received from suppliers but also for subsystems and finished goods. Finally, the lot traceability feature allows for easy determination of which products are affected and allows you to proactively act upon a potential issue.
