Inventory / Work Order / Procedures Tracking System

This is an end-to-end in-house inventory-and-much-more system for a remanufacturing firm. This firm’s requirements are somewhat unusual in that their business operations are of “enterprise” complexity, but they are a midsize firm. Between that and their unusual niche (remanufacturing of complex instrumentation), their needs are not readily met by any off the shelf manufacturing system they could find.

The system we created for them includes:

• automated, rules-based sales quotations
• rules-based configurator
• rules-based pricing engine
• automated, rules-based bill of materials processing
• configurable order processing
• bar coding
• random-putaway inventory tracking
• hierarchical inventory locations (boxes inside boxes inside pallets inside warehouses)
• scheduling, including graphic drag-drop schedule view
• integration with multiple external systems
• interface to shipping company software for shipping automation
• receiving automation, with barcodes
• remote data collection with handheld scanners
• any-user-anywhere login support
• production and sales metrics
• much more

Technologies: Delphi, MS SQL Server, Prolog, many third party libraries
