Exact Progression's Standard Product Routing (SPR) module is oriented toward any size make-to-stock manufacturer, but it also has the inherent flexibility to be used in job shops where jobs tend to be similar to earlier jobs.
SPR standardizes manufacturing routings, the information that describes the path a product follows on the shop floor as it flows through the production process. SPR routings are used in three valuable ways.
Sequencing Work - On the shop floor, in the form of shop packets, to describe the sequence of manufacturing operations, how the operations are to be performed, the type of machine required, the tools to be used, etc.
Scheduling - In production planning to calculate manufacturing lead-time and organize work center loads.
Costing - In production control and accounting, to set-up control records to trace the progress of the shop order and accumulate actual vs. planned costs. This is using SPR in conjunction with other Macola packages, such as Standard Costing (S/C), Shop Floor Control (SFC) and Manufacturing Cost Accounting (MCA).
