| Dynamic Order Fulfillment's New Capability AXIS Computer Systems, Inc. has announced an important new capability within its widely deployed AXIOM Enterprise Management System called Dynamic Order Fulfillment. Dynamic Order Fulfillment dramatically simplifies order processing and product management activities for metals producers, processors, and service centers by automatically creating quote, sales order, and work order details based on the specific attributes (e.g. grade, specification, size, shape, finishing, etc.) of an ordered product without the need to maintain individual product definitions for every possible product variation. Available with the upcoming release of AXIOM version 5, Dynamic Order Fulfillment will help metals producers, processors, and service centers throughout the industry improve both customer responsiveness and market agility. Dynamic Order Fulfillment extends the sales order processing and production planning aspects of AXIOM's already-robust metals industry ERP solution with the ability to dynamically generate product pricing, commercial descriptions, customer instructions, and most importantly, work orders with detail process routings, based on the attributes of an ordered product. Data set-up and maintenance requirements are dramatically reduced as compared to traditional approaches. An entire range of products or processing capabilities can be defined with a series of tables, templates, and rules that represent a company's capabilities and knowledge in a manner that is natural and easy to understand, while at the same time supporting the real-world sophistication of metals-related processes. AXIOM has developed Dynamic Order Fulfillment in close cooperation with leading metals companies. The design was iteratively refined based on review and feedback from a number of different companies spanning the breadth of the metals industry from primary producers, to various types of processors and service centers. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
