Entry Price Point
The pricing for software can be complex and subject to
negotiation. This is the entry point for the simplest
configuration of the software and basic services to
implement it. Use this only as a starting point: your
actual costs will be higher.

schedule is created, the default sequence is automatically loaded into the
Scheduling System. Each schedule can hold an infinite number of
different processes that the raw materials must go through to become a
finished product. Raw materials are assigned to the process in which
they are consumed. The default sequence is easy to edit if needed.
Fastener Suppliers are Computer Insights, Inc. Only Business
Since fastener companies are Computer Insight’s only business, the
system is an excellent fit for fastener manufacturers. It is fully integrated
into the popular BUSINESS EDGE accounting, purchasing, inventory and
sales order system. The system manages all inventory, from raw
materials to finished goods inventory in one continuous flow.
Prioritize Jobs in a Process and Inform Operators in
Real-Time
Analyze Your Customer Orders and Stock Status to Create
Manufacturing Demand
Operators in the shop traditionally have no way of knowing what jobs
are “hot” without a manager walking out and telling them. This requires
the manager to inform all operators of the “hot” job. By assigning a
numerical priority to each job within a process, operators can now view
the jobs that are running or that are to be run in the order that they
should be working on them. When the manager has a “hot” job, the
priority is increased and the shop floor personnel know immediately that
the job needs to be run.
The system has the ability to analyze your customer orders and stock
status to create a list of jobs to be manufactured. Combined into one
report, The BUSINESS EDGE analyzes the shipment requirement dates of
customer orders and re-order point of products.
The BUSINESS EDGE Determines Manufacturing
Requirements
You can see the customer sales of each product that requires the
manufactured product as the component product. This is accessible as a
single product report or by drilling down in the Products That Need
Manufacturing report. This report lets you see the total equivalent units
of the manufactured product that are being sold each year. Need more
information about a product? Just drill down into one of the product
screens and you will see a Product Inquiry showing all the pertinent
information regarding the individual product.
Know Up-to-the-Minute Status of Your Manufacturing Jobs
Are your sales personnel constantly calling your manufacturing
department trying to get the status of production runs? With the status of
the schedule available throughout the system (including order entry), the
salesperson can get an up-to-the-minute picture of the production status.
Satisfy Customer Demands With Integrated Inspection Data
Do customers require that you maintain dimensional results or furnish
certifications with dimensional results? Inspection data can be input into
The BUSINESS EDGE and linked with the purchase order, processing
purchase order and/or production process where the inspection was
done.
The System Handles Complex or Simple Production
Schedules
Processes are the basis of the Manufacturing Scheduling System.
Information on each process is stored, including whether you want to
record labor and setup hours during production entry or you want to
spread the labor hours over an entire process’ output for a time period
and have the setup hours entered for the individual job by the operator.
The option of recording machine hours, labor hours, setup hours and
costs associated with all three is available for each process.
Automatic Alerts for Out of Tolerance Parts
Using our Product Specification system, you enter the allowable values
into The BUSINESS EDGE. Then the system will automatically alert you
when the inspection value is not within the tolerance of the specification.
If you do not use the above described system, you can setup which
attributes of the product you want to be inspected and have the operator
input the specification tolerance from the specification image and record
the measurements of the product.
Easily Create and Update Production Schedules
Creating a production schedule is simple. You are able to store a
“default” sequence of processes to be performed. When the production

IBS Manufacturing
IBS was founded in 1978 with the mission to help companies improve
their profitability and competitive edge through solutions that deliver
measurable business value.
Fully integrated with the sales and distribution functionality in the Enterprise
portfolio, IBS Manufacturing has been specifically developed for a supply
chain environment where flow-oriented manufacturing meets customer
demand. To match the ever-changing marketplace, the comprehensive
solution enables accurate and reliable operational control and can
mirror every business target you may have. Whether you have less
complex requirements regarding assembly-type production, or base
your operations on concepts such as pull planning and Kanban, IBS
Manufacturing will allow your competitive ideas to control the system, not
vice versa, as so often is the case. IBS Manufacturing can help
you achieve rapid and accurate responses to market and supply
chain demands.
Today, nearly 30 years later, IBS has become a world-leading provider
of wholesale distribution and manufacturing software and consulting
services with corporate revenues exceeding $300 Million and a global
network of 1,910 employees serving 40 countries. More than 5,000
customers use IBS software to optimize their business performance and
AMR Research ranks IBS as one of the top global software vendors in
Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Supply Chain Execution (SCE). In
addition, IBS has enjoyed a strong and prosperous business relationship
with IBM since 1978 and now holds the designation of Global Premier
Alliance Partner.

IBS continues to operate in an international market with a focus on
North American businesses ranging in size from small, privately owned
companies to Fortune 500, publicly traded organizations.
IBS applications are developed to meet the specific supply chain
requirements of wholesale distributors and manufacturers, rather than
focusing solely upon the manufacturing environment with distribution
inserted as an afterthought. As a result, IBS Enterprise addresses the
critical issues that manufacturers and distributors face in this increasingly
competitive marketplace, such as support for multi-currency, multi-language
and multi-site operations.
Staying focused empowers IBS to develop and deliver the best solutions
available for specific vertical industry sectors.
