Plex Online: Manufacturing ERP Software for Quality-Drive Industries

Since 1995, Plex Systems has focused solely on the needs of manufacturers in highly-regulated, quality-driven industries. Starting with automotive suppliers and expanding into other industries as the solution footprint grew, Plex Systems has built a fully-integrated manufacturing ERP software solution that values manufacturing data as much as financial data, treats plant personnel as "knowledge workers", and provides real-time visibility, insight and control for all functions of a manufacturing enterprise.

Today, Plex Online ERP software is used by manufacturers in a wide range of quality-driven industries around the world, including:

• Automotive Manufacturers: for parts suppliers and OEMs, the pressures have never been greater. Reducing costs, streamlining production, and increasing efficiency are the demands of the day, and outdated IT systems aren't helping. Plex Online manufacturing ERP software offers unmatched flexibility, reduces cost of IT operations, and includes a fully integrated manufacturing execution system that offers unparalleled visibility into manufacturing operations.
• Medical Device Manufacturers: from machined metal parts to complex electronic packages, Plex Online automates the manufacturing process for FDA-regulated makers of medical devices. The integrated Quality Management System, Compliance Module, and Document Management System within Plex Online's manufacturing ERP software are especially useful in meeting the complex regulatory requirements of Class I, II, and III device manufacturing, including CFR 11 Part 21.
• Food & Beverage Processors and Packagers: whether it's the FDA, the USDA, or state and industry groups, food and beverage processors and packagers face some of the strictest scrutiny of any manufacturers. As just one example, the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 requires extensive record-keeping and lot-tracking in the food & beverage industries, including one-up, one-back traceability and detailed audit trails for documentation. With the goal of total supply-chain traceability, manufacturers must track product ingredients from receipt through processing, packaging, and shipping - and no manufacturing ERP software provides more flexible, more robust control and tracking than Plex Online.
• Aerospace and Defense Manufacturers: aerospace & defense manufacturers face a wide range of strict government regulation and oversight; for example, US aerospace standard AAS9100 demands detailed documentation and traceability for every component. Plex Online manufacturing ERP software enables A&D manufacturers to achieve these mandates while minimizing manual processes and ensuring real-time accuracy, with fully integrated quality, traceability, and documentation management, including audit trails.
• Industrial Machinery & Components Manufacturers: complex equipment manufacturers have adopted lean manufacturing at a rate greater than virtually all other manufacturers, according to Aberdeen Research. Yet the majority of industrial manufacturing companies aren't getting the greatest benefits possible from their lean manufacturing strategies and processes. Plex Online manufacturing ERP software can help by empowering individuals and teams with real-time information to drive continuous improvement, by supporting pull scheduling and other lean manufacturing techniques, and helping to achieve the goals of greater efficiency, reduced waste, and streamlined production.
• Precision Metalformers: designing and building complex products to exact customer specifications frequently involve long lead times and heavy engineering content. To win business, metalforming manufacturers must provide accurate estimates and quotations to a demanding customer base, which means they must understand their true costs and production capabilities. Plex Online manufacturing ERP software provides unparalleled visibility into and control of all aspects of a metalformer's business and manufacturing operations, with tools for production scheduling, OEE measurement, supplier management, costing, and much more.
