• Calculate how many assemblies you can build from on hand inventory.
• Create a list of parts and components that you need to order for building a specified number of assemblies.
• Track assemblies building on the shop floor using barcode scanning. As assemblies are built inventory stock is automatically adjusted.
• Once created, assemblies can be tracked like any other inventory item. You can track assemblies completion, storage, delivery to the end customer and maintenance using barcode scanning and mobile forms.
