MAPICS is the most widely-used manufacturing software system in the world.  Its modular design allows selecting from more than 40 modules to custom configure the right solution for a specific manufacturing situation - while preserving your ability to add additional application modules at any time.

Applications address all areas of your business: 

Business Management - application modules providing underlying support and information management tools across multiple business areas.  Cross-Applications Support manages the system and its data, handles security, installation and tailoring duties, user help function and more.  Visual WorkPlace is a graphical user interface available to users of all AS/400-based MAPICS XA applications.  PowerVision is a graphical information access tool which combines data from multiple applications and presents it in convenient Windows formats with drill-down access to supporting detail.  Executive Information System presents summarized business measurements (finance, manufacturing, sales) and stores successive measurements for trend analysis.  Electronic Commerce is a comprehensive MAPICS interface to outside electronic communications facilities including EDI, FAX and more.  Manufacturing Performance Analysis (MPA) provides a series of continuous measurements to assist production management in monitoring the relative health of the MRP II portion of the system.  Info WorkPlace, including Jacana and Valet, provide easy-to-use tools for generating custom reporting from MAPICS and all other AS/400 data.

Demand Management - supports the customer contact functions: Customer Order Management captures customer product requirements quickly and effectively and monitors an order’s progress through shipment.  Marketing Monitoring & Analysis is a graphical sales analysis tool which quickly pinpoints product, customer and channel sales and profit activities to the finest level of detail.  The more traditional Sales Analysis is for less demanding marketing situations.  COM_Net allows MAPICS users to provide their customers with Internet access for order entry and inquiry.  Forecasting uses sales history to project future demand. 

Engineering Management - supports product design and definition, quoting and change control: Product Data Management provides a single repository for product and process definitions and performs product (standard) costing. PDMPlus provides the means to display product and process information graphically - allowing engineers to use “point-and-click” to examine and modify item information.  Estimating & Quote Management quickly defines customer requirements for quoting custom designs.  Enterprise PDM provides powerful inquiries and integrated workflow capabilities for creating and maintaining product data with site and revision level support.  Knowledge-Based Configurator helps define products in build-to-order environments.

Resource Planning - supports material and capacity management: Master Production Schedule Planning tools support production planning, master scheduling, resource requirements planning, rough-cut capacity planning and available-to-promise.   Material Requirements Planning develops recommended purchase and production activities needed to meet customer requirements.  Capacity Requirements Planning simulates plant-floor loading for pro-active workflow management.   Finite Capacity Planning and Scheduling is a state-of-the-art finite capacity scheduler and graphical management  tool.  InterSite Logistics and Multi-Environment InterSite Logistics provide a multi-site planning system to manage supply and demand of manufactured goods.

Operations Management - applications support manufacturing activities: Inventory Management tracks warehouse balances, processes inventory transactions, cycle counting and inventory valuation.  Production Control & Costing schedules manufacturing operations, sets priorities, accepts activity reporting, manages work flow, provides work center analysis and tracks actual manufacturing order costs.  Repetitive Production Management (for continuous flow production) schedules production lines, handles material movement via electronic Kanban and tracks schedule compliance.  Production Monitoring & Control is the interface for automated data collection equipment for reporting production activities, inventory movement and (payroll) time and attendance.  Purchasing supports quotes, requisitions and purchase orders, vendor performance measurements and receiving (dock-t0-stock) activities.  Procurement Management provides the capability to manage and control the essential materials using the MAPICS client server architecture.

Financial Management - supports the accounting and financial tracking portion of your enterprise: International Financial Management features fully integrated General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable modules, including cash management, budgeting and flexible reporting functions.  A Fixed Assets accounting module completes the IFM financial offering.  IFM brings the necessary controls and function required to conduct business in a complex, global economy.

Maintenance Management - helps keep production equipment, vehicles and other assets up-and-running through the preventive maintenance and repair tracking facilities of the Maintenance Management application.  MRO Inventory supports the inventory requirements of maintenance operations.  Approvals provide support for electronic approvals processing.  Maintenance Imaging provides access to drawings, photos, parts diagrams and other graphic data electronically; and the Maintenance Executive Information System provides top management a clear view of maintenance activities and costs.
