The GAIN4 System is focused on maximising capacity whilst minimising costs. There are a number of key areas where our various modules will have a direct, positive, effect on profitability:
Our system, when fully connected to the shop floor, removes costs associated with manual data collection and input
The provision of detailed information allows better control of raw materials, WIP, energy and other costs if required related to each individual job
Specifically, our Efficiency module:
- Increases output and reduces cost by highlighting key problems and bottlenecks and facilitating changes and improvements
- Takes in to account the specifics of the product in manufacture, more accurately reflecting the efficiency of the production process
In addition, the Labour Tracking module:
- Enables measurement of costs and profitability of individual jobs
- Maximises profit by facilitating comparisons of actual costs to cost standards
The Production Tracking module:
- Minimises inventory and reduces costs by allowing a full understanding of raw materials usage
- Reduces cost by minimising cycle times
