Having trouble managing engineering changes, keeping track of tools, cutting down on waste, optimising resources, and making sure everything runs smoothly in production? 

Clever Manufacturing Plus is here to help! It works alongside the standard Dynamics 365 Business Central manufacturing module, adding features like Engineering Change Control, Tooling, By-Product Management, Enhanced Visualisations, Enquiries and Enhanced Analysis. These features make a big difference in compliance, traceability, change management, tool management, resource allocation, and overall production accuracy. In simple terms, it helps you avoid problems, boost efficiency, and keep things running smoothly. 

What Clever Manufacturing Plus can do for you:

Engineering Change Control 

Handling engineering changes can be a headache. Clever Manufacturing Plus has great Engineering Change Control features that ensure a complete audit trail, compliance and traceability. This means you can easily manage engineering modifications without disrupting production. 

Tooling Management 

Keeping tools in check is crucial for avoiding downtime and making sure they’re maintained properly. Clever Manufacturing Plus optimises tool usage and ensures tools are available and well-maintained, leading to smoother production workflow. 

By-Product Management 

Managing by-products effectively can really boost your efficiency and profitability. Clever Manufacturing Plus cuts down on waste and adds potential revenue by improving the traceability and utilisation of by-products, turning what was once waste into valuable resources. 

Enhanced Visualisations and Enquiries 

Seeing what's going on with production orders and resource allocation is key to avoiding bottlenecks and ensuring smooth operations. Clever Manufacturing Plus provides enhanced visualisations and enquiries that quickly highlight potential issues, component shortages and capacity bottlenecks, allowing for proactive management and resolution.  

When used with Clever MES, it provides real-time visibility of production progress – by machine centre and production order. 

Enhanced Analysis 

To keep production accurate, it's essential to analyse your processes, component usage and costs. Clever Manufacturing Plus offers manufacturing analysis to ensure that your production BOMs (Bill of Materials) and routings are accurate and to help identify manufacturing process issues by comparing planned vs. actuals. When used with Clever MES, additional information is automatically captured from your work centres for more comprehensive analysis.

Clever Manufacturing Plus is more than just an add-on; it's a must-have tool for any business looking to optimise their manufacturing operations. By filling the functional gaps in the standard Dynamics 365 Business Central manufacturing module, it ensures that businesses can run more efficiently, reduce waste and maximise profitability.
