Define bills of materials (BOM) from simple to very complex bills
Learn how CoWry ERP enables you to define simple single-level bills through to complex formulations with multiple units of measure and relationship definitions.
Calculate lead and elapsed times and order quantities
Calculate lead and elapsed times and order quantities CoWry ERP enables you to ensure accurate calculation of lead times and dynamic elapsed times, and assists in the optimization of production order quantities. The Engineering Change Control (ECC) module facilitates the efficient management of changes to product versions.
Increase productivity and lower production costs by minimizing loss
CoWry’s Manufacturing Operations Management solution provides complete manufacturing lifecycle management from planning, scheduling, publishing, collecting, tracking and analyzing to optimize and improve end-to-end manufacturing operations. Together with CoWry’s ERP this solution offers a unique level of delivery, cost and quality control of manufacturing operations for job shop, batch production, production line and mixed mode environments.
Simplify material requirements and capacity planning
With CoWry ERP, material and labor consumed in production may be back flushed or, for longer production runs, issued as consumed to work in progress. Work-in-progress inspection functionality enables a product to be receipted against multiple items if grades of the final product vary.
Manage material, labor and scrap during work-in-progress
CoWry ERP tracks actual versus estimated labor hours, and facilitates material usage and scrap.
Integrate ERP with CAD and shop-floor data collection systems
CoWry’s integration framework enables version-independent integration to CAD and shop-floor data collection systems. This eliminates the need for double data entry and reduces potential for error.
Control and track costs
Capture, track and analyze job and product costs and profitability in real-time with CoWry ERP. The software shows you expected versus actual costs for material and scrap, as well as internal and external labor, fixed and overhead costs per job, or group of jobs. R&D job data is easily extracted for regulatory reporting requirements.
Perform "what-if" modeling on material, labor and routing costs
CoWry enables you to simulate and model the different costs involved in changing material, labor and manufacturing routes, so you can make smart decisions. Evaluate job costs, assess margins and determine pricing with full visibility to product cost details and profit margins, including for co- and by-products.

BOM is defined by the manufacturing process and includes: work centers, labor, tools, dies, inserts, fixtures, raw materials, packaging, scrap rates, setup times, yields and equipment.
Work in Progress
Work in Progress module is the cornerstone of the system’s Manufacturing Solution. It allows you to issue work orders, develop schedules, and track costs associated with the manufacturing process. This solution provides you with complete control of the manufacturing process and the ability to see up-to-the-minute, work-in-progress information.
Factory Documentation
Factory Documentation facilitates clear and accurate user-defined shop floor documentation for production operations to be performed and materials to be issued, thereby enabling accuracy and efficient control of production processes.
Product Configurator
Product Configurator provides a rules-based system, which enables on-the-fly configuration of highly customizable and dimensional products via a straightforward question and answer evaluation. Through the standardization of this process the configurator can be utilized by multiple people across the organization.
