MISys enables CACI - Ticom Geomatics to track each component from its original supplier, through the receiving, production and delivery to customer processes. “Government auditors…are impressed by how well the system helps us conform to specific requirements (whether it’s ISO, FAR or AS-9000),” says Gordie. “One aerospace customer gave us a two-thumbs-up review based on a first article inspection of their product and our processes utilizing MISys for job procurement, material management and quality control.”...

Inventory was more of an inventory reporting system, not an inventory control system. With no controls on the production floor the inventory manager was completely dependent upon manual reports which showed what had happened the day before to remove, build or adjust inventory. There were no cycle counts, overages, damages and misuses were seldom reported and as a result stock outs were common and inventory was not arriving in time to meet production needs or customer requirements...

Mixing company financials and company inventory in the same program was proving to be a problem, as well as not a very good business practice. The company's biggest challenge was to find software that would fit with the manufacturing model of building mostly custom products for customers, or a base product with several variations. This caused the company to seek specific manufacturing software...

According to First Line Technology president and co-founder, Amit Kapoor, “We work with four different suppliers and it is important for us to be able to track each part back to the original manufacturer in cases where faulty parts affect the quality of our product. MISys allows us to do this and enables us to more easily troubleshoot and solve problems, which has made it possible for us to earn the quality assurance certification, ISO 9001.”...

"I use MISys a lot for reporting and reconciling," says Schleifring accounting manager Sally Brown. "When we were using Sage, information was difficult to consolidate because some information was stored in Excel spreadsheets while other information existed only in the Sage system. I'm more comfortable with one system that controls the data flow to all of the other applications. MISys interfaces well with Sage and Excel, making this possible."...

According to By the Yard General Manager, Quint Thocher, “MISys supports best practices in a way that most MRP systems do not.” Because many MRP systems are customizable, smaller companies often alter the system software to mimic their own processes. MISys accommodates the needs of smaller manufacturers while providing a structure that encourages best practices. “Most small businesses do not start out with best practices,” says Quint, “so this is a valuable feature.”...
