AFC’s Top Ten List is a Tall Order for Encompix ETO ERP
AFC, Automatic Feed Corporation, designs, engineers, and manufactures multi-million dollar complex machines that have as many as 15,000 parts with 150 employees in two facilities. As AFC has faced increasingly heated global competition, they needed to increase efficiency and reduce costs because their existing manufacturing system lacked the advanced integration capabilities necessary for CAD, materials, job costing and quoting, quality, and vendor performance reporting systems. AFC selected Cincinnati-based Engineer-to-Order (ETO) ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) System, Encompix.
Nathan Weaks, AFC’s Treasurer, explained, “Our existing system was integrated for its time, but the systems of today go even further. We wanted to better integrate our CAD system with the bill of materials, integrate our sales quoting better with our costing and supporting processes, and make information about the best manufacturing times that we’ve done on a job more accessible to the
team member who is involved in making that equipment.”
Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled the manufacturing software requirements of Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992. The company name reflects our commitment to developing business application solutions that encompass the complex areas of project-based and job-based manufacturing. 07.12.2004, Encompix
