Encompix (www.encompix.com) a business unit of Made2ManageSystems, has filled the manufacturing software requirements of engineer-to-ordercompanies since 1992.

Encompix provides ETO manufacturers with a competitiveadvantage by improving bottom line results. Manufacturing Journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiled the transformation of PoblockiSign Company in the recent article titled,  Signs of Success published inManufacturing.net. The complete article may be read athttp://www.manufacturing.ne t/article/CA6355628.html.

Acc ording to Cutler, Â After reviewing product information from a number of businesssystem vendors, Poblocki arrived at a short list of three. A major point was theability to support ETO (Engineer-to-Order) manufacturing. This sign company is acustom shop rather than a repetitive manufacturing environment; everything isdesigned and built-to-order rather than to inventory, and the company selected theETO ERP (enterprise resource planning) system by Encompix, a business unit ofMade2Manage Systems.Â

The benefits of the new technology were numerous. Over the past five years, each jobhas been tracked throughout the entire manufacturing process and WIP(work-in-progress) information is available immediately. The new system hasdramatically improved the entire company accounting functionality."Before it used to take four weeks to perform our month-end closing; now we closeour books in less than a week and we have total confidence in our numbers," said RonWisniewski, controller. "By using the data from Encompix and analysis tools like F9and Crystal Enterprise, we now make more informed decisions and run the businessmore efficiently."One of the key issues identified during the evaluation process was materialshortage. Because Poblocki did not have a good handle on the physical materials thatwere in-house, it frequently had to expedite to get materials delivered, or it heldorders in production because materials were late. Now, perpetual inventory recordsare accurate and have eliminated material shortages while maintaining lowerinventory levels, even though the business has grown more than 10 percent per year.
