Complete lot number tracking and traceability including supporting documents
Serialized inventory control

Manufacturing Inventory Management

Inventory control plays a critical role in your company’s success by ensuring raw materials and purchased components are available when required for production, and finished good inventory levels are adequately maintained to meet your customer’s needs on time.

The advanced manufacturing inventory management tools within the DELMIAWorks ERP software system provides all the functionality to store, track and fulfill orders based on real-time inventory information from the shop floor, the warehouse, and outsourced and vendor locations.
