The AMAPS family of manufacturing
systems - AMAPS/Q, AMAPS/3000 and AMAPS/G - has long been recognized as the
world's premier MRPII systems. AMAPS+PLUS now combines the most advanced,
multi-tier, multi-platform architecture and extended user functionality with
this proven reliability. AMAPS+PLUS goes beyond the current client/server
technology. AMAPS+PLUS allows you to choose the best computing platforms,
operating systems and database managers that fit your system deployment needs.
This technology also provides integration of AMAPS+PLUS with your other systems.
The business objective of AMAPS+PLUS is to increase the user’s level of control
over manufacturing operations, while simultaneously reducing the effort required
maintaining that level of control. These gains are achieved by improving the use
and maintenance of manufacturing information. Productivity User productivity
increases with AMAPS+PLUS through the use of state-of-the-art Windows technology
and Client/Server computing. A Point and Click user interface eliminates
keyboard intensive activities. Graphs and spreadsheets that are easy to
understand and use, replace traditional text data screens. These changes result
in more thorough analysis and action than was possible before AMAPS+PLUS. User
Interface The graphical user interface in AMAPS+PLUS is a result of working with
AMAPS users for over twenty years. The interface is based on how planners,
buyers, schedulers, cost accountants, engineers and other users actually do
their jobs. Graphic displays highlight potential problems. Production and
material exception conditions are consolidated for review in one window. Work is
simplified by displaying the appropriate information in an intelligible, useable
manner. Users make point and click updates with minimal data entry. In
addition AMAPS+PLUS even comes with an integrated user query tool which provides
a point and click facility for ad hoc inquiries and data extraction.
