MRP / MRPII / ERP functionality is a critical
component of the competitive manufacturing enterprise. Properly designed and
implemented systems provide benefits including minimization of inventory
investment and shortage, efficient utilization of labor and other resources, and
improved communication. The MPAC system is an integrated set of MRP / MRP II /
ERP applications for manufacturing, distribution, EDI, data collection, and
accounting. The system is designed to excel in the range of applications
addressed as well as in flexibility, responsiveness, and ease of use. Since its
introduction in 1979, MPAC has been continually groomed and enhanced for
improved functionality and to incorporate current technologies and business
practices. In addition to the traditional data base, the system also supports
data objects including image data, drawings, ISO 9000 spec sheets, and unlimited
free form text. The MPAC PC-Connect client side software for Windows platforms
provides the ideal interface to the Unix/Linux server based applications.
