Most ERP systems help you to create the works orders you need to make the parts to fulfil customer orders, however many of them give you no information about the progress of a works order until finished parts are received into stores.
You can use the Rhombus Factory Information System to fill this gap, and give you visibilty of manufacturing activity as each container of work in progress moves through your factory.
