Manufacturing
MEAC has a full systems solution for manufacturing companies.
When it comes to ERP systems for manufacturing companies, one size does not fit all. Because of the different nuances of manufacturing, a number of different areas of functionality are required to support the various processes. Not all ERP systems provide the required functionality. From traditional work order completion to electronic kanban, Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne will assist you to improve your manufacturing operations.
The footprint below represents JD Edwards' functionality for manufacturing organisations. See below for more information on: Sales Management, Supply Chain Planning, Manufacturing Execution, Financials, Australian Payroll or HRM, Logistics and Manufacturing Reporting.

Sales Management
Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides you with full Sales Order Management functionality including comprehensive CRM, advanced pricing (catering for all discount structures), stock allocation management, agreements, EDI, sales order entry matrices and sales order templates all integrated as one. There is no need to piece together and interface with other systems.
Supply Chain Planning
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides you with full Supply Chain Planning capability. Whether or not you wish to implement statistical forecasting or advanced Master Production Scheduling the product will provide full functionality to support and enhance your business process. If traditional MRPII concepts are not enough, Oracle’s Value Chain Planning Solution integrated with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides you with unrivalled capabilities. A comprehensive Procurement module including things such as Supplier Self Service, Purchase Order Templates and a RFQ process are included.
Manufacturing Execution
No matter what type of manufacturing your company is undertaking, Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne will support and enhance your process. Whether it be integration to SCADA or other specialist equipment, batch control, quality or trace and track, Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne will more than cope with it.
Financials
Most ERP systems on the market cater for the standard Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets and General Ledger modules. Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne takes this further, providing you with additional functionality including Multi Company and Multi Business Unit, flexible Chart of Accounts, Expense Management, Budgeting and more. If your organisation undertakes Engineering, Project or Job based manufacturing Oracle’s JD Edwards provides extensive Job / Project Cost and Advanced Cost Accounting to compliment standard Manufacturing Accounting functionality.
Payroll and HRM
Many ERP system sold in Australia do not come with Australian Payroll or HRM modules. This often results in expensive integrations, dual entry of data or outsourcing of critical back office functions. Having a time sheet entry method integrated with both Payroll and Job Cost is especially important if you have a job or project based manufacturing operation where it is important to capture actual and book time against a job.
Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides a suite of integrated Payroll and HRM applications designed to overcome the problems mentioned above and help streamline HR operations by reducing time-intensive administrative tasks and lowering costs by deploying self-service applications. Modules and functionality provided include Australia Payroll, Time Sheet Entry, e-Recruitment, Performance Management, Compensation Management and Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service.
Logistics
Although most ERP systems contain good inventory functionality, not all extend this to the extent required by Australian Manufacturing organisations. Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne goes against this trend extending Inventory Management to include Advanced Warehousing, Transportation Planning and bulk stock inventory. Full lot and batch control with excellent track and trace capability linked to Quality Management is included.
Reporting and Analytics
Most ERP systems provide report writing capability and integration with Microsoft Office products, as does Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. However in addition to this JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides a sophisticated Plant Managers Dashboard and Financial Compliance Console. These two applications provide graphical displays of key Manufacturing, Sales, Logistics and Financial metrics, out of the box.
If more sophistication is required, Oracle provides a range of pre-formatted Business Intelligence “Applications” which are integrated with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
