Adolph Gottscho, Inc., a leading manufacturer
of imprinting and coding equipment located in Union,
NJ, utilizes Resource Manager for job costing, production
planning and scheduling. "Originally, we had
a manufacturing package that was part of our accounting
system that we used for job costing and MRP",
reports Bob Schoemer, Operations Manager, "When
that system became obsolete and unusable for our needs,
we were faced with a dilemma - do we invest a lot
of money in an expensive, complicated MRP system that
wasn't even guaranteed to work, or do we try to patch
something together in-house using custom databases
and spreadsheets?" Bob continues, "With
Resource Manager we found the ideal solution - the
benefits of a custom system combined with capabilities
normally included in high end systems, all for less
than a couple thousand dollars.
Mr. Schoemer reports, "We have
integrated Resource Manager directly with our accounting
package, downloading part numbers, part names, even
cost and inventory levels. Then, using the familiar
spreadsheet format and menu driven commands, we quickly
and easily configure Bills-Of-Resources that contain
time-phased material requirements, workcenter routings,
and standard costs. User Solutions' spreadsheet templates
provide our company a competitive advantage for delivering
to our customers the lowest cost, highest quality
product on time and within budget. Best of all, we
remain in complete control of how, when, and where
we use Resource Manager - we appreciate software that
adapts to our situation instead of forcing us to adapt
to someone else's idea of how a operation should be
run."
