Infor VISUAL

Infor VISUAL is an enterprise resource planning product for manufacturers that build to customer order. It gives production staff a clear view of orders, constraints and bottlenecks, so quotes and delivery dates rest on facts rather than guesswork. It is described as suiting small and mid-sized manufacturers.

What Infor VISUAL offers

• Production scheduling — finite or drum-buffer-rope scheduling, with what-if models to secure shop-floor capacity.
• Job costing — estimated, actual and projected costs, with variances against budget flagged early.
• Shop-floor reporting — paperless tracking of attendance, labour, material movements and work in process on mobile devices.
• Wider ERP modules — MRP, MES, supply chain, HR, financials, reporting and customer management.
• Analytics and quality management — user-defined reports with drill-down.

Who it works with

Its customers include industrial manufacturers, aerospace and defence suppliers, medical device makers, high-tech firms, and producers of machinery or automotive and specialty vehicles.
