VISIBILITY.net is one of the first enterprise business applications to be written from the onset entirely using the Microsoft.NET framework and web services architecture. This provides complex manufacturers with a distinct set of advantages when it comes to deploying the application. IT administration benefits include “client-side” PC configuration issues, and fast, reliable deployment of upgrade patches.

Complex manufacturers have more than fifty percent of their business in international markets. The need to access the dynamic communication interface has never been stronger according. Strategic advantages across the entire enterprise must include Operations Management, Technology, Business Performance Management, Collaboration, Material & Production Planning, Financial Management, Customer Relationship Management and Engineering & Product Lifecycle Management.

According to Stephen Carson, executive vice-president with Visibility Corporation, “Rules-based generation of product structures, costs and pricing must be delivered in a flexible, guided interface through the use of embedded workflow. The embedded workflow allows for integration with quoting, order entry and engineering delivering efficient data entry and reliable generation of configure-to-order items.”

Manufacturing Journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiles in the current issue of Cadalyst the fact that, “Today’s enterprise technologies pair with CAD so manufacturers can compete effectively in the world of engineered-to-order.” The complete article can be read at http://manufacturing.cadalyst.com/manufacturing/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=373711.

VISIBILITY.net has a highly functional user interface, providing complex manufacturers with a multi-document interface (multiple windows) in a single browser session. Visibility has extended the standard Microsoft ASP.NET development environment to provide a highly intuitive, interactive user experience that would not normally be possible with an Internet application. All of this is achieved with zero client interface. VISIBILITY.net does not download any software onto a client PC in order to operate. Any client PC with Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2a or later is capable of operating VISIBILITY.net. (Visibility recommends the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later.)

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software for the Complex Manufacturing sector, non-repetitive manufacturing, has been less than effective in accomplishing these strategic advantages until VISIBILITY.net. Business integration, comprehensive functionality, collaborative capabilities, global features and compliance based controls enable effective decision making, increased organizational productivity, and a system infrastructure optimized for profitable business growth.

Visibility Corporation (www.visibility.com) is a leading developer and supplier of business software solutions designed for the unique needs of project-based, engineer-to-order and to-order manufacturers. Visibility’s Enterprise Application solutions help midsize manufacturers of complex products operate their businesses effectively. Visibility has an extensive customer base throughout North America and Europe and has the strongest representation of ERP among complex manufacturers.

VISIBILITY.net is an integrated ERP solution and more. Offering unparalleled functionality and integrated workflow, this browser-based solution cost effectively delivers the power of .NET-based Web services for use with either a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle® database. Conducting business any place, any time, any where is a reality, deployable with unprecedented flexibility.

“Many placement firms are too generic according to the leading metalworking firms and suppliers down the supply chain”, according to Julie Maydew, vice president of ResourceMFG, who is finding great demand for placing highly trained technicians within the sector. When a staffing company places people in unfamiliar environments, the time to learn the expectations of the industry, company expectations, skills or experience requirements complicate the recruiting process. When a specialist is used, many of the delaying factors are eliminated as they are already recruiting in the right places for similar positions eliminating the “starting from scratch” syndrome. Reviewing dozens of placement firms claiming manufacturing specialty reveal that most were recruiting for carpenters, plumbers, journeyman electricians, construction, bookkeepers, file clerks, and a myriad of skills and positions that were not directly or remotely related to manufacturing companies.

As part of continued process improvement executives in the metalworking sector are examining hiring practices, training practices, and poor employee retention rates as their enterprise wide lean initiatives finally arrive at the Human Resources department. The process implementation is familiar since those organizations are already using lean technology, and other methodologies including Six Sigma. Generic placement or staffing organizations which can place a last-minute temporary worker are detrimental to the lean hiring process and actually prove more costly and wasteful than the few staffing organizations that recognize the specific personnel requirements and nuances of the metalworking sector.

According to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler in the March issue of Metalworking Production & Purchasing, “Generic personnel placement organizations are failing to meet the specific employee requirements of industry segments including automotive, electronic, machining, sheet metal, fabrication, and many other specialized producers. There is increasing staffing segmentation. Few organizations are involved with the total spectrum of manufacturing positions including production, quality, maintenance, supervision, and all levels of management. Skilled manufacturing recruiters must be able to deliver the right person, with the right skills, at the right time.”

In an era where lean manufacturing is normative and the standard, it is remarkable that how much waste still remains in the hiring and training of manufacturing employees. ResourceMFG maintains relationships with leading manufacturing trade organizations and associations to help clients eliminate wasteful practices, and experience real continued process improvements.
