Product setup is inherently color and size dependent, and allows the use of fittings such as leg lengths, bra cups or shoe widths if required. It is a multi-level solution that allows for data to be entered at any level in the matrix; costs, prices, or BOM items for example, can be entered at any level of style, color, fitting or size as appropriate. STYLEman uses flexible costing formats to allow you to build the standard costs of a style using the components used in the business. The component parts of a style costing can be built up automatically from the bill of materials (BOM) and the bill of labour (material routing), with additional items. The true multidimensional structure of STYLEman makes itself very evident in the structure of the BOM. In a generic production system, not designed for garments or footwear, each stock keeping unit (SKU/size) will require an individual BOM. For example, for a style with 4 colors and 6 sizes, each material item must be entered 24 times even though it is the same for all colors and sizes. In contrast, STYLEman allows materials or subassemblies to be attached to the style at the most appropriate level and has a clever maintenance program designed for rapid input of the BOM. A material that is the same regardless of color or size will only need to be entred once; it will be automatically inherited by all variants within the style. Sales contracts from the customers can be entered into STYLEman in many different ways, by EDI, B2B web order entry or manually, through a simple and efficient Order Entry program. An individual order or group of sales orders can be used to calculate material requirements immediately and create production orders or third party cut-make-trim (CMT) orders at the push of a button. Raw materials and subassemblies can be purchased manually by the operator or generated automatically from the MRP module above. A material purchase order can contain multiple raw material items with multiple delivery dates if required. Every material purchase order has a critical path attached to it, and that the relevant personnel are notified when an event becomes imminent.
