Automotive, Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing with CompuTec Solutions

Batch and serial number data can be recorded at every stage from raw material receipt through production to customer delivery within SAP Business One. Forward and backward tracing gives a complete material history for any finished part or assembly. Quality documentation can be linked to each batch or serial number, supporting customer certification and audit requirements.

AS9100 and IATF 16949 are quality management system standards with specific requirements around traceability, non-conformance management, and documented production records. CompuTec ProcessForce supports batch and serial traceability, Quality Control Test Protocols, NCMRs, and electronic production records. These capabilities are relevant to the documentation requirements assessed under these frameworks. Specific applicability to your certification requirements should be verified with your compliance team or certification body.

BOM revisions can be assigned lifecycle statuses, giving manufacturers a way to manage which specifications are available for production at any time. When a change needs to be applied across multiple products, the Mass BOM Update tool can apply it simultaneously, with changes saved as new revisions to preserve existing records. The BOM revision used for each manufacturing order is recorded, supporting a documented approach to specification management.

Yes. External subcontractors can be defined as subcontractor-type resources within CompuTec ProcessForce and included as operations within the routing. Subcontract assembly and free issue materials are managed within the Manufacturing Order structure, keeping all production steps visible and costed in one place.

Dedicated rework orders can be created for production that needs to be repeated or corrected, with time and material consumption recorded against the rework order separately from the original manufacturing order. NCMRs formally document the non-conformance, the affected part, and the corrective action required, providing a complete record of quality failures and how they were resolved.

Costs are aggregated across all BOM levels from raw materials through sub-assemblies to finished parts. Subcontractor costs are included in the Manufacturing Order cost calculation. Each Manufacturing Order can carry both planned and actual cost data, supporting cost analysis and variance visibility per order. The Costed BOM provides a cost breakdown at each level of the product structure.

Yes. Maintenance schedules can be defined per asset based on time intervals or meter readings such as operating hours or production cycles. Both corrective and planned maintenance orders are supported, and maintenance activities can be recorded digitally within SAP Business One, supporting documentation requirements relevant where AS9100 or IATF 16949 principles apply.

MRP II recommendations factor in vendor-specific lead times, current stock availability, and batch status, giving procurement teams a more reliable basis for planning. The scheduling board identifies when Manufacturing Orders cannot be completed by their planned delivery date and suggests the earliest achievable date based on current resource availability.
