Use the toolbar to quickly navigate to any NPI area from any other area. (You can also drag from left-to-right in the NPI window to scroll horizontally from one area to another.) |
Process Engineering
Process Engineering features help you define and manage manufacturing process definitions, parts and assemblies, process revisions and change notices, project schedules, products, and just-in-time reroutes. You can also import process definitions from earlier versions of FactoryLogix.
Libraries
Libraries gives you access to libraries for parts, assemblies, documents, vendors, customers, and conditions and actions used in process definitions.
Logistics
In Logistics, you can define receiving processes and manage other aspects of manufacturing such as kit group setup, inventory, production planning, containers (packaging), and batches.
Templates and Standards
Templates and Standards provides everything you need to set up factory resources, define manufacturing quality standards, and create and save templates for every aspect of manufacturing: processes, barcodes, printed labels, vendor labels, work instructions, operator interfaces, and task flows. You can also define approval processes, manage dispositions, and set up global operations.
System Configuration
NPI System Configuration controls many aspects of the FactoryLogix system including licensing, users and roles, integration services, database archiving, and xLink configuration.
