Bill of Materials
MISys Manufacturing features extensive bills of material capabilities for documenting assembly processes. These can handle sub-assemblies of any size and delve up to 16 levels deep. The BOM features in MISys are integral to managing complex stock transfers, complete with back-flushing.
For instance, when the production of 1,000 items is initiated in MISys, the system automatically manages materials, sub-assemblies, and finished goods throughout the structure. This includes instant updates to inventory counts for accurate tracking.
Inventory Control
This software controls inventory, efficiently managing raw materials and work-in-process (WIP) across countless locations. The system’s item master stores detailed information for each raw material and sub-assembly, covering aspects like detailed costing and stock status. It allows for cross-referencing an unlimited number of qualified suppliers for each item, including optional approved manufacturers.
MISys accommodates batch and direct stock transfer transactions, enabling raw material inventory management that aligns with existing business methods and procedures. The stock check feature allows for what-if simulations of stock transfers and the analysis of potential material shortages. The inventory is promptly adjusted after a stock transaction, and the details are logged in the system’s master transaction log file.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
The MRP feature in MISys acts as a connector between the master production schedule and actual purchase or manufacturing orders. The system offers various scheduling reports detailing the items that need purchasing, their quantities, and the timing for order placement to ensure material availability in line with production needs. Similarly, production advice reports provide insights into internally manufactured items.
Upon finalizing a master production schedule, the “create MRP” button can scan the schedule to identify any remaining shortages. The program can then generate purchase and manufacturing orders either manually or automatically.

Meeting all our shop floor needs
We had been operating on Fishbowl but it was not able to meet the promised expectations. After a thorough search, we are now in the implementation phase for MISys where we find it meeting all our shop floor needs. The only negative we have found is that when you start to create a new BOM it doesn’t automatically give you a new line to enter; you have to click on a new line icon each time. But beyond that one feature we have been happy with how the system is meeting our needs.

MISys Manufacturing Review
I find the system to be limiting in terms of it’s functionality and reporting. We build everything made to order and it doesn’t do a good job keeping track of inventory.

MISys Manufacturing Review
Misys did a fine job for inventory control, but lacked some of the reporting features we were looking for. It was not the most user-friendly software, and it required a lot of adjustments
