IQMS ERP System

APP’s commitment to continuous process improvement led to our implementation of IQMS ERP Software. IQMS was born out of the plastic injection molding industry and with decades of industry experience IQMS has met the challenge many plastics manufacturers must manage including family molds, multi-level and multi-process BOM’s, multiple UOM conversions, regrind usage & consumption and recipes & blends. The end result is a greater level of efficiency ensuring on-time-delivery, order accuracy, inventory accuracy, quality, mold tracking  and pricing.

IQMS provides a host of powerful, industry-specific features designed to address:

  • RealTime™ Production Monitoring System. Automatically track data directly from work centers and update production schedules and inventory instantaneously to ensure quality.

  • Multi-Level Bills of Material (BOM). Pre-defined for use with tool and plastics manufacturing, IQMS’ multi-level BOMs reflect critical interdependencies.

  • Drag-and-Drop Graphical Scheduling Tool. Instantly ensure optimal resource planning throughout the supply chain by viewing the entire production schedule and variables that affect capacity.

  • Multi-Tool & Family Tool Functionality.  Family tools are easily handled and the system is designed to understand multiple APP part numbers within the same physical tool.

  • Regrind Usage & Consumption Features.  Add and consume raw materials that are not a part of the master inventory. APP can track live scrap rates, regrind usage, parison/flash and runner/sprue options for material consumption.

  • Industry Specific Bills of Material (BOM). Pre-defined BOMs meet the unique needs of injection molders.

  • Shelf Life Management.  APP can take a proactive role in tracking and moving inventory that limit shelf life, such as moisture content, potency, pH, and color. Once the shelf life has expired, the inventory is automatically identified as non-conforming and electronic alerts are sent out accordance to our mold maintenance.
