Sage Manufacturing to Sicon Manufacturing Migration Guide
Case Study | Redtronic speeds to the rescue with Sage 200cloud and Sicon
Case Study | BFS Pressrooms roll out streamlined operations to modernise their Manufacturing with Sicon Additions for Sage 200
Designed specifically for Sage 200, and integrating with BOM and Stock Control, users have the ability to generate amendable works orders from BOM’s or start from a blank works order where no BOM exists. This makes Sicon WOP an ideal addition for clients in manufacturing who need a simplified stock allocation and issuing process with the ability to amend.

Manufacturing processes can be enhanced through the inclusion of additional Sicon modules, such as Barcoding & Warehousing, Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC), Projects and Material & Resource Planning (MRP). With these modules, functionality can be extended to include features such as, picking stock for works orders, capturing time against production operations, linking to projects for rolled up costing of complex builds and visibility of demand for what needs to be made and/or purchased.

Sicon Works Order Processing can be purchased as part of the Sicon Manufacturing Suite:

Sicon Works Order Processing captures production data from a variety of sources, including stock, labour, machine and subcontractors, giving visibility of overall finished product costs and updating stock levels. Whilst WOP can work independently of Sage 200 BOM, when combined, this provides enhanced functionality to create Works Orders.

Sicon Projects for Manufacturing

Integrates perfectly into bespoke manufacturing environments to capture Stock, Purchase Orders, Timesheets and other costs to give budget versus actual comparison.

Kitting

A simple, single level bill of materials module that can be amended prior to building the finished product either for Stock or directly within the Sage 200 Sales Order.

Material & Resource Planning (MRP)

When used in conjunction with Sicon WOP, this module provides a simple MRP solution creating suggested Works Orders and Purchase Orders to fulfil demand. Included Rough Cut Capacity Planning delivers a real time graphical user interface for labour and machine demand against availability.

Functionality  can be extended with the addition of Sicon Shop Floor Data Capture and/or Sicon Barcoding & Warehousing.

Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC)

An Android based app that links to both the Sicon WOP and Sicon Projects to allow real-time capture of operation progress and elapsed times.  The addition of this module allows users to issue allocated stock and record inspection results.

Barcoding & Warehousing

An Android based app that allows manufacturing businesses to interact more efficiently with Sage 200.  Examples include, receiving and putting away stock, picking and issuing stock to a Works Order and despatching Sales Orders.
