Industrial Manufacturing & Fabrication
If the shop floor and the ledger disagree, the ledger is wrong.
Shop-floor data that actually reaches the ledger, so work-order costing, inventory, and MRP reflect what the plant is really doing rather than what the routing says.
Draft for review — Draft sector positioning. Confirm the compliance frameworks named on this page are ones OneVision genuinely works to before this goes live.
You are probably here because
- Standard costs have not been reviewed since the last ERP implementation
- Work-order variance is explained after the fact rather than managed
- MRP output is overridden by an experienced planner with a spreadsheet
- Multiple plants each run their own item master and their own definition of cost
- Physical inventory and system inventory diverge between counts
What makes this sector different
Manufacturers rarely have an ERP problem in the abstract. They have a specific gap between what the plant does and what the system was told the plant does — and every downstream number, from standard cost to MRP to margin by product line, inherits that gap.
We start at the work order. Once routings, labor capture, scrap, and yield reflect reality, costing and planning stop needing a monthly correction, and the argument about which number is right ends.

What we actually do here
Work-order costing
Routings, labor and machine capture, scrap and yield configured so variance is visible while the job is open, not at close.
Shop-floor integration & process automation
Getting real production data into ERP — from barcode and scale integrations through to MES interfaces — and automating the fabrication paperwork around it, without adding steps for an operator.
Inventory & MRP tuning
Lot sizing, safety stock, and lead-time parameters set against your actual demand variability, so planners work with the system instead of around it.
Multi-plant consolidation
One item master, one cost model, and comparable plant-level reporting across sites acquired at different times with different habits.
Per work order
The level at which cost has to be right, not per month

Item masters a typical acquisitive manufacturer is carrying
Daily
How often the plant changes, versus quarterly for the ERP
What you are measured against
We would rather name the frameworks up front than discover in week six that the configuration cannot satisfy one of them.
Standard vs actual costing
A costing method chosen for how your products are actually built and quoted, then configured consistently across plants.
Traceability & recall readiness
Lot and serial traceability configured so a recall or a customer audit is a query, not a fire drill.
Customer & quality audits
The document and revision control your OEM customers expect to see when they audit your process.
Draft for review — Every framework above needs confirming against what OneVision can genuinely speak to in a first call. Naming one you cannot is worse than omitting it.

Company growth since the new ERP went live
A manufacturer wanted its ERP implemented and its ongoing support outsourced — with service improving and cost falling by a third at the same time.

Questions from this sector
We have grown by acquisition and every plant runs differently. Where do we start?
With the item master and the cost model, not the org chart. Those two decisions determine whether consolidated reporting is possible at all; everything else can be sequenced plant by plant afterward.
Should we upgrade JD Edwards or replace it?
If your manufacturing configuration is sound and your customization layer is manageable, staying on EnterpriseOne and getting current is usually cheaper and less disruptive. The case for replacing it is strongest when the customization layer is undocumented and the people who built it have gone.
Can you improve costing accuracy without a full re-implementation?
Often, yes. Routing and labor-capture problems are usually fixable in place. We will tell you which category you are in after a project health check rather than assuming the larger engagement.
