5/01/05 - When less is more... How the “Perfect-Sized” MRP System Can Help Small Manufacturers 9/30/04 - Beach Access Software Adds Capacity Planning to E-Z-MRP™ # # # Del Mar, California; February 1, 2007 - Beach Access Software announces the release of the Spanish language version of E-Z-MRP™, an integrated Material Requirements Planning system for small- and medium-sized manufacturers. E-Z-MRP was first released under the DOS operating system in 1985 and achieved great success and widespread use with customers around the world. The software has been successfully implemented in a wide variety of manufacturing environments and works equally well in job shop, build-to-order, build-to-stock, and build-to-forecast operations. It has also been used as an instructional aid in universities. The system's greatest strength is its simplicity of operation. "Anyone who can read and count to 20 can run E-Z-MRP," said Rocky Smolin, President of Beach Access Software. "It is the ideal first system for a small company or as a stepping stone to a larger system. However, none of the essential features you need in a manufacturing system have been compromised." E-Z-MRP is written in Microsoft's Access Database Management System, a component of the popular Microsoft Office Suite, making it compatible with a number of third-party products. "E-Z-MRP made running an MRP system possible for hundreds of small manufacturers who had neither the time, the money, nor the expertise to implement a conventional manufacturing system," Smolin said. "E-Z-MRP in this new release continues this philosophy. It is still arguably the simplest approach to MRP and the easiest to implement of any MRP system in software history." The package includes a full-featured Bill of Materials processor, plus a material planning and tracking module which tracks all sales orders, forecasts, work orders (planned, firm, and released), purchase orders, shortages, raw materials, and finished goods inventories. It also records a complete audit trail on all inventory transactions. Also included in E-Z-MRP are a physical inventory function, capacity planning, and a purchase order module for printing purchase orders. And, like previous versions, E-Z-MRP supports multiple databases, making it easy to do simulations or answer "what-if" questions without disrupting the production database. This new release of E-Z-MRP supports both Spanish and English. And the two languages can be mixed on the same installation. The system is also available in French, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The total cost of E-Z-MRP is $2,995 for the version restricted to 500 parts, and $9,800 for the unlimited version. This is a fraction of the cost of systems with similar power and capabilities. It will run on any Windows-based PC or network, and requires only Access 2000 or later to run.

The system includes both traditional and simplified Mandarin translations, selectable by the user. Susan Wu, president of Unity World Class Corp., was the project manager of C/PIOS (Contracted/Production Inventory Optimizing System), the MRP-II system selected by the U.S. Department of Defense for aerospace companies in the 1980s through 1990s. Subsequently, she was the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) International Associate in Taiwan for a decade. Her company, Unity World Class Corp., has created this Chinese translation of the E-Z-MRP™ system. “I saw that large manufacturers in China had Enterprise Resource Planning systems such as SAP or ORACLE to meet their manufacturing systems needs,” Wu said. “However, there was no system that could serve the thousands of small manufacturers emerging in China. “After surveying Windows-based manufacturing systems, I found that E-Z-MRP™ is not only implemented easily by manufacturers who understand only the very basics of manufacturing systems as taught by APICS, but also in some ways it is consistent with the Chinese philosophy of Tao which makes it particularly acceptable to the Chinese.” “Further, these emerging firms do not need the whole APICS Body of Knowledge (BOK). By using E-Z-MRP™ they can focus more on developing their own core competence. Even companies that might be large enough to justify the expense and effort of implementing a mid-range system will be attracted to E-Z-MRP™ as a first-time manufacturing system – a solid ‘stepping stone’ to a more sophisticated system and ERP Class A Accreditation.” said Wu. E-Z-MRP™ was first released under the DOS operating system in 1985, achieved great success and widespread use with hundreds of customers around the world. Wu’s firm created a Chinese translation of this version of E-Z-MRP™ in the early 90s. The software has been successfully implemented in a wide variety of manufacturing environments and works equally well in job shop, build-to-order, build-to-stock, and build-to-forecast operations. It has also been used as an instructional aid in universities.

The total cost of E-Z-MRP™ is $2,995, a fraction of the cost of systems with similar power and capabilities.

Del Mar, California; September 30, 2004 - Beach Access Software of Del Mar, California, announces the addition of a Capacity Planning module to its entry-level integrated manufacturing system – E-Z-MRP™. The Capacity Planning module allows users to define work centers, enter labor routings for each manufactured part, and generate graphic and tabular reports. These reports show each day what work is flowing through each work center and what percent of each work center’s capacity is being utilized. “The user does very little input to get some very valuable output,” said Rocky Smolin, president of Beach Access Software. “The work center definitions and labor routings change very little once entered. And the work center loading is being driven by demands from other parts of the E-Z-MRP™ system. ” Smolin said the Capacity Planning reports give a small manufacturer visibility over manufacturing bottlenecks that may not occur for weeks. It also gives them the time they need to respond to capacity constraints, adjust their delivery schedules, and meet their customer commitments. “It’s a benefit usually reserved for much larger companies with much larger systems,” he said. In addition to the new Capacity Planning module, E-Z-MRP™
includes a complete Bill of Materials processor and a Material Planning
and Tracking module that generates the standard MRP Make and Buy reports.
The system also offers a Physical Inventory function and a Purchase Order
module for printing purchase orders. E-Z-MRP™ runs on any Windows-based PC or network, and requires Microsoft’s Access 2000 or later to run. # # # |
