net Resource Manager™ is the foundation product within the net collection™.

     net Resource Manager™ enables an organization to finitely define all product resources, process resources, overhead resources, and labor resources required in the manufacturing process.

     The product resources include raw materials, both purchased and manufactured; from fiber to yarn to dyes and chemicals to fabric to packaging supplies to the final retail item ready for positioning on the store shelf.

     The process resources will include corporation, division, plant, activity center, work center, and machine structures. The overhead resources will include all fixed, variable, and semi-variable cost oriented elements. The labor resource will include the standard job classifications from fixed and variable assignments to direct labor to be tracked in the manufacturing process.

Bill of Resources

     net Resource Manager™ provides the user the ability to select different attributes to uniquely define product structures; yarn could utilize blend, count system, count and ply; fabric could utilize style, width, color, packaging supplies could use an item code; and a garment or blanket could utilize a style color, and size matrix.

     net Resource Manager™ affords the user the opportunity to efficiently connect resources into a multi-plant bill of resources, thus building a parent/child relationship uniquely defining all resources (products, processes, overhead, and labor) required in manufacturing a unique product. This bill of resources will be utilized by net Scheduler™, net Cost Construction™, and net Pro Plan™ as the foundation of their specific algorithms. Resources are the economic basis of your organization. Resource integration is the enterprise foundation for competitive advantage.
