Encore! Performance
Encore! Performance is a Windows NT-based plant floor management software system for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing managers. It allows easy access and visualization of production information from multiple data sources. When using Encore! Performance, managers can obtain "scoreboards," reporting displays of data in a variety of graphical and highlighted formats, of production and quality data that can be tweaked for individual users. It features preconfigured production and quality analyzers, capable of database computations and comparisons, that enable users to immediately obtain information to help improve manufacturing productivity.

HarrisData/MMS
HarrisData/MMS is a client/server-based manufacturing management MRPII system that includes Year 2000 and QS9000 compliance. Order Entry functionality allows companies to enter multiple ship-to addresses per order, per line, or release within a line. Support for just-in-time environments has been enhanced with Blanket Customer Order lines, which allow 99 releases per order, including unscheduled quantities. A new Profitability and Inquiry function allows high level "what if" analysis of product costs for use in pricing and quoting. Drill-down capabilities display simulations of process improvements at any level of detail. Costs can then be rolled up to show the impact on profit margin, avoiding under-pricing of a product.
