Steel Service Centers tie a significant amount of available cash into Raw Material inventory. Much of the complexity in this business is based on inventory visibility, and optimizing furnace scheduling and throughput.

Inventory Visibility

Not every coil or metal raw material type is the same. Differences in physical or chemical properties restrict raw materials from being used for certain finished goods items. These coils, billets, or sheets are difficult to miss, but tracking what is in inventory and what needs to be ordered can be complex.

JustMetalsERP provides full visibility of what is available in inventory. Track chemical and physical properties of all raw materials. Automate the receiving process to ensure that a full Certificate of Analysis can be produced on demand.

Heat Tracking

Each heat has different physical and chemical properties. Tracking this information is critical to the production process. JustMetalsERP can support the most stringent heat and lot tracking requirements, satisfying customer certification and bill of lading documentation.

Tag Management

Occasionally serialized Tag information must be updated to facilitate the urgent shipping of goods to a customer. JustMetalsERP supports serialized tag information containing remarks, testing status and associated purchase and in process test results. All of these fields must be system maintained but provide the ability to overwrite field information for users with adequate security permissions.

Furnace Scheduling

The furnace is often the capacity constraint for Steel Service centers. Scheduling the furnace or other key constraints is made easy with JustMetalsERP’s visual production scheduler.

Multi-Plant Facilities

JustMetalsERP is perfect for companies with multiple facilities. Standardize all of your plants or locations on a common platform. This provides full visibility even from afar. Inter-Company transfers and sales is a standard feature, important for holding companies that are vertically integrated. JustMetalsERP has partners in China, Mexico, and Brazil to ensure implementation success.
