The system offers a full featured material control system from engineering to purchasing and production control. Click here to see the system.

Purchasing: MAT-PAC accommodates real-world purchasing problems, including use of foreign funds, federal and state sales taxes, freight, bulk purchases, blanket purchase orders, quick purchase orders, a library of standardized purchase order terms and conditions, required versus purchased units-of-issue and order quantities.

Material Cataloging: Shipyard material is managed by drawing, requisition, standard part, stock number, or manufactured part. It also is managed by contract work breakdown structure, ship product, and production work order.

Job Costing: The system produces a variety of material job cost reports (including integration with labor costs) and up to the minute schedule status to keep management informed at all times. These reports comply with government contract requirements.

Bar Code: Options are available for bar code delivery tagging, physical inventory, and issues to production.

Systems Integration: MAT-PAC can be integrated directly with the labor planning and management system, WORK-PAC. This allows production work orders to be developed with detailed material pallet requirements that have material order and location status. MAT-PAC also can be integrated directly with the project scheduling system, PERT-PAC. This enables purchasing deliveries to be coordinated with staged in-yard dates for production (by hull block or ship zone, for example). Automated scheduling takes into account special problems of long lead items and the demands on engineering to produce specifications in time to meet material ordering deadlines.

MAT-PAC can be easily interfaced or integrated with various financial software products, including general ledger, accounts payable systems, and accounts receivable, whether on the same computer platform or another.
