Hey,
My company is seeking ISO 9000 certification with the AS901 addition I think it is, the areospace addition anyway. Were a small company so I've had Management Rep, Document Control Manager, and IT (the entire department I supose) kind of all dimped on me. As part of this I have kind of been spear heading a search for an integrated shop management software package to kind of go along with all of this. I was wondering who has gone through this process, what advice you might have, and what software your company might use, plus weather you are happy with that choice or not and would choose it again or not.
Just for a little information we are a small CNC job shop of 4 4 axis CNC mills and 5 CNC lathes. We do mostly small parts for mostly areospace firms. We do just parts and not assemblies.
Right now I have been looking very hard at the E2 software package from shoptech but I'm very leary of falling for the basic package only to find out that we really did need that advanced scheduling package or the quality package after all and end up doubling our cost. We have looked at Job Boss as well, but it really is pretty dang axpensive, especially when extra seats are added.
Anyway, if anyone does have any advice or input on this it would be greatly appreciated.
