Del Mar, California; June 1, 2006 - Beach Access Software, in partnership J H B One Consulting of Paris, announces the release of the French language version of E-Z-MRP(TM), an integrated Material Requirements Planning system for small- and medium-sized manufacturers.
Jacques Blamont, president of J H Bone Consulting, started the company in 1994 to assist large manufacturers in the selection and implementation of ERP systems and has implemented SAP ERP solutions in more than a dozen companies. Now, the firm is devoting itself to the same kind of services for small manufacturers.
"I knew of E-Z-MRP in 1995 in the DOS version. When I heard that E-Z-MRP had been converted to Windows I immediately proposed making a French version," said Blamont. "I believe that even very small companies cannot survive if they do not have an extremely simple system of production and inventory management based on MRP. And E-Z-MRP fills that need."
E-Z-MRP was first released under the DOS operating system in 1985 and achieved great success and widespread use with customers around the world. The software has been successfully implemented in a wide variety of manufacturing environments and works equally well in job shop, build-to-order, build-to-stock, and build-to-forecast operations. It has also been used as an instructional aid in universities.
The system's greatest strength is its simplicity of operation. "Anyone who can read and count to 20 can run E-Z-MRP," said Rocky Smolin, President of Beach Access Software. "It is the ideal first system for a small company or as a stepping stone to a larger system. However, none of the essential features you need in a manufacturing have been compromised."
E-Z-MRP is written in Microsoft's Access Database Management System, a component of the popular Microsoft Office Suite, making it compatible with a number of third-party products.
"E-Z-MRP made running an MRP system possible for hundreds of small manufacturers who had neither the time, the money, nor the expertise to implement a conventional manufacturing system," Smolin said. "E-Z-MRP in this new release continues this philosophy. It is still arguably the simplest approach to MRP and the easiest to implement of any MRP system in software history."
The package includes a full-featured Bill of Materials processor, plus a material planning and tracking module which tracks all sales orders, forecasts, work orders (planned, firm, and released), purchase orders, shortages, raw materials, and finished goods inventories. It also records a complete audit trail on all inventory transactions. Also included in E-Z-MRP are a physical inventory function, capacity planning, and a purchase order module for printing purchase orders.
And, like previous versions, E-Z-MRP supports multiple databases, making it easy to do simulations or answer "what-if" questions without disrupting the production database.
This new release of E-Z-MRP supports both French and English. And the two languages can be mixed on the same installation.
The total cost of E-Z-MRP is $2,995 for the version restricted to 500 parts, and $9,800 for the unlimited version. This is a fraction of the cost of systems with similar power and capabilities. It will run on any Windows-based PC or network, and requires only Access 2000 or Access XP to run.
