# Manufacturing Software in Buxton > Need manufacturing in Buxton? CubeERP implements and supports manufacturing software across Buxton, Derby, Chesterfield and Long Eaton and the wider Derbyshire area. **URL:** https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/manufacturing-software/derbyshire/buxton Being a regular route for our team from Olney, Buxton is somewhere we get to regularly. Discovery, training and go-live are all better done in the room, and at 91 miles that is entirely practical. ## Details - **Solution:** Manufacturing Software - **Group:** Production - **Platform:** CubeERP (https://cubeerp.co.uk/platform) - **Location:** Buxton, Derbyshire - **Distance from our Olney office:** 91 miles - a regular route for our team from Olney - **Postcode districts:** SK17 - **Also known as:** Manufacturing ERP, Production software, Works order system, Factory management software, Manufacturing management system, Shop floor control software ## Coverage We cover Buxton and the surrounding area, including Town Centre, Fairfield, Harpur Hill, Burbage and Buxton Business Park, across the SK17 postcode districts. We also work with businesses in Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton and Ilkeston and elsewhere in Derbyshire. ## What is included - **Multi-level bills of materials:** Assemblies, sub-assemblies, phantom levels, alternates and revision control - with where-used enquiry so you know what a component change affects before you make it. - **Routings and operations:** Operation sequences with set-up and run times, work centres, machines, skills and sub-contract steps, including parallel and overlapping operations. - **Works orders that live:** Issue, book, split, part-complete and close works orders, with shortages flagged before the job is released rather than discovered at the machine. - **Shop-floor booking:** Touchscreen terminals or tablets for clock-on, quantity completed, scrap reason and downtime cause, so the data comes from the floor rather than a weekly transcription. - **Traceability built in:** Batch and serial numbers carried through every level of the build, with certificates and test results attached, giving full genealogy in both directions. - **Cost as it happens:** Material, labour, machine and sub-contract cost accumulating against the works order in real time, compared with the estimate that won the job. ## Real-world use cases ### A whiteboard as the production system **Scenario:** A 60-person manufacturer scheduled from a magnetic whiteboard. It worked when everybody could see it, and stopped working the day a second shift started and half the team never walked past it. **Outcome:** The board is now a screen in three places, fed by works orders and shop-floor bookings. Priorities change once, centrally, and the second shift starts the right job. ### BOMs in a drawing office **Scenario:** Bills of materials lived in CAD exports and a spreadsheet maintained by the design team. Purchasing frequently bought to a superseded revision, and nobody found out until assembly. **Outcome:** BOMs are held with revision control and effectivity dates, and purchasing buys from the live revision. Obsolete-part purchases dropped to close to zero. ### Scrap that was never counted **Scenario:** Scrap was replaced from stock without a record. It was known to be "a few percent" and it was never quantified, so nobody could tell whether a process change had helped. **Outcome:** Scrap is booked with a reason code at the operation. Two causes accounted for most of it, one of which was a tooling issue fixed in a fortnight. ## Figures - **Live** Cost and progress from the shop floor - **Full** Genealogy, both directions - **Mixed** Make-to-order and make-to-stock together ## Frequently asked questions **Do you support make-to-order and make-to-stock?** Both, and mixed-mode - which is what most businesses actually run. Stocked items replenish to a plan while bespoke items are built against a specific order, on the same shop floor and in the same system. **Can it handle configured or bespoke products?** Yes. A configurator generates the bill of materials and routing from options and dimensions, so a one-off can be quoted, planned and built without an engineer rebuilding the BOM by hand each time. **What about sub-contract operations?** Sub-contract is a routing operation like any other. The purchase order is raised against the works order, material issued to the sub-contractor is tracked, and receipt books straight back into the job. **Will the shop floor actually use it?** It has to be quicker than what it replaces or it will not be. Booking is a large-target touchscreen or a scan, typically two or three taps, and it is designed for gloved hands and poor light rather than an office desk. **Do you integrate with machines or MES?** Yes, via the API and webhooks. Machine counters, test rigs and existing MES layers can post completions and downtime directly, and we would rather integrate a system that already works than replace it for the sake of tidiness. ## Related solutions - **MRP Software** - Net demand against stock, work in progress and inbound purchases to produce a buy list and a make list you can actually act on. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/mrp-software/derbyshire/buxton - **Production Planning Software** - Schedule works orders against real capacity - people, machines and shifts - and see the effect of a rush job before you accept it. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/production-planning-software/derbyshire/buxton - **Job Costing Software** - Know what every job actually cost - materials, labour, sub-contract and overhead - while it is running, not six weeks later. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/job-costing-software/derbyshire/buxton - **Stock Control Software** - Multi-location stock with bin locations, barcode scanning, batch and serial traceability, and figures that are right first time. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/stock-control-software/derbyshire/buxton ## Elsewhere in Derbyshire See https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/manufacturing-software/derbyshire for manufacturing software across Derbyshire. ## Contact - **Product:** CubeERP - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubeerp.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubeerp.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubeerp.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
