Additional Product Information
Production Manager is focused on the integration-not replication-of data. Information is gathered, standardized, and distributed electronically, to insure that changes in one schedule or department are reflected throughout the organization. Built-in features reinforce this concept: 1) Production estimating is possible at different stages in the product life cycle, with the ability to create many working versions and the potential to freeze the approved version at each formal stage, 2) Purchase and print orders are vendor-specific and equipped with EDI functionality, 3) Standard report package provides analytical and organizational tools for process and financial management, 4) Publication schedules detail key activities, with password-protected capability to create sub-schedules and links to different schedules, 5) Editorial P&L statements can be generated from one source without re-keying of data, 6) Timely alerts of potential scheduling problems early in the process helps avoid last-minute rework or redesign, 7) Title status reports can be easily created and modified, and are linked to production schedules. Recent reference: "We conducted a comprehensive review of the existing systems in the marketplace before we ultimately chose VISTA's Production Manager. We benchmarked VISTA's Production Manager against other systems and it was the one that proved that it could actually do everything it reported it would. Production Manager will aid HarperCollins (UK) in streamlining its production process and will automatically integrate all necessary information across our network of suppliers and staff."
