                                        4 Product Data Management provides the 
                                        management tools you need to fully develop 
                                        and maintain your complete engineering 
                                        database. Product Data Management streamlines 
                                        the process of building and maintaining 
                                        a complete manufacturing database of parts 
                                        and Bills of Material (BOM's) by providing 
                                        an easy-to-use graphical environment featuring 
                                        "drag and drop" technology. To build your 
                                        parts database, users simply enter engineering, 
                                        accounting and manufacturing information; 
                                        the Bills of Materials process then establishes 
                                        engineering relationships between manufactured 
                                        parts and their components. Access is 
                                        easy, maintenance becomes simple, and 
                                        you can change, add or delete parts and 
                                        BOM information with no interruption to 
                                        the manufacturing process.  The optional Engineering Change Notice 
                                        (ECN) process enables you to track and 
                                        implement product changes. ECN works 
                                        in conjunction with Sales Order Processing, 
                                        Purchase Order, MRP and Inventory Control. 
                                         Whether your mode of manufacturing 
                                        ranges from a job shop environment to 
                                        complex design and assembly, FlexGen 4 
                                        Product Data Management will deliver the 
                                        power and versatility your engineering 
                                        department demands. By using FlexGen 
                                        4 Engineering you can: 
                                        Establish quick and easy parts management 
                                          policies, scheduling, production and 
                                          costing parameters.
 
Copy from one part to another selected 
                                          information or all with easy "except 
                                          for" changes.
 
Set up multiple cross-references to 
                                          an individual part, for ease of part 
                                          identification and access.
 
Choose from multiple costing methods 
                                          to best fit your production mode.
 
"Drill down" through multiple level 
                                          BOM's to analyze structure, costs, history, 
                                          parts availability and future activity.
 
Implement at your option a complete 
                                          "Engineering Change Notice" environment 
                                          if your production process demands it.
