Finishing up with CRM

Well, we're getting much closer to finishing the CRM project for Stone Interiors. They've been importing their live data for further testing, and everything is going well. We're concurrently doing the Inventory system, and have started on the Purchasing system. After that we'll head to the Scheduling system. Here's a link to some info about Scheduling.

For Inventory, each one of the slabs of stone is assigned a unique ID, and we're getting a Thermal Bar Code printer to print that label, using some ZPL. I haven't used ZPL before, but we have a couple of samples that we can test when we get the printer later this afternoon. It'll be fun to see how the ZPL format works.

In a previous post I'd mentioned that I've started a Total Quality Management blog. We also have a nice site dealing with TQM. We also have a blog about Agile Manufacturing Systems.
