Relevant, a Consona ERP solution, specifically addresses the unique needs of Aerospace and Defense (A&D) manufacturers. What that means to A&D customers is that the typical “work-a-rounds” with non industry-specific enterprise solutions simply don’t exist with Relevant.

In their place is modularity designed to enable manufacturers to better estimate, measure, control, and report by department, project or task/work breakdown levels, without imposing additional recording requirements on other operational departments or driving unneeded complexity into the GL chart of accounts.

Key Relevant A&D Industry solutions are:

• Earned Value management support, with all Financial, Cost, Project, and Earned Value (EV) impacts provided from a single point of entry
• Project workbench, with one click access to specific project costs and status in real time
• Full lot, serial, and revision control
• MRP by project
• Real-time high level business planning
• Milestones for EV and/or billing impact and the ability to drive resource requirements via task management milestones
• Multi-division/plant/warehouse supply chain support, multi-financial company support, and centralized/decentralized customer order management, engineering and purchasing
• Full document control and quality tracking
• Business process management required for DCAA/DCMA authorizations
