NPI Home window and navigation

The NPI Home window has a menu bar at the top of the window and corresponding large buttons to help you navigate and access various NPI areas: Process Engineering, Libraries, Logistics, Templates and Standards, and System Configuration.

Tip

Use the toolbar to quickly navigate to any NPI area from any other area. (You can also drag from left-to-right in the NPI window to scroll horizontally from one area to another.)

Process Engineering

Process Engineering features help you define and manage manufacturing process definitions, parts and assemblies, process revisions and change notices, project schedules, products, and just-in-time reroutes. You can also import process definitions from earlier versions of FactoryLogix.

Libraries

Libraries gives you access to libraries for parts, assemblies, documents, vendors, customers, and conditions and actions used in process definitions.

Logistics

In Logistics, you can define receiving processes and manage other aspects of manufacturing such as kit group setup, inventory, production planning, containers (packaging), and batches.

Templates and Standards

Templates and Standards provides everything you need to set up factory resources, define manufacturing quality standards, and create and save templates for every aspect of manufacturing: processes, barcodes, printed labels, vendor labels, work instructions, operator interfaces, and task flows. You can also define approval processes, manage dispositions, and set up global operations.

System Configuration

NPI System Configuration controls many aspects of the FactoryLogix system including licensing, users and roles, integration services, database archiving, and xLink configuration.
