These processes include; complex MRO processes, manufacturing processes for FDA compliancy, integrated quality management processes (Design/Process FMEA, SPC, QS9000), order-to-delivery processes for complex to-order manufacturers, design and procurement for fabless companies, financial reporting and control, and design and supply chain management.

By focusing on industry specific processes, IFS Applications helps companies gain the competitive advantage they need to succeed in a rapidly changing business environment.

A Company-Wide Perspective on Lifecycle Management

IFS offers a simple and integrated lifecycle management solution, enabling companies to share knowledge and gain real-time access to information and processes across the entire company. When information on customers, products, and assets is easily accessible throughout the same system, users get the right information, at the right time, to make the right decisions.

Qualifying customers and predicting their needs is easier when information from all parts of the company is captured and viewed by all. Enterprise-wide access to product information shortens product development time by including experiences and customers’ needs from after-sales and service directly into the development process.

Easy Co-Existence & Integration

In an era of global consolidation, companies need to be able to integrate new systems with legacy systems and existing installations in smaller pieces, rather than exchange an entire system. The IFS Service Oriented Architecture gives companies a fast, step-by-step implementation process allowing them to gain rapid payback with each component they install.

With IFS Applications, international customers can consolidate IT-operations, systems integration, maintenance, support, and upgrades by running only one installation of IFS Applications that serves many sites in several countries. A device independent "on-line when available" mobile framework automatically synchronizes off-line work done by employees.
