Web Portal BPCS

When people think of web portals, they tend to think of systems designed for use by the public. In this situation, we are talking about a system designed for internal use by a company or companies undertaking a joint venture project. The purpose of the portal is to create a centralized online platform where all aspects of the projects can be managed, tracked and modified as appropriate. This is particularly useful for business with plants operating from different locations in the world.

BPCS stands for Business Planning Control System and is referred to as “B picks” by users. It is primarily a system used in manufacturing industries. The best known version and industry standard is the AS/400 Business Planning Control System.

A web portal BPCS is similar to traditional AS/4000 systems. Designed properly it will allow management of systems related to the manufacturing process. Because BPCS are highly modular, the systems have a lot of flexibility. Irrelevant processes can be cut out and added at later points in time. Regardless, a web portal BPCS system should be able to supply the traditional areas of the non-web system, to wit, financial, distribution, bar coding, applications and so on.

Security is a huge issue when it comes to web portal BPCS. By its nature, a BPCS platform contains extremely sensitive business secrets. This is particularly true for companies that have a unique manufacturing process. Using a web portal provides incredible flexibility and efficiency, but it also opens you up to the risk of industrial espionage. The best hackers in the world don’t try to swipe credit card numbers off of sites. They are hired to go after large corporate databases. If you pursue a web portal BPCS, it makes sense to have redundant security systems, encryption and rotating security protocols.

Web portal BPCS has revolutionized the manufacturing process in the global economy. If you can control security risks, efficiency, management and productivity will benefit.
