Sage 200 Evolution Manufacturing Enhancement

Manufacturing simplified into 4 clear actions.

Tjopper takes a complicated manufacturing environment and breaks it down into Cutting, Assembly, Value Add and Moving — giving manufacturers maximum flexibility through a simpler, controlled process.

Manufacturing can be complicated. Tjopper breaks it down into its simplest form.

Instead of treating every production scenario as a separate problem, Tjopper uses 4 practical building blocks that can be combined for almost any manufacturing flow.

The Tjopper model

All manufacturing simplified into one of 4 things.

This simplification gives manufacturing companies flexibility without losing control, costing accuracy or Sage 200 Evolution posting integrity.

1

Cutting

eg. nesting and laser cutting

Start with plate nesting that enables a controlled laser cutting workflow.

  • Import CAD / nesting information
  • Maximise plate utilisation
  • Reduce waste and offcuts
  • Create and value remnant stock
  • Prepare parts for follow-on processes
2

Assembly

build flexible products
🏗️

Use nested parts, components and sub-assemblies to build simple or complex products.

  • Multi-level assembly structures
  • Flexible BOM-like relationships
  • Make-to-order or make-to-stock
  • Accurate component requirements
  • Links cutting output to finished goods
3

Value Add

eg. bending and painting
🛠️

Route work through processes that add time, cost, quality and value.

  • Bending, painting, welding or machining
  • Process-time and cost capture
  • Overhead allocation
  • Quality and consistency control
  • Visibility before final assembly
4

Moving

eg. shipping and transfers
🚚

Move stock, WIP or finished goods between process areas, warehouses and locations.

  • WIP warehouse movement
  • Transfers between locations
  • Ship finished items
  • Trace where stock moved
  • Keep Sage stock aligned

Focus area 1: Cutting

Plate nesting that enables laser cutting.

Tjopper puts plate nesting first because cutting is often where material usage, waste, remnants and downstream production control begin.

  • Import part and nesting information
  • Calculate material usage and utilisation
  • Track offcuts and create remnant stock
  • Connect cut parts to assembly and value-add routes

Additional advantages

Maximum flexibility because the process is simpler.

Once manufacturing is reduced to 4 clear actions, the same framework can support many different products, routes and production environments.

Better control

End-to-end visibility from job creation to posting in Sage 200 Evolution.

Increased efficiency

Automated routing, job creation and posting reduce manual work and errors.

Accurate costing

Capture material usage, process time, overhead and WIP movement.

Reduced waste

Improve utilisation, track offcuts and recover value from remnants.

Shop-floor visibility

Scan jobs, track actual process time and keep production status visible.

Data integrity

Keep Sage 200 Evolution as the stock and accounting system of record.

Simple, connected, controlled

The workflow from job creation to posted transaction.

Tjopper connects the simplified manufacturing model to practical daily execution.

Built around Sage 200 Evolution

Manufacturing execution with Sage as the backbone.

Tjopper enhances the manufacturing workflow while Sage 200 Evolution remains the stock, warehouse and financial system of record.

Operational flexibility

Use the 4-action model to support cutting, assemblies, value-add work, WIP movement, backflushing, remnants and shop-floor control.

Controlled posting

Prepare work operationally and then post stock and GL transactions back into Sage 200 Evolution through controlled, auditable processing.
