Demand forecasting integration with Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP)

Material and capacity planning through MRP and RCCP / CRP

Subcontracting by work center or operation

Batch / lot and serial number management

Configurable or Super Bill of Material (BOM) creation

Available To Promise (ATP) calculation for sales support

Graphical representation of work center load and production order scheduling

Pegging facility to track production orders

Shop floor print outs like route card, job card and job list per work center

Downtime analysis with different operation times

Engineering change management

Online quality control at each operation
Key Benefits

Increases production efficiency
Minimizes manufacturing lead time and meets customers’ demand with flexible
scheduling options

information

Controls utilization of manufacturing resources for optimum performance

Gains detailed cost analysis capabilities

Monitors new product developments

“What if” scenario analysis

Efficient tracking of WIP
Highlights

Dynamic BOM and routing definition with BOM tree structure
Confirming production plan through Sales and Operation Planning (SOP) and resource
planning at item group level
Consolidating demand through master scheduling from various sources like sales order,
production plan, new projects, etc.

Centralized supply planning integrated with Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP)
Master Production Scheduling (MPS) and RCCP to finalize the independent items
requirements

Forward and backward scheduling

Finite and infinite capacity planning
Action and exception messages in Material Requirements Planning (MRP) for optimized
material plan

Provision of online item availability
Production order rescheduling, rework order and direct order generation based on shop
floor reporting and urgent / new order

Effective WIP management

Control point reporting for repetitive manufacturing

Engineering change management & project

Flexible and configurable functional workflow

Order rescheduling and labor reporting
Key Process

Tools requirement planning can be mapped to BOM

Infinite and finite capacity

SOP to balance demand & supply

Resource planning to check whether resources are available to meet the SOP
Master scheduling consolidates the demand from sales orders, production plan,
replenishment order, service order for certain time period

Rough cut capacity planning to identify critical resources

MRP to explode the BOM, net quantity finalization, lead time calculation

Detailed amount of labor and machine resources defined in CRP

Process orders can be generated without any planning (manual)

Sub contracting can be carried out to resolve capacity constraints in-house

ECR & ECO to keep track of engineering changes
