Basic Manufacturing

Production Orders

§  Production orders (including simulated, planned, firm planned, released and finished orders) created and handled

§  Production orders planned from sales orders as standard, project, or multiline

§  Reservation system provides for hard and soft allocation

§  Blanket orders created for the efficient execution of long-term contracts

§  Serial and lot number processing handled

§  Flexible costing system provided for standard, average, FIFO, LIFO and specific costing

§  Production reports produced (for example, “where used” reports)

§  Costs tracked and landed costs handled

Production Bill of Materials

§  Production Bills Of Material (BOMs), including phantom BOMs, created

Version Management

§  Versions of manufacturing bills of materials and routings created and handled

Supply Planning

Basic Supply Planning

§  Order promising provides for both available-to-promise (ATP) and capable-to-promise (CTP)

§  Multilocation planning facilitates efficient information and material flow through the supply chain

§  Intelligent MRP scheduling (incl. regenerative, net change and action message planning)

§  Interactive action messaging—for the immediate balancing of supply and demand

§  Simultaneous planning of materials, capacities and costs

§  Item availability windows allow planners to instantly view the results of MRP

§  Multiple worksheets for reviewing various production options

§  Make or buy decisions implemented on the fly

§  Variants in planning

Demand Forecasting

§  Forecast and Master Production Schedule (MPS)

Capacity Requirements Planning

Basic Capacity Planning

§  Shop calendar and work shifts

§  Routings

§  Parallel scheduling

§  “Send ahead” functionality for Just-in-Time (JIT) production

§  Routing link codes for automatic flushing per operational steps on the routing

§  Scrap and stop codes can be defined to reduce data entry

§  Automatic flushing of the work or machine center provides automatic recording of expected output

§  Subcontracting by work center or operation

Machine Centers

§  Allocates work and machine centers as capacities to the manufacturing process

Finite Loading

§  Finite loading of capacity constrained resources

§  Capacity constraints taken into account (to help planners make more reliable plans)
