Production Planning

Production Planning is used by enterprise planners to balance the production quantities, factory’s production capacity, forecast quantities and customer demand within a specific period

Planning Policy

The Master Production Schedule is a master plan developed for production, inventory, and manpower, etc. whereby it sets the quantity of each end item to be completed for a short-term planning horizon. It gives production, planning, purchasing, and senior management the information needed to plan and control the manufacturing operation

• Establish multiple MPS/MRP planning schemes within an organization.
• Support settings of BOM-Routing matching rules and kitting analysis for BOM parent materials and sub-materials.
• Ability to generate rescheduling proposals by MPS planning.

MPS/MRP Planning

The Master Production Schedule (MPS) will deliver detailed material and production requirements to the Material Requirement Planning (MRP)

• Support multi-organizational collaboration planning and multi-step planning for a single production entity.
• Support planner-based MPS planning
• Support phantom processing
• When considering manufacturing factors, economic quantities and batches, demand orders can be combined for scheduling.

Planning Order and Fulfilment

Effectively plan production and procurement based on net demand calculated by the system.

The Planned Order is the proposal that planners can interactively convert to purchase requisition for external procurement or internal production. MRP creates planned orders based on calculated net demand and the available capability.

• Allow visibility of the planned orders list by summaries, supply-demand matching details, demand details and supply details using query parameters.
• Enable tracking of demand sources based on the planned order generated from the MRP Planning.

Task Management

Establish a complete project budget management system and link the budget contract payments to control the cost strictly.

Target Cost Management
