Manufacturing: Core Features
Execute multiple production strategies, including configure-to-order, assemble-to-order, make-to-stock, and make-to-order. Use both push and pull production control mechanisms.
Quickly schedule/reschedule jobs and simulate alternatives by dragging Gantt chart items.
Create, schedule, view, track, split, roll back, or categorise production orders.
Manage routing: Plan simple, sequential, and complex networks; use simultaneous routes in the same network. Use rough-cut capacity and detailed scheduling capabilities. Organise the shop floor into logical production units at individual sites.
Optimize production and materials planning, forecasting, and scheduling. Simultaneously schedule materials and capacity. Calculate available-to-promise (ATP) and capable-to-promise (CTP) deliveries.
Resolve scheduling overloads by reassigning operations to alternate work centres. Optimise scheduling across the organisation with a unified resource model and scheduling engine.
Understand WIP and actual cost through production tracking and reporting. Track detailed resource and throughput costs, including work center costs. Report production variances to standard costs.
