Manufacturing

Planning

MRP that knows the plant and the supplier.

• Run MRP for one plant or for all of them
• Purchase proposals start earlier by the supplier's lead time
• Make or buy, with the preferred supplier on every proposal
• One link hands the buy proposals to the order application

Bills of material

Multi-level, with rules, exploded on screen.

• A structure panel opens the tree level by level
• AND rules, scrap factors, formulas and sequence
• A four-step setup guide on the BOM screen itself
• Where-used for any component

The floor

Lines, machines, and a barcode per task.

• A production line holds its machines; the operator picks one on the shop floor
• A label sheet per run, one Code 128 barcode per task
• Scan to start, complete or declare; every scan is kept
• Declaration with a reject reason and backflush

Orders and runs

Fabrication orders group the runs.

• One order, many runs, one status derived from them
• A production run straight off a sales order
• A dashboard of runs, tasks, proposals and shortages
• Work centre load per machine and per line

Stock

Every component with its stock and a shortage mark.

• Inputs with QOH and ATP; outputs and co-products
• Lot reservation by weight: a 500 kg coil held for one task
• Replace a component until it is issued
• Produce into a location

Cost

Standard, actual and variance, per task.

• Standard cost by material, labour and overhead
• Run costs per cost type, per task and for the run
• Machines with their load, workers assigned to the run
• Cost rows in the demo, so the page is never empty
