Production
Order and Production Proposals (MRP)
With Material Requirements
Planning, or MRP for short, proposals for purchase orders and
production orders are generated. In this process, the confirmed
delivery date, the general safety period, the customer lead time and
the replacement time for raw materials, for example, are deducted
from the required date to determine the latest order or production
date. These dates are clearly displayed with a reference to their
cause, allowing you to decide when exactly you want to start
production.
Order-related and Anonymous Production
In contrast to order and production
suggestions, order-related production/procurement is also available.
This allows you to create an order for an n-stage production order
or a purchase order for external articles directly from the
customer's order. If the delivery date of the order changes, this is
automatically forwarded to all linked work orders. Semi-finished
products can then be sent to the external manufacturer for
processing with an accompanying document.
n-stage Production
The management of BOMs and
subassemblies is one of the central core features required by every
machine, plant or device manufacturer. To do this, you can define
articles as individual articles, modular or multi-level bills of
materials. And this of course also automated with the help of a CAD
import. These are resolved and calculated down to the last level
both for scheduling, requirements determination and production.
Projects with Growing Bills of Materials
Growing BOMs still pose a challenge
to most ERP and MPC systems. The so-called project work order solves
this problem once and for all. You can import new versions of your
CAD drawings at any time, and all BOMs can easily be expanded using
the drawing numbers. By clicking on the tree structure, you can
release entire branches and then convert them into articles, request
prices, order them or produce them directly. Work sequences can be
summarized and processed as a so-called 'pool' work sequence. Having
thousands of work orders is now a thing of the past.
Tool-based joint-product production
In joint-product production (also
co-production or combined production), additional by-products are
produced using tools. By means of the joint-product order you have
an easy way to reproduce this production process. You can store your
tools and the associated products in the tool master record. In the
checkback of a joint-product production order, either the production
figures or the production times are credited to the durability
period of the tool, with its maintenance being proposed when the
maintenance interval is reached. By specifying cavities, you can
specify the distribution key for your article production.
Time and Materials Acknowledgement
With the acknowledgement, you
simply select an open production, project or joint-product order and
specify the quantity produced, the possible rejections and the
production status of the work sequence. For materials, you can now
also select batch or serial numbers as well as the storage location.
In the background, all required materials, rejections and times for
the final cost of the production order are recorded, and on
completion, also the entry of the article into the warehouse.
