Production Planning and Control Module

The production planning and control module allows users to do fixed capacity planning, determine machine utilization, perform planned vs. actual production.

It includes the following features :

• Production Line Planning: Users can setup multiple manufacturing lines and specify types of machinery in each line. Then planned production styles can be “drag and dropped” onto these lines. The software will identify the production bottle-necks and alert if any delays are happening.
• Vendor Production Monitoring: Vendor production information can be uploaded through an interface file and analyzed for any problems.
• Raw Material Consumption: Raw material consumption against any work order can be tracked at each stage of the production process to determine any deviations in consumption from the standards.
• Critical Path Monitoring: The software identifies the critical path for the production process and sends out alerts if there is any slippage.
• Quality Control Reports: The quality controllers can key in easy-to-enter quality reports that can be summarized and analyzed (Pareto analysis etc.)
• Special Cutting and Lot management screens: APPS™ has special screens to monitor processes such as cutting and dye-lot management. These help companies achieve greater efficiency in this vital process.
• Summary Reports: Reports can be generated to review production efficiency on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Production incentive schemes can be tied in and productivity can be tracked over any time frame.
