Demand Forecasting
Predict product demand using historical and market data.
Estimate future production needs by analyzing past sales, seasonal trends, and customer orders to ensure timely material availability.
- Sales Data Integration: Auto-fetch data from sales module for analysis.
- Trend Analysis: Identify seasonal and product-wise demand patterns.
- Forecast Accuracy Reports: Compare forecast vs. actual demand.
Production Planning
Plan production to balance demand, capacity, and resources.
Create optimized production plans to meet customer orders efficiently while minimizing idle time and overproduction.
- Master Production Schedule (MPS): Align production with forecasted demand.
- Resource Allocation: Assign machines, manpower, and tools efficiently.
- Lead Time Calculation: Determine required time for each production stage.
Capacity Planning
Ensure production capacity matches planned workloads.
Analyze available resources, machine utilization, and labor efficiency to avoid bottlenecks in the production process.
- Work Center Load Analysis: Evaluate machine and labor load distribution.
- Overload Detection: Identify over-utilized work centers in advance.
- Alternative Routing: Suggest alternate machines or shifts when overloaded.
Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
Calculate required raw materials for upcoming production.
Integrate with BOM, inventory, and purchase modules to ensure the right materials are available at the right time.
- BOM Integration: Derive material needs directly from production BOMs.
- Inventory Check: Compare required vs. available stock levels.
- Auto Purchase Requisitions: Trigger PRs for shortages automatically.
Scheduling & Dispatching
Convert plans into actionable schedules for production lines.
Define job priorities, allocate start/end times, and dispatch work orders to optimize shop floor operations.
- Job Sequencing: Minimize setup time between jobs.
- Real-time Dispatch: Send work orders directly to production terminals.
- Rescheduling: Adjust dynamically for rush orders or delays.
Monitoring & Control
Track production progress and control deviations.
Monitor real-time production data to ensure adherence to plans and quickly respond to changes or issues.
- Live Dashboards: Display progress vs. planned schedule.
- Deviation Alerts: Automatic alerts for delays or quality issues.
- Performance KPIs: Track OEE, downtime, and yield efficiency.
Reports & Analytics
Analyze production performance and planning accuracy.
Generate analytical reports for decision-making and continuous improvement in production planning and control.
- Plan vs. Actual Reports: Compare planned production with achieved output.
- Utilization Analysis: Assess efficiency of machines and manpower.
- Cost & Time Analysis: Review production cost per batch or order.
