with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
Manufacturing
Microsoft Dynamics Business Central can handle any kind of manufacturing operation. Whether you are a make-to-order furniture producer, a make-to-stock producer of nuts and bolts, an engineer-to-order of complex machines or a process manufacturer producing lubricants for engines, Dynamics Business Central has you covered.
Work Centres
Set up work centres for each of your operations. Use them to capture labour cost and machine cost and monitor the status of each of your production orders.
Group multiple Machine Centres into a work centre to consolidate calendars and pool resources.
Production BOM and Routing
Set up production bills of materials (BOMs) for easy consumption. Create multi-level BOM hierarchies to achieve a high level of agility in your production.
Combine work centres into Routings to control how your materials flow through your operations.
Subcontracting and Monitor
Manage materials sent to subcontractors by setting up subcontracting work centres.
Monitor the status of all your production orders. Which orders are behind schedule? Where do you need to take action?
Shop Calendars and Simulations
Set up shop calendars for each of your work centres to monitor the load and take action on future bottle necks.
When quoting your customers for a new bespoke project, use the simulated production orders to calculate the cost of manufacturing.
MRP and Forecasting
Use the material requirements planning (MRP) engine to calculate what materials are required for which production orders. MRP will suggest semi-finished productions as well as new purchase orders.
Use the forecasting functionality to plan your manufacturing for the next quarter or year.
Assembly and Project Orders
If the full manufacturing functionality is overkill, use the assembly module to manage simple assembly and kitting operations.
Dynamics NAV Business Central enables you to efficiently plan project production orders based on the sales orders and demand forecasts.
