Opcenter Planning

Planning for Bill of Materials (BOM) can be expanded into its list of raw materials. The production plan for these items can then be calculated. Based on the BOM and the production plan, the proposed materials purchase requirements can be exported to an ERP system or Excel for action.

Replenish raw materials and component inventories to ensure production readiness and flow. MTO planning requires close coordination of the entire supply chain and an ongoing evaluation of future demand changes, including their effects on the manufacturing environment.

Generate accurate and achievable master production schedules (MPS). Consider the following: rough cut capacity, pack-forward figures, target days of stock cover, manufacturing preferences, minimum and maximum reorder quantities, reorder multiples, and product shelf life. Production capacity can be specified as a quantity, duration or weight.
