Production planning that reflects reality.
Work centres, manufacturing orders, multi-level bills of materials, disassembly and rolled-up costing — under one operational record. Discrete, process or hybrid manufacturing; planned and actual production aligned in real time.
Work order = ledger record
A manufacturing order is the same record that consumes inventory, accrues labour and overhead, and posts the variance. One transaction, full traceability.
Multi-level BOM with version control
BOMs versioned with effectivity dates, substitutions, variants and configuration rules. The same BOM drives planning, costing and reverse logistics.
Real-time variance
Material, labour and overhead variance reported live. The closed work order is the same record the variance posts against — no batch reconciliation.
Discrete, process or hybrid
The same engine handles discrete assembly, batch / process manufacturing and mixed-mode operations. Routing and BOM structure adapts; the platform doesn't.
Standardised production capacity, defined and capacity-controlled.
Work centres with defined capacity, calendar, costing rate and operator skills. Routings describe the operation sequence; capacity planning sees the load across centres and adjusts on demand changes.
- Work centre definition — Work centres with calendar, shifts, capacity and cost rate per centre. Skills and qualifications captured against operators; the routing knows who can run what.
- Routing and operation sequence — Routings define operation sequence, setup time, run time, queue time and resource requirements. The same routing drives scheduling, costing and shop-floor sequence.
- Rough-cut capacity planning — Load visualisation across work centres against the planned production. Overloads visible early; the planner re-sequences or releases overflow.
- Shop-floor calendar — Shifts, breaks, planned downtime and maintenance windows captured against work centres. The schedule respects the calendar by construction.
From order release to closure — one record.
Manufacturing orders generated from sales orders (make-to-order), stock policy (make-to-stock) or master schedule. Released, dispatched to the floor, reported against in real time, closed with full cost capture.
- Order generation and release — Manufacturing orders generated from MRP, sales orders or planner action. Release validates material availability, capacity and routing readiness.
- Shop-floor reporting — Operation start, pause, completion, scrap and rework captured at the work centre — by mobile, terminal or scanner. Status visible to the supervisor in real time.
- Material consumption — Material consumption posted against the order — by backflush, by issue or by lot pick. Inventory ledger updates immediately; the WIP account is live.
- Order closure and costing — Closed orders capture actual material, labour and overhead. Variance against standard cost posts to the GL; the closed order is the audit-grade record.
Multi-level, version-controlled BOMs with variants and substitutions.
BOM structure with effectivity dates, version control, substitution rules and configuration variants. The same BOM is used by manufacturing planning, costing, engineering change and reverse logistics — one source of truth.
- Multi-level BOM with version control — BOMs with multi-level structure, version effectivity and engineering-change tracking. Changes proposed, reviewed, approved and released through a controlled workflow.
- Substitutions and alternates — Approved substitute components captured against the BOM line. When the primary is unavailable, the engine picks the substitute; the substitution is auditable.
- Configuration variants — Variant BOMs — by size, colour, configuration — handled in one master BOM with variant rules. The configurator runs server-side; the planner cannot release an invalid variant.
- Rolled-up cost — Standard cost rolled up from BOM and routing automatically. Impact analysis on cost change before release; the new standard does not slip through.
Take products apart with the same engine that builds them.
Disassembly orders use reverse BOM logic to break down returned, recycled or refurbished products. Recovered components return to stock; scrap posts to the variance account; the operation is fully auditable.
- Reverse BOM disassembly — Disassembly orders generated against a reverse-BOM definition. The operation knows which components are recoverable and which become scrap.
- Recovered component handling — Recovered components return to stock with grading (A, B, C) and refurbishment status. Available for re-use in production or for sale through the secondary channel.
- Scrap and recycle — Scrap quantities posted with reason codes and recycle disposition. The waste stream is traceable from receipt to disposition for sustainability reporting.
- Refurbishment routing — Refurbishment routings — clean, repair, test, recertify — handled as manufacturing operations against the recovered units. The refurbished unit is a new lot with full traceability.
Built on the supervised platform.
A work order is one record. Across release, material consumption, operation reporting, labour capture and closure, the record is the same. The variance does not need to be reconciled at month-end — it is the difference between the standard and the actual on the closed order. The audit trail is the transaction history; the cost report is a query against it.
