MMS’s Planning by order
How do our customers who make to order use MMS integration to make planning easier and give great feedback on make times against delivery times?
- Each machine belongs to a machine type (route)
- Each product is assigned a route or routes – which machine types they need to be processed on
- When an order list is imported the system creates an unplanned job for each machine type that the job’s product has a route for
- The outcome is a list of jobs that must be planned to meet your customers demand
- For example if you are making cartons and a product needs printing, cut/creasing and then gluing the import will create a job for each machine type
- The unplanned jobs created are then cut and pasted into the appropriate machine plans
- Every job has a delivery date as well as a forecast completion time to enable reporting of projected late deliveries
