PRONTO-Xi Manufacturing Planning provides a range of tools to optimise materials and capacity planning over single or multiple sites. Demand is aggregated through a network of distribution centres, using actual orders and forecasts, DRP/MRP or Min/Max replenishment logic. PRONTO-Xi has the planning tools to best match the level of complexity required by the business with support for both Finite Scheduling and Infinite Scheduling.PRONTO-Xi Manufacturing Planning uses Production Plans, Master Production Schedules (MPS), Materials Requirements Planning (MRP), Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP), Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) Super Bills, Planning BOMs and supply/demand data from the inventory and distribution system to create a list of planned orders. After verification by the planner, work orders or purchase orders can be automatically generated, in bulk, grouped by product or other operational requirements. Planning enquiry screens typically provide single keystroke access to source documents and maintenance functions. Exception messages and action lists are generated by the system, while capacity and materials information can be displayed graphically. Our comprehensive planning capabilities include:
- Creation of planned work order requirements for components and sub-assemblies;
- Planning the completion dates for these work orders by using lead time;
- Print of released planned orders and exception reports.
