Solutions / Manufacturing and quality
Advanced manufacturing
Adds what SAP Business One does not know about manufacturing: work centres and routings, work orders with operations, shop-floor data capture, finite-capacity scheduling, MRP, quality, subcontracting, maintenance, and costing before and after the job.
The problem it solves
SAP Business One can hold a bill of materials and post a production order, but it does not know how long an operation takes, whether the machine is free next Tuesday, who worked on it, or what the job really cost. Planning happens on a whiteboard, and cost is known only when the month is closed.
What it does
- Work centres and routings: each operation with its machine, setup time and run time
- Work orders that schedule themselves back from the due date, and warn when they cannot make it
- Shop-floor terminals: badge, order, operation, start, finish, good and scrap quantities
- A planning board that sequences operations against real capacity
- MRP from demand to what must be bought or made
- Pre-calculation and post-calculation of cost, element by element
What changes for the business
- Promise dates are based on capacity, not on hope
- The real cost of each job is known when it finishes
- Bottleneck machines are visible a week ahead instead of on the day
