Who would able to provide them with data-driven solutions and design inventory, production, and fulfillment planners. The above would go towards providing a practical solution, on a case to case basis.
To choose the most appropriate method of production, which can reduce the inventory costs, working capital, planning of Capital Expenditure, CAPEX , etc. Your email address will not be published. Prin cipal Ke yword: inventory management Inventory planning is a challenging task, especially in respect of businesses, which have multiproduct and multistage manufacturing activities.
Schedules the production accordingly, and determines the date of availability of the product In this method, there is a firm order that place by the customer. A fulfillment planner, which would decide the eventual supply to the ultimate customer on time. Make-to-Order vs. What does that mean for your ERP system? ERP for Make-to-Order When you produce in response to orders, most importantly, your ERP system needs an intelligent link between the modules that handle sales and the modules that handle production.
Monitoring individual production runs for profitability and customer service. Flexibility on the production line. Quick and efficient inventory management. Key features to look for in an MTS scenario are: Strong statistical capabilities to support forecasting. Efficient production management.
About Us. When looking at production and inventory strategies, it is a good idea to look at how time affects your business model. More specifically, we need to look at the lead times and production times for your product.
How long should it take from the point a customer places an order to when they receive the product? How does production fit into this timeline? Does production take place before or after the order has been made?
These may seem like fairly simple questions but finding the specific answers takes hard work, intelligent planning, and a strategy that fits your product. We want to decrease lead times as much as possible but we also want to maximize production and quality while inhibiting cost, risk, and potential waste. Which one fits the needs of your operation, supply chain, inventory, and customers? Soft drink manufacturers need to pursue different strategies compared to car manufacturers.
As different as the products are, the methods they employ are equally different. And there are inherent advantages and disadvantages to every strategy. Make to Stock MTS is a conventional production and inventory strategy where businesses manufacture a product and fill their inventory to match forecasted customer demand. In this strategy, production occurs before demand has been explicitly stated.
Instead of receiving customer orders and manufacturing directly for each order, production and inventory levels are predetermined and sold according to the amount produced. Essentially this is a push manufacturing strategy. Since the product has already been made, this production method enables businesses to immediately fulfill orders when they come. If customer demand is accurately determined, then MTS is a fast and effective production strategy.
This is especially true for the customer as this will provide them with the desired product in the fastest method possible. The inherent difficulty with this method is that forecasted demand is rarely an absolute certainty. Scheduling logs are to be displayed automatically after every rescheduling if you set the automatic log indictor.
With an Active verison in the capacity of the work center with detailed entry of breaks and shift schedules, you can use this indicator to taken in to account the breaks in daily activities so that no job is scheduled in the break time. Scheduling using the production dates allows you to enter the production dates instead of the conventional basic dates in the order. The Shift Order Indicator is used when you dont want to consider the actual dates of the partially confirmed operation and proceed with rescheduling the entire order.
Wise use of this indicator is recommended. Reduction in operation lead time is to be indicated here. Configuring Confirmation Parameters Configuring Confirmation Parameters Confirmations parameters are to be set for orders types so as to allow confirmations as per the clients requirements. Confirmation is not receiving goods in stock, it is only about declaration production at each operation and in turn booking cost incurred in operational activities in the background.
The method or manner in which these confirmations would happen is configured here. I Generally Valid Settings A Checks of Sequence adherances Whether System should terminate confirmations Operation when the sequence is not adhered or whether the system should issue an warning message or whether the system should issue an information message when the sequence of operation confirmations is not followed.
Alternatively, there is an indicator which allows you to set no checking of the operation confirmation sequencing. When you are producing in an environment where there are many operations one after the other, not set in milestone or progressive confirmations, you should mandatorly think about adhering to the operation confirmations to be made in a sequence; in which case you may want to stop the confirmation when sequence is not followed or you may want to issue an warning or information if it is not followed.
Alternatively there may be cases of milestone control key used, where you may want to use sequence checks, where the task list may have many milestone operations set periodically in the list of operations. Here adhering checks make it easier. But when you have just one milestone operation at the end of the operation list, which confirms all the above operations, having checks is useless.
You may as well confirm at the order level. B Checks of underdelivery and overdelivery tolerances The checks govern whether you want a error message or a warning message when the quantity finally confirmed falls below the undelivery tolerance or above the overdelivery tolerance. These tolerance are the order level tolerances. C Checks for QM inspection results When you are using "In-process quality management", you would be recording results at the operation level for the operations marked for result recording and in such cases you can issue error or warning messages if you have not recorded results before confirmations of the operations.
D Date in Future is allowed If you select this indicator, you can set a future date of confirmation during confirmations.
An error message is issued if you use a future date in the absense of this setting. F Goods Movement - For all Components If you select this indicator, all the components of the component overview list are marked with a backflush indicator and are issued automatically in the background provided other information such as storage location, batch number if batch managed exists and stock is available for the goods issue.
That is, all the components are treated as backflush component regardless of whether the work center or the materials are marked with a backflsuh indicator or not. G Proposing Time unit for the Activity Confirmations When the activities are confirmed the time units can be defaulted as Hour or min or can be taken automatically from the cost center tab of the work center that is being confirmed. In automatic final confirmations, if the user confirms less than the quantity planned operation quantity or the order quantity with the overdelivery tolerance and underdelivery tolerances taken in to account then "partial confirmation" is set and if the user confirms equal to or more than the quantity planned operation quantity or the order quantity with the overdelivery tolerance and underdelivery tolerances taken in to account then the system marks it as "final confirmation".
When confirmations are entered for sub-operations, automatic confirmation is not possible. The proposal of 'Automatic final Confirmation' is changed to 'Partial confirmation' for suboperations. B Post Open Reservations When a final confirmation is created, you would normally want the open reservations to be closed, if you wish so, then you should select the "Post open reservation indicator".
What it means that, all the open reservations for the order will be closed, not only the reservations of the backflush items but the reservations of all the components would be closed tagging the components with a final issue indicator that is no more issues can be done for the components.
C Issue Error Log when errors in Actual Activity cost postings and Good Movements When the system issues errors in actual activity cost postings, the system would allow you to correct these errors, similarly when the system issues errors in actual goods movement posting backflushing or automatic goods receipt the system allows you to correct these errors.
If the goods movements is not to be corrected at this point of time, the system allows it to go ahead for post-processing in a transaction code called COGI. These failed goods movements are corrected in COGI later on and posted. The post-processing adds on an activity in the daily life of production D Issue Terminations when errors in Actual Activity cost postings and Good Movements But on the other hand if you select the "terminate for incorrect actual cost" or "terminate for incorrect goods movement" along with the "issue errors in actual cost or goods movement indicators", the system would not allow you to correct them and would abort the confirmations and postings.
III Operation Individual Entry using Selection Screen A Propose quantities Quantities that are yet to be confirmed for the operation or order are proposed by the system, if you select this indicator. C Display Default quantities If you select this indicator, quantities that are yet to be confirmed are displayed on the confirmation screen.
D Propose quantities for activities It is a know fact that when you are confirming an operation or order, you are confirming the quantities that are produced at the operation and the time taken in terms of minutes or hours to carry out the production at the operation, i.
Actual activities entered results in calculations of the actual costs. Thus it is a nice idea to propose the activities that are to be confirmed and that are yet to be confirmed. Activities that are yet to be confirmed for the operation or order are proposed by the system, if you select this indicator. F Display Defaults for Activities If you select this indicator, Activities that are yet to be confirmed are displayed on the confirmation screen.
G Propose Dates for confirmations Operations confirmation dates are to be proposed by the system as per the lead time, if you select this indicator. H Display Confirmed Dates Confirmation Dates of previously confirmed before this confirmation is displayed on the screen as information, if you select this indicator. I Display Defaults for Dates If you select this indicator, dates that are yet to be confirmed are displayed on the confirmation screen.
During confirmations it is a nice idea to enter the personnel data - who was the personnel producing the production quantities or who is the supervisor during the production activities.
L Select Operations with status Confirmed During Operation confirmation, the system throws out an initial pop-up that gives you information on all the operations and the confirmations made on the operations. Here you have to select the operation number that you want to confirm if you have not selected one in the initial screen. If you select this indicator, the system not only selects the operations that are left to confirm, but also selects all the operations that are previously confirmed.
M Select Confirmable Operations In the initial pop-up as explained above, the system only selects those operations which are not yet confirmed and does not show any information about the operations which are finally confirmed. This model will help th 14 0 KB Read more. MTO - Earthing Sr.
