Microsoft Dynamics AX for Manufacturing & Production Scheduling

Microsoft Dynamics AX is one of the most reliable ERP solutions for companies into Manufacturing & Production Scheduling. The Manufacturing & Production module in one of the finest Microsoft Dynamics ERP Solutions ever gives to managers real-time insights into their businesses and also provides advanced features that help figure out the best possible ways to increase efficiency in production. Managers can use the features in this module to figure out ways to cut down on overall costs.

How does the Manufacturing & Production Scheduling Module help companies heavily into Manufacturing & Production?

1. They get to make their manufacturing processes more profitable

2. They get to create independent production orders on the basis of proposals through master scheduling

3. They get to manage Bills of Material better and have a quick and reliable overview of the entire manufacturing process

4. They get to gauge customer demands better through flexible capacity scheduling, either scheduling processes forward or backward from any date

1. They get to define what their manufacturing resources would be such as machines, employees, tools etc.

2. They get to schedule at various levels of detail, such as operations scheduling for work center groups and job scheduling for individual work centers

3. They get to determine what kind of capacities, finite or infinite, should be used for particular work centers and work center groups

4. They get to use features such as “next best” in order to cut down on time spent waiting for an available work center and “best fit” which helps out with selecting that particular work center which offers the shortest lead time

1. They get to minimize lead times by creating cross-group links between resources good enough to handle identical tasks to ensure most efficient scheduling

2. They get to cut down on setup time through properties that help schedule operations requiring similar work center setups concurrently

3. The ERP through the module delivers advanced facilities for sequence and bottleneck scheduling that help reduce setup times and formulate controlled plans

4. The module when customized appropriately by a Microsoft Dynamics Partner in Australia helps finish sub-contracting for both partial as well as full production orders via material flow and planning

1. Through this data, companies get to manage production issues such as planned production orders, production start times, capacity loadings, delivery dates and material availability better

2. They get to do detailed job monitoring in order to get a clear overview of activities happening at individual work centers, which further help assess production performances correctly

3. Companies get to fully use the Job Scheduling Gantt Charts in the module for a real-time graphical overview of their Production schedules in order to make tactical, day-to-day changes that help optimize production flows

1. Companies get to choose the most viable and suitable route for a particular operation

2. They get to setup and maintain multiple routine versions which include network routes in order to avoid bottlenecks and maximize production efficiencies

3. Companies will enjoy the benefits of routes being assigned automatically and will also get to specify the amount of scrap and calculate the time that every operation will roughly consume

1. They do not have to get into too much of manual data entry. They get to cut down drastically on lead times and also satisfy customer demand through flexible scheduling options

2. They get to control the utilization of their manufacturing resources in order to extract optimal performances

3. They get to track production progress at every step and make changes to intensify production efficiencies

All these various tasks that can be taken towards completion through the Manufacturing & Production Module in AX are proof of how good the module is when implemented with the premier ERP. Manufacturing and Production personnel could not have asked for more. They get to accomplish so much at work and find so many tasks easy to undertake through some really outstanding features.
