Manufacturing
Through a state of the art ERP software, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Accreda can provide its clients the below list of features and functionality to help introduce the best manufacturing practices to local and international manufacturing companies.
Basic Manufacturing
Production Bill of Materials
Create bills of materials and calculate standard cost. Required for configuration of all other Manufacturing granules.
Production Orders
Create and manage production orders, and post consumption and output to the production orders. After you have created a production order, you can calculate net requirements based on that production order. Production Orders includes a manual supply planning tool as an alternative to automatic planning. The Order Planning window provides the visibility and tools you need to manually plan for demand from sales lines and then to create different types of supply orders directly.
Agile Manufacturing
Agile Manufacturing
This granule enables you to run Agile Manufacturing, Supply Planning, and Capacity Planning granules.
*Only available for Advance Management edition.
Version Management
Create and manage different versions of the manufacturing bill of materials and routings. You must purchase the Basic Capacity Planning granule before you can set up multiple versions of routings.
*Only available for Advance Management edition.
Supply Planning
Basic Supply Planning
Plan material requirements based on demand with support for master production scheduling and materials requirements planning. Includes:
- Automatic production orders and purchase orders.
- Action messages for fast and easy balancing of supply and demand.
- Support for bucketless and bucketed material requirements planning.
- Setup for items with their own reordering policy, including registration of whether they are manufactured by or purchased from a third party.
Demand Forecasting
Manage demand forecasting based on items.
*Only available for Advance Management edition.
Capacity Planning
Basic Capacity Planning
Add capacities (work centers) to the manufacturing process. Set up routings and use these routings on production orders and in material requirements planning. View loads and the task list for the capacities.
Finite Loading
Manage finite loading of capacity-constraint resources. Make more reliable plans by taking capacity constraints into account so that no more work is assigned to a work center than the capacities can be expected to execute during a given time period. Used with the Order Promising granule, Finite Loading also enables the system to calculate capable-to-promise (CTP).
*Only available for Advance Management edition.
Machine Centers
Add machine centers as capacities to the manufacturing process.
*Only available for Advance Management edition.
Production Schedule
View production orders and capacity loading in an integrated, graphical Gantt chart. Reschedule operations by dragging and dropping in a graphical interface to update the related production order data. This granule does not provide new scheduling functionality. Instead, it enables you to use a graphical interface for tasks otherwise done in tabular form in routings, task lists, load windows, and so on. By consolidating existing data and functions for capacity planning and scheduling in one graphical interface, this granule provides an improved overview and simplifies use for different user roles. This granule is targeted at smaller manufacturing companies, so it does not support the more advanced capacity planning features such as Finite Loading, and it is best suited for a limited amount of concurrent production orders.
