Navision Manufacturing & MRP

Organizing information from available resources and all component parts into clear, telling capabilities is among the most simplifying functions of your Enterprise Resource Planning system. For all of the complications of your products between lead times and component complexity, Navision can pool this information together that you manage your resources and speak to your capabilities and avoid getting caught up in the minutia of MRP. You will be prepared to speak to order promising.

Automated Data Capture

Collect and use accurate inventory data in real time and increase the visibility of data throughout your business to improve warehouse efficiency.

Machine Center Allocation

Allocated work and machine centers as capacities to streamline planning. Apply finite loading calculations to capacity-constrained resources to optimize machine centers and increase planning accuracy.

Supply Planning

Plan from the sale orders, production order, or purchase requisition, or use traditional master production schedule (MPS) or material requirements planning (MRP). Facilitate materials flow through the supply chain with multi-location planning. Update and change all materials, costs, and operations simultaneously.

Cost Budgeting

Understand item costs throughout the production process-including inventory, WIP, and cost of goods sold (COGS). Tighten control of closing process, improve batch job costing, and streamline reconciliation with the general ledger.

Bills of Material (BOMs)

Tightly integrate different types of BOMs and customized definitions into manufacturing operations to improve performance while supporting time-to-market and time-to-volume objectives. Create, track, and process multiple versions of BOMs and routings.

Multiple Costs

Manage alternative costs for resources and groups that are fixed or based on an additional percentage or fixed charge, with the ability to define multiple work types.

Manual Planning

Simplify supply planning and make decisions on an order-by-order basis by using an alternative to printed production schedules that is designed for smaller businesses.

Capacity Planning

Implement realistic plans according to incoming resource capacity demands, and redefine order modifiers and reorder policies as needed. Accommodate changing shop floor workloads and simplify planning with calendars.

Order Promising

Promise orders with available-to-promise (ATP) and capable-to-promise (CTP).

Graphical Scheduling

Access an overview of production schedules displayed in Gantt charts and use drag-and-drop functionality to reschedule operations, with changes reflected in the relevant production order.

Role Centers

Production Planner, Shop Supervisor, Shop Supervision Manufacturing Foundation, Machine Operator

Business Intelligence

Make informed, confident decisions with graphical displays, online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes, and Web-based delivery options.

Warehouse and Inventory Management

Integrate manufacturing and warehousing functionality to optimize warehouse layout and space utilization, and maintain up-to-date inventory information.

Demand Forecasting

Analyze sales patterns from multiple perspectives. Compare forecasted demand with actual sales and consolidate and distribute demand plans with multiple stakeholders to increase collaborative planning.

Exceptions Handling

Make exceptions and last-minute changes to meet customer needs using action messaging, tracking, and multiple planning options.

Production Management

Streamline made-to-order requests and simplify make-or-buy decisions. Modify components and operations as needed, even on released production orders. Plan product family orders that share the same routing for efficient build schedules.
