Repetitive and Just-In-Time Production Scheduling

The Repetitive and Just-In-Time Production Scheduling and Reporting module is designed to provide a simpler method of planning, scheduling and reporting manufacturing activity than that offered by the work order management module. Daily production schedules may be prepared in advance of production and reported against, or production may simply be reported as it occurs with no supporting schedule.

The same database of items, lot numbers and on hand quantities, bills, routings and tools etc. is used in the repetitive and work order modules and consumption of material and labor data is written to the same historical data repositories (perpetual inventory, perpetual labor, tool usage history, manufacturing - G/L interface, etc.). There is no "hidden work order" number to identify production runs; this is done by end item and lot number or date.

A spreadsheet like interface can be used to set schedules in a simple and familiar way.
