Manufacturing Execution MicroERP

Define approved material structures for manufacturable products.

• Maintain component quantities and alternates
• Control revision and effectivity
• Explode multilevel assemblies for production

Reduce losses when switching products or production setups.

• Group compatible runs
• Record cleaning and setup requirements
• Compare actual changeover time to plan

Plan longer-term production using reviewed demand scenarios.

• Combine order history and commercial forecasts
• Model seasonality and uncertainty
• Compare stock and capacity implications

Recover components from returned or obsolete assemblies.

• Authorize disassembly by unit or batch
• Record recovered and scrapped parts
• Revalue recoverable stock with review

Introduce product changes without corrupting open work.

• Assess affected products and orders
• Review revised BOM and routing
• Set effectivity and disposition old stock

Optimize a constrained production schedule across work centres.

• Model machine and labor constraints
• Sequence operations with alternative resources
• Compare due-date and utilization scenarios

Approve the first output after a new setup or product change.

• Define first-article measurement criteria
• Record inspection and deviations
• Release or hold the production run

Record execution of each production operation.

• Start and pause assigned operations
• Record good, rejected and pending quantities
• Hand output to the next operation

Reconcile material issued to production with actual usage.

• Issue materials against released work
• Record substitutions and extra consumption
• Return unused material and close variances

Explain production performance through measured availability and output.

• Capture planned and unplanned stops
• Calculate availability, performance and quality loss
• Prioritize verified loss-reduction actions

Close a run after output, materials and cost are reconciled.

• Resolve WIP and material balances
• Validate accepted output and scrap
• Freeze actual run cost and closure evidence

Attach measured process evidence to production runs.

• Ingest authorized machine or sensor readings
• Associate readings with job and time window
• Flag missing or out-of-range process evidence

Validate a proposed product before recurring production.

• Plan sample iterations and quantities
• Capture trial results and customer approval
• Transfer accepted specifications into production

Define the controlled sequence of manufacturing operations.

• Sequence operations and dependencies
• Assign work centres and standard times
• Publish revision-controlled operator instructions

Transfer unfinished work and machine status between shifts.

• Record open jobs and output balances
• Flag defects, shortages and downtime
• Obtain incoming-shift acknowledgment

Control outsourced operations and material held by processors.

• Issue approved work and owned material
• Receive partial processed output
• Reconcile material, rejection and job-work cost

Make approved production tooling available for each operation.

• Link tool compatibility to jobs
• Track issue, condition and usage
• Schedule refurbishment or replacement

Authorize production of specified output against an approved plan.

• Release product, quantity and routing
• Manage partial completion and balance
• Close or cancel remaining production

Account for the output and loss of each production run.

• Compare input with accepted output
• Classify scrap and recoverable by-products
• Investigate excessive process loss

Turn confirmed production demand into dated material needs.

• Explode approved material requirements
• Net stock, reservations and inbound supply
• Propose purchasing or production actions

Verify operational output against an approved acceptance standard.

• Select inspection plan and sample
• Record measurements and evidence
• Accept, reject or hold the inspected output

Recover failed work without losing its original history.

• Authorize rework scope and routing
• Allocate material and capacity
• Reinspect output and attribute rework cost
