Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

• Explode all assembly schedules into component requirements
• Consume the forecast with actual orders as they are received
• The master production schedule (MPS) allows you to control production of key end items to help you protect your schedule from fluctuations in order-based demand (forecasts, customer orders, parent job orders, etc.). MPS is a manually created, anticipated build schedule for an item. You create it based on your expectations of demand and your estimation of resource capacity.
• Material Planning Workbench for automatic creation of Purchase Orders, Jobs, or Transfer Orders
• Run MRP for all sites or individual sites
• Define a source per part – Manufactured, Purchased, or Transferred to define sourcing by site.
• Available To Promise
• View Exception messages when exceptions occur such as on-hand quantity drops below safety stock, or when a planned receipt is no longer needed (or needs to be moved in or out in time)
• Use the Order Action Report to determine the job orders and purchase orders you must generate and release for a given item to be available when needed
• Replicate MRP planned transfer orders to the supply sites in your multi-site environment
• Peg each supply against demand using the Pegging Display form

Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS)

• Greater visibility in planning — Our solution provides exceptional visibility into the lean manufacturing plans it creates. You get a continuously visible plan for each order, so that every order ―knows‖ the jobs and POs it needs, and every supply ―knows‖ the demand it supports. You also gain new insight into your inventory and your resources (machines, operators, work centers, cell, and facility utilizations).
• Simultaneous materials and resource scheduling — Our solution concurrently plans all materials and capacity needed to satisfy the customer order. It balances available capacity with the actual projected workload without assuming that capacity is unlimited or "infinite." Plans are continually adjusted based on the changing dynamics of your manufacturing environment.
• ―What-if‖ capabilities — The ―what-if‖ capabilities of the SyteLine APS engine let users determine the impact of decisions. For example, you can insert a high priority order into your current production plan, add overtime hours, or outsource specific components. The system instantly determines which customer orders will be affected and how delivery timeframes will change.
• Real-time promise dates — At the time of order entry, our solution provides the ability to obtain a promise date for the order which considers the finite constraints of both material and capacity. Users only need to perform a Capable to Promise (CTP) check within the order entry screens. This powerful feature gives you real-time date promise capability at both the order header and line detail level.

Scheduling

• Schedule Planned orders generated by MRP or APS, Firm jobs, Working estimate jobs, Planned estimate jobs, production schedules
• Schedule jobs forward in time
• Schedule resources to perform operations
• Event-based scheduling
• Utilize scheduling shifts, holidays, resources, resource groups, departments, and work centers
• Prioritize jobs by setting sequence and selection rules
• Identify late jobs and causes using the Scheduler output analysis forms or Analyzer
• Runs automatically in the Background Queue
• Dispatch lists by individual resources or resource groups
• Graphical views of capacity and schedule
• Schedule analysis by exception
• Resource Bottleneck analysis forms

SyteLine Forecasting

• Collect data — Collect historical sales of products or usage of components in both units and dollars.
• Calculate forecasts — Use historical demand and various algorithms with what-if analysis. Forecasts also can be generated collaboratively with customer specific demand. The solution also supports combined forecasting methods, such as when part of demand is forecast by statistics and part by imported customer data.
• Analyze data — Analyze forecasts, sales, bookings, or usage of materials by unit and dollar volume and compare forecasts to historical trends and to actual demand. Information is presented graphically by groupings, including product, family, commodity, planner, and user defined.
• Adapt the forecast — Adjust the forecast for specific market factors such as promotions, competitive situations, and new opportunities. These adjustments can be made at the various group levels or at the item level.
• Calculate optimum inventory levels —Calculate optimum safety stock, order size, and re-order points, factoring in average usage, variability, lead time, and desired service level.
• Perform top-down forecasting — For configure-to-order products, use planning bills to calculate or specify a single forecast for a group of items and then consume that forecast when members of the group are sold. For common components but with unlimited end-item possibilities, the solution enables you to forecast the components, rather than the end items, and consume the forecast when the components are used.
