You can define your manufacturing resources, including machines, employees, tools or even sub-contractors as work centers and allocate them to work center groups. Scheduling can be performed at different levels of detail,: operations, scheduling for work center groups and job scheduling for individual work centers. You can achieve maximum scheduling flexibility by determining whether finite or infinite capacity should be used for each work center or work center group. Detailed capacity scheduling can determine the 'best fit' between a work center and a specific operation and automatically selects the work center with the shortest lead time. Reduce time spent waiting for the availability of a work center with the option of selecting the 'next best' alternative.

• Job scheduling Gantt chart displays a real-time, graphical overview of production schedule so you can make tactical, day-to-day changes that optimize production flow.
  

Insight into production costs

• You can record consumption and costs prior to production in a forward manner using base data, or record actual consumption during production.
• Consumption and production costs are automatically posted into the general ledger, which cuts down on manual data entry and quickly enables you to compare actual and estimated production costs.
• Efficient and flexible means of managing bills of material (BOM) to ensure you get the most accurate costing and materials requirements information.
