Advanced Production & Capacity Planning in Peacksoft ERP

Overview

Peacksoft ERP offers a comprehensive production planning and control system that seamlessly integrates Master Production Scheduling (MPS), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and Capacity Planning. It aligns manufacturing with demand forecasts, optimizes machine and labor capacity, and ensures that every production order is executed with precision and efficiency.

Core Planning Modules

• Batch Production Planning: Select and schedule multiple work orders simultaneously to create optimized production batches and ensure smooth workflow.
• Resource Capacity Planning: Machine and labor masters track skills, availability, and workloads to assign resources efficiently and prevent bottlenecks.
• Feasibility & Scheduling: Quickly generate tentative schedules, validate capacity against due dates, and adjust dynamically as priorities shift.
• Dynamic Rescheduling: Easily delay, suspend, or resume work orders with real-time updates to dependent processes and schedules.
• Multi-Level Work Orders: Manage hierarchical jobs that include parent and subassembly work orders linked with routing, BOM, and resource planning.

Capacity Planning Highlights

• Define machine and tool capacities, working shifts, and maintenance schedules to ensure availability alignment.
• Plan labor allocation based on skills and workload balancing for efficient task assignment.
• Automatically match job orders to available capacity to minimize idle time and maximize productivity.
• Monitor resource usage, production progress, and shop floor efficiency in real-time dashboards.

Key Benefits

• Improved On-Time Delivery: Better scheduling ensures delivery promises are met consistently.
• Cost Optimization: Reduces idle machine time and unnecessary procurement, saving direct and indirect costs.
• Inventory Control: Synchronizes raw materials with production needs to minimize overstocking.
• Flexible Replanning: Easily adjust to market or order changes without workflow disruption.
• Enhanced Decision Making: Gain real-time visibility of all production operations for faster strategic action.
