Unified Features
Core functionality that works seamlessly across all steel manufacturing industries
Master Production Scheduling (MPS)
Create master production schedules based on sales forecasts, customer orders, and inventory targets. Balance demand and supply, generate production plans at finished goods level, and support multiple planning horizons.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Automatically calculate material requirements based on production plans, current inventory, and lead times. Generate purchase requisitions and production orders, handle lot sizing, and optimize material procurement.
Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP)
Calculate capacity requirements for work centers and machines based on production plans. Identify capacity bottlenecks, overload situations, and provide capacity utilization reports for better resource planning.
Finite Capacity Scheduling
Schedule production orders considering actual machine capacity, availability, and constraints. Optimize production sequences, minimize setup times, and balance workload across work centers for maximum efficiency.
Monthly Production Plan (MPP)
Generate monthly production plans with production targets, material requirements, and capacity allocation. Support for plan revisions, approval workflows, and comparison with actual production performance.
Dispatch Plan Generation
Create daily dispatch plans with detailed production schedules, machine assignments, and material availability checks. Prioritize orders based on due dates, customer importance, and production constraints.
Gantt Chart Visualization
Visualize production schedules, machine loading, and order timelines using interactive Gantt charts. Drag-and-drop scheduling, zoom capabilities, and real-time updates for better schedule management.
What-If Scenario Planning
Create and compare multiple planning scenarios with different assumptions, constraints, and objectives. Analyze impact of changes on material requirements, capacity utilization, and delivery dates.
Resource Optimization
Optimize resource allocation across machines, work centers, and production lines. Minimize idle time, reduce setup changes, and maximize throughput while meeting delivery commitments.
Demand Forecasting & Planning
Generate demand forecasts using historical data, trend analysis, and statistical models. Support for multiple forecasting methods, forecast accuracy tracking, and collaborative forecasting.
Material Availability Checking
Check material availability before production scheduling and identify material shortages. Generate material requirement alerts and suggest alternative materials or suppliers.
