Enhanced productivity through precise planning
Planned production for unplanned situations
The CANIAS Production Planning and Control Module
delivers advanced features to facilitate efficient
implementation and control. Features such as lead time
scheduling, component availability, capacity checks, and
standard costing are available to ensure uninterrupted
production operations. The CANIAS ERP PPC module
meets and exceeds expectations for production
requirements for all production types. All established
processes for different lines of production such as unique
production, production to order, batch production, custom
manufacturing, and joint production can be planned and
controlled.
CANIAS PPC enables user to utilize planning methodology
(forward, backward, middle tabulations) that is best suited
to meet their required delivery schedule. However,
changing market conditions demand that these standard
methodologies are no longer sufficient for calculation and
optimization of the processing time.
Therefore CANIAS PPC integrates a control center that
presents graphically supported planning methodologies
derived from the supply chain. Freely configurable
planning algorithms permit an even more detailed
production optimization based on the planning
strategy.
Criteria used for production planning algorithms include;
shortest transaction time, earliest delivery time, setup
costs optimization, best possible machine efficiency etc
(see Capacity Planning Module).
Knowing your production status in advance
All data relevant to production (planned orders, and
production orders) are transferred to the PPC module
through Requirements Planning. A graphical production
network plan consisting of all production steps,
generated from product trees (BOM) and routes,
dynamically displays the current stage of jobs. An
integrated production data acquisition system
guarantees advanced calculation ability (for current and
successive periods).
The various functions such as the formation of all work
orders, aggregate and variable productions, product tree
variances, variable work plans, and preparation of all
production documents, are standard features supplied
by the module. Data collected from a work plan and a
product tree during execution of work orders can be
changed on work order-basis at the time of
production.
Consistent integration of batch and serial number
guarantees tracking of used components even in multi-level
vertical integration. The PPC module also offers quality
assurance procedures in production, where work phases
and product tree components that require quality assurance
are recorded, along with quality control data, and are then
linked to relevant inspection plans. If quality control results
are within expected ranges, the production will be
continued to next production step. Quality control
instructions are provided from the document management
system integrated with the PPC module.
Custom planning, flexible production
The high level of automation coupled with seamless
integration guarantees an ideal production planning
capability within the CANIAS ERP system. Continual
changes in customer orders, changes attributed to internal
requirements, delivery date postponements, and different
scenarios resulting from external factors affecting
production processes, can be rapidly planned for on an
individual basis.
Ability to meet delivery schedules is getting more and
more important, requiring mechanisms for production
control to be utilized in the best available manner. The
CANIAS PPC module presents several features for use in
varying production environments.
PPC: The heart of the value chain
Production Planning and Control is one of the three main
pillars of an ERP system. In an industrial production setting,
the PPC module represents the heart of the ERP system.
The high level of integration of the PPC module with the
CANIAS ERP system guarantees consistent production
control, including integration with sales, sales planning,
materials requirements planning, production, delivery,
and financial accounting. Whether you are manufacturing
made-to-stock or made to order products or deploying
custom manufacturing processes, the CANIAS ERP PPC
module provides you with the insights and management
tools to efficiently plan, manage and control your
production operations.
