A BOM that is only a parts list tells you what to buy. It does not tell you what the thing costs.
Components, structure depth, make versus buy, and the cost that rolls up from all of it -- with scrap and operation on every line.
Shortages found in a spreadsheet are found a week late.
Demand from orders, forecast, safety stock and reorder point in one run -- and the drafts it generates consolidated by supplier before anyone approves them.
Variance found at month end is history. Variance found on the order is a decision.
Material, labour, machine overhead and subcontract, each plan against actual, on the order itself.
Routing is created to describe all the Operations necessary to manufacture a Product. Operations can be mandatory or optional and must take place in a Work Center.
Define a Production Order to track assembly of a product. Enter a product assembly and quantity and then select a BOM and Routing to describe the component requirements and manufacturing operations.
Plan your sales forecast based on the actual sales pipeline as well as the forecast worked out by your different sales teams. Run plan versus actual reports and see which measures lead to success.
