Does Lawson M3 Furniture Support Production Planning?
Yes, Lawson M3 Furniture contains functionality for both rough-cut and detailed production planning.
Lawson M3 Furniture can process simultaneous rough-cut planning for several machines with user-defined periods, work centers and work center capacity. It also considers calendar entries such as scheduled stops. Simulations can be done using parallel scheduling.
The rough-cut schedules are accessible so that they can be loaded with customer orders or stock orders. User-defined selection criteria for orders are easy to set for detailed planning.
All requirements on all levels are dynamically calculated during order entry and this information is always available for detailed planning. You can select orders with common attributes for joint production using user-defined criteria.
Trimming is performed manually or in an external trims system, using preset client/server connections to Lawson M3 Furniture. Routings and materials generated from information in the order can be changed. The order can also be partially produced or reallocated.
Smaller orders with common requirements can be grouped into larger production runs, simplifying production reporting, where operations are then reported against the original customer orders. Rework and rewinding of semi-finished or finished products can be managed from inventory and production.
