Sage Production Management Features
Sage Production Management brings all the features of the legacy Work Order and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) modules to the more modern Sage 100cloud technology platform. This powerful new module gives discrete make-to-stock manufacturers and fabricators the tools they need to achieve visibility into the entire production process.
By centralizing the production process in a way that is tightly integrated with Sage 100cloud, assemblers, manufacturers, and fabricators always know their costs, the status of items, and the material quantities required to meet demand.
Key benefits of Sage Production Management include:
Better Accuracy
With Sage Production Management, businesses can track costs beyond a simple bill of materials. Support for tracking labor and other job-related attributes (like overhead, direct AP costs, and status) means that manufacturers can get a complete picture of what it costs to produce an item.
Because they always have current and accurate cost reporting, manufacturers can track costs relative to budget in real time and make adjustments to inventory, materials, and production processes with increased agility.
Improved Process Visibility
It’s important for manufacturers to know where their items are in the manufacturing process. But it’s equally important for manufacturing customers to know how their orders are progressing. Thanks to real time access to the status of every item, manufacturers can improve customer satisfaction by setting accurate delivery expectations.
By adding Make to Order and Enhanced Scheduling, businesses can benefit even more through the ability to identify bottlenecks and optimize capacity planning.
Enhanced Control and Optimization
Without Sage Production Management, complex inventory management often involves exporting sales order data, manipulating that data in spreadsheets, and manually creating purchase orders to ensure that materials are at levels necessary to meet production demand.
Sage Production Management combines sales order data already available in Sage 100cloud with manufacturing process data to alert users when ordering is needed. The real-time integrated inventory control system with built-in controls also increases data integrity by minimizing errors.
