Summary
Production integration of manufacturing execution to the Production control module is essential to receiving optimal use of the Manufacturing execution module in Supply Chain Management. Companies must set up various production parameter settings in Manufacturing execution to reflect production requirements. The following are some key issues to consider:
Level of scheduling when you are planning production orders (jobs or operations)
Time of posting the picking lists during execution of production orders
Calculating methods that are used for calculating time consumption and costs on production orders
Allocation of time when you are bundling operations or jobs
Companies must test the production integration setup in Manufacturing execution before going live with the installation to verify that the setup meets production requirements.
