The Production Order Processing module controls the movement of materials during the production process. Production is managed through the use of production orders. These orders indicate the quantities and due dates of items being manufactured. They also contain lists of materials required, extracted from the standard bill of material, and expected operations, from the standard routing.
The Fitrix MRP application generates planned orders by analyzing demand for master-scheduled and non-master-scheduled items. Bills of material for the planned orders are expanded to analyze requirements for all lower level items, whether produced or purchased. Requirements at each level are netted against on hand inventory and scheduled receipts for active orders, to determine the need to generate additional planned orders. Generated planned orders may then be reviewed, optionally consolidated, and released for manufacture or purchase.
Fitrix Standard Costing defines the expected or standard costs to be incurred to produce or purchase items. It uses cost elements defined in the Bill of Material and Standard Routing applications to compute standard costs per unit of an item. These costs can be tracked against actual costs to produce or purchase and the variances can then be analyzed.
