ERP Software Time Saving Feature Eliminates Manual Review
This capability eliminates the need for manually reviewing all scheduled entries to get a clear understanding of how much load is being placed in various areas of production.
Cetec ERP offers visibility for the load on work locations and machines through the Capacity Utilization feature. This capability eliminates the need for manually reviewing all scheduled entries to get a clear understanding of how much load is being placed in various areas of production.
In the software, labor plans are entered for work orders that contain estimated time required for each location/machine. These machines then have a daily set capacity, as dictated by the Capacity Calendar. As orders are scheduled for production, machine capacity is consumed against the daily set capacity.
The capacity utilization report shows all work locations with respective total capacity in minutes, work scheduled and what is remaining. The report can be viewed by day, week or month to give analytical data for machines that might be at or over capacity.
The capacity utilization feature provides foresight into production resources available for future orders, and this information can then be used to see how well actual production stacks against planned production.
