Automated management of production orders

Automated management of production orders saves time and enables better utilisation of staff manpower. Automated systems take over recurring tasks such as order entry and scheduling, avoid manual errors and shorten throughput times. They work around the clock, increase productivity and recognise bottlenecks at an early stage.

Manual distribution of production orders

It all starts at the start of the process: manually distributing and printing orders in production control is inefficient and error-prone: the high manual effort ties up valuable human resources that could be better utilised. The process is prone to errors, as orders can easily be mixed up, overlooked or incorrectly assigned, leading to production errors, delays and additional costs. There is also a lack of transparency as there is no real-time overview of the status of order allocation and processing, which makes it difficult to monitor and control production.

Typical problems with the manual management of production orders

Lack of integration and automation:

If production planning is not seamlessly integrated into other areas of the company such as Warehousing and procurement, this can lead to delays and miscommunication. A non-automated adjustment of orders increases the manual effort and the risk of errors.

Insufficient data quality:

Up-to-date and accurate data is required for fast and efficient adjustment. Incorrect or incomplete data can lead to incorrect planning decisions, resulting in bottlenecks or overproduction.

Event-Driven Dashboards

An event-driven dashboard provides you with a powerful solution for monitoring your processes, recognising trends and gaining valuable insights. This dashboards are indispensable for your SAP Business One solution and a central component of your digital transformation. They support both the traditional BI approach with a data warehouse and the real-time processing of event-based data streams.

Lack of real-time updates:

Without real-time updates on the availability of resources and materials, production control cannot react quickly enough to changes. This can lead to production interruptions and inefficient utilisation of resources.

Poor communication and coordination:

Changes to customer orders require close coordination between different departments. Inadequate communication can lead to misunderstandings and delays in production planning.

Overloading of the planning systems:

A high number of changes can overload the capacity of the planning system, especially if it is not scalable. This can lead to longer lead times and inefficient resource management.

Lack of flexibility of the software:

A rigid planning system that does not allow for simple adjustments can limit the ability to react. ERP systems, on the other hand, should be flexible and configurable in order to be able to react quickly to changes.
