Process manufacturing enterprises are prone to planned and unplanned production variations due to the characteristics of the materials being used and produced, the quality or grade of materials, and the effects of the production process, such as machine setup.
In such environments, you need to ensure that:
- Enough material is purchased, picked, and issued to the Manufacturing Order or backflushed
- The required planned quantity is produced
- The appropriate time and consumption of production resource capacity is planned for
- Product costs are calculated correctly
CompuTec ProcessForce manages this variability, which affects material, time, and cost, via a number of specific functional fields:
- Scrap: defined at item recipe/formulation level
- Yield: defined at parent recipe/formulation level
- Factor: defined at item recipe/formulation level
