Plan what to make, on which machine, by when.
The production planning module converts sales orders and stock targets into work orders, checks whether material is available and loads the work onto machines, lines or shifts. It matters because most late deliveries start with a plan kept in someone's head. Here the plan, the shortages and the day's actual output are all in one place.
Turns sales orders and stock targets into work orders, checks material availability and loads them onto machines, lines or shifts. Shows planned versus actual output daily, and what to buy and by when.

Questions, answered.
Do we need accurate BOMs before using planning?
You need reasonable ones. Material checks and purchase suggestions are only as good as the BOM or recipe behind them. Most units start with their main products and tighten the rest over time.
Does it work for make-to-order and make-to-stock?
Yes. Make-to-order work orders are tied to a sales order or job. Make-to-stock work orders are raised from stock targets. Many factories run both together.
How does the plan stay in step with the shop floor?
Supervisors enter output, rejection and stoppages for each shift. The plan is then compared with what really happened that day, and pending quantity carries forward for rescheduling.
