Production Planning

In short, Production Planning is designed for facilities that pack to meet orders
  • This is an alternative to the Production Board.
  • This allows a manager to assign and prioritize order fulfillment for each order.
    • Once an order has been created, but has no inventory assigned to it, it shows up on the Production Planning screen.
    • Each order can be assigned to a Production Line.
    • Each order can be given a priority for fulfillment.
      • This could be used to manage floor personnel so they always know what is to be produced next.
    • Each order can then have inventory created and assigned to it.
    • Finally, the inventory simply needs to be loaded inside the order, on the Order Board, or on the Shipping Board, to complete the order fulfillment.
