Complex Manufacturing FAQs

What is MRP?

MRP stands for Materials Requirements Planning. It's a crucial tool for managing the complexities of manufacturing, particularly in advanced planning and scheduling.

Cin7’s Complex Manufacturing seamlessly integrates MRP with inventory management, warehouse management, accounting, and more. Together, these features deliver a powerful, all-in-one solution within a cloud ERP platform, designed to simplify and optimize your manufacturing operations.

What is a capacity planner?

The Capacity Planner is a powerful tool for resource allocation, reporting, and re-planning. It provides a clear view of resource capacity for a selected planning period, identifies overallocation, and enables seamless re-planning to optimize resource utilization.

What is a production scheduler?

The Production Scheduler offers a visual representation of Production Order details, ensuring a clear and organized production timeline. It helps you create efficient schedules to ensure all finished products are completed on time, minimizing delays and keeping production running smoothly. The scheduler also allows you to easily reschedule Production Orders, Production Runs, and specific operations as needed.

How is cost calculated for the coproducts, byproducts, and joint production products?

Different products often share the same production process, making it challenging to distinguish individual costs early in production. At this stage, your organization may encounter joint costs. Cin7 Core simplifies this by allowing products in production to pass through split-off points, where they become separate and distinct. From that point, each product accrues its own separable costs, enabling more precise cost tracking and allocation.

How does Cin7 Core allocate costs for products?

Cin7 Core supports two methods of cost allocation for products:

Sales Value Method: Ideal when separable costs are minimal, negligible, or equivalent across products.
Net Realizable Value Method: Recommended when separable costs are significant and need to be accounted for accurately.

What production planning tools does Cin7 offer?

Cin7 offers advanced production management tools including MRP software and work order management software. These features like multi-level BOM management and real-time inventory tracking ensure smooth and efficient production processes. With integrated Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning capabilities, you can effectively manage production timelines, monitor raw materials, and optimize resource allocation with ease.

How does Cin7 support shop floor control?

Cin7 provides comprehensive shop floor control with real-time monitoring of production tasks and team performance. This powerful feature, integrated into our manufacturing solutions, ensures every step of the production process is streamlined—from resource allocation to task completion—maximizing efficiency and productivity.
