Bills of material (BOM)
Infor CloudSuite Industrial supports the creation of Bills of Materials for manufactured parts. A Bill of Material (BOM) is the set of materials needed to complete each of the operations. The BOM can be multi-level, which means one of the materials required for operation xyz is a subassembly that has its own routing and BOM.
Changes to Bills of Materials are automatically captured at the time a Job is released. You can create a new BOM by copying it from another inventory item (which uses the current routing and BOM), another job, estimate job, or a production schedule item or release.
Bills of material (BOM) highlights:
- Create both the routing and Bill of Material on one screen using Engineering Workbench.
- Copy bills of materials from jobs, items, estimates, or production schedules
- Assign fixed and variable overhead rates to materials
- Maintain reference information (bubble number, reference designator, assembly sequence)
- Define alternate Bills of Materials
- Material Use-Up Report
- Set Items to back flush
- Enter the percentage of scrap expected for use with planning or purchasing
- Effectivity and obsolescence dates
- Phantom Items
- Non-inventory items
- Where used
- CAD BOM import
- Compliance tracking
- Use the Multi-Site Bill of Materials Builder to copy an item's bill of materials (BOM) from this site to all selected sites.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Infor CloudSuite Industrial Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module assists you in managing the balance between supply and demand. MRP is a mode of planning that plans requirements in order by the lowest level in which the item appears in a bill of material. That is, it plans all end items first, then all items at the next level, and so on, backward planning each requirement from the requirement's needed date to the item's lead time and batching together requirements needed at the same period of time.
Unlike APS, MRP does not consider routing times, resource capacity, or shifts. The responsibility rests with you, the planner, to make sure your shop floor has the available capacity to work the plan. MRP generates planned orders and exception messages to help you implement an accurate plan. MRP helps reduce inventory, increase manufacturing productivity, and ultimately facilitates cash flow.
Support we received from Frontstep's consultants during the implementation was of great importance for the successful completion of the project
