Manufacturing-Made-to-Order
Made to Order (MTO) is a demand driven production approach where a product is scheduled and built in response to a confirmed order received for it from a final customer. Making a profit in a Made-to-Order business environment requires lean manufacturing practices and meticulousness every step of the way. Because items produced are highly customized, volume tends to be low and maintaining inventory for products can be difficult and expensive. The functionality of the MRP software you use calls for more advanced options in forecasting, order processing, tracking of raw materials and tighter control over fulfillment.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a fully integrated solution including features and functionally for doing MTO effectively:
- Data is available in real-time, allowing for more accurate decision making
- Keep a tighter control over raw materials required for production
- Communicate better internal-across your supply chain- and externally-in response to customer demands
- Stay competitive in the global market place
- React to changes in production and the consequential work flow that follows
