Production, from plans to results
Production Control in PriTo links planning, purchasing, production release and tracking with cost evaluation and financial records. Teams use information on materials, operations, and resources to coordinate orders and monitor manufacturing activities.
Defining products and manufacturing processes
Manage product structures and bills of materials, define routings and operations, and generate component requirements from product configurations and manufacturing needs. PriTo supports make-to-stock and make-to-order production according to company workflows.
Production planning — requirements and resources
Planning links manufacturing requirements to the materials and resources needed to meet them. Using product structures, operations, and deadlines, PriTo supports make-to-stock and make-to-order preparation. Planning addresses requirements and feasibility; scheduling subsequently details the timing of operations.
MRP — material requirements planning
MRP capabilities support the calculation of production material requirements. Product structures, bills of materials, and manufacturing configurations identify the components needed. Linking this information to planning and purchasing helps teams prepare materials for production orders.
Production capacity — availability and loading
Assess production capacity loading and utilisation against available resources and work-centre calendars. Finite-capacity planning considers actual availability. Capacity analysis helps align planned work with execution capabilities.
Production scheduling — timing operations
Scheduling positions manufacturing operations in time against resources and deadlines. PriTo supports forward and backward scheduling according to production requirements. Separating scheduling from planning clarifies the distinction between determining requirements and organising execution.
Planning Board — visual planner
View and adjust production schedules using dedicated graphical tools. The Planning Board visually represents operation planning, supporting activity coordination and capacity monitoring. The visual planner helps organise work within available resources and deadlines.
MES — production execution and tracking
MES capabilities support the release and tracking of production orders and operations. Record operation start and finish, actual execution times, and equipment downtime. Report completed and nonconforming quantities. Execution data records actual activity separately from its planning and scheduling.
Materials, labels, and shop-floor information
Identify and record materials used, including through scanning, and manage production consumption. Label generation and printing support product identification. Information collected from industrial equipment can be integrated where these capabilities have been implemented.
Standard and actual costs
Link materials, operations, and resources used to record and analyse standard and actual production costs. Connections between planning, execution, and financial records provide visibility into manufacturing and resource use.
Project-based and job-based activities
PriTo also supports activities organised by project or job, including repairs, construction, and services. Operations, materials, and resources can be tracked within these activities alongside their financial results.
