4. Manufacturing Modes Make to Order Make to Stock Engineer to Order
Configure to Order
Job Shop/Repetitive Job Shop
Process
Mixed

5. Project Manufacturing
Works well for Engineer to Order (ETO)
Needs to be setup correctly
All Manufacturing does
Companies have often forced this work through Assemblies or Production Orders.
The Planning Lines allow you to define the items and resources needed

6. Starting out with Manufacturing
Now I just need to set it up…
Master Data
Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Routings
Work Centers
Machine Centers
There is a lot of learn about
master data,
costing,
planning and
scheduling.
Take your time setup sample items, BOMs, Routings copy the company and test, test, test

7. Starting out with Manufacturing
Now I need to schedule it…
Production Forecasting
Planning Worksheet
Requisition Worksheet
Take the time to setup scenario and adjust a parameter (e.g. more sales order lines, changes in Shipment Dates…)

8. Lean is the future? Lean Manufacturing and NAV KanBan
Understand the implications of decisions

9. Item Tracking Lot Tracking
How does this work in high velocity manufacturing
How is the information going to get into transactions?
What happens is there is insufficient quantity on hand?
I can turn it off easily

10. Item Numbering Keep it Simple Intelligent Item Nos. can be tricky
Consider a combination of intelligence and sequential numbers.
F***0001 – Finished Good
W***0001 – WIP Item
R***0001- Raw Material
P***0001 – Packaging
S***0001 – Maintenance MRO

11. Item Variants and attributes
Variants used carefully are very powerful
Used incorrectly they can create a monster
Examples of variants
Same item in same packaging with different label
Same item different size and/or color

12. What is an “Item”?
When you can touch it, count it and need to track it  It’s an Item
What is WIP in NAV?

13. MRP is Automated – Right?
Material Requirement Planning (MRP) and Master Production Scheduling (MPS) are easy?
It blindly follows your rules
It is entirely predictable
There is a lot to it
Make the time to set it up and test, test…

14. Sub-Contracting
Use an item?
Use a Routing Operation?

15. Bar Coding will Solve It!
Bar Coding solves all material issues!
What is driving the need?
What is the need?
Are the basic correct?
Master Data
Consistent Reporting
Lot Nos.

16. PhantomS The use of Production BOMs on a BOM line is very useful
Unless…
Someone wants to stock the “Phantom”
Someone wants to use it as a service part…

17. Testing, testing, more Testing…
MRP

18. NAV needs to represent reality
Phantoms Run Rates Costs Scrap You have to be able to trust the results

19. Make to Stock/Order?
Are you really a Make to Order? What is the impact?

20. How would you set it up? How much data do you really need?
Why do you need it?
Every nut, bolt, screw?
Do you include packing tape?
