MANUFACTURING

Production Planning is used by enterprise planners to balance the production quantities within specific period, factory’s production capacity, forecast quantities and customer demand.

Planning Policy

The Master Production Schedule is a master plan developed for production, inventory, manpower, etc whereby it sets the quantity of each end item to be completed for a short-term planning horizon. It gives production, planning, purchasing and senior management the information needed to plan and control the manufacturing operation

• Establish multiple MPS/MRP planning schemes within an organization.
• Support BOM-Routing matching rule settings and kitting analysis for BOM parent materials and sub-materials.
• Ability to generate rescheduling proposal by MPS planning.

MPS/MRP Planning

The Master Production Schedule (MPS) will drive detailed material and production requirements in the Material Requirement Planning (MRP)

• Support collaborative planning by multi-organizations and multi-step planning by single production entity.
• Support planner-based MPS planning by a planning organization.
• Support phantom processing
• Enables demand orders to be combined for scheduling taking into consideration of manufacturing factors, economic quantities and batches.

Planning Order and Fulfillment

Effectively plan production and procurement based on system calculated net requirements

The Planned Order is the proposal that planner can interactively convert to purchase requisition for external procurement or internal production. MRP create planned orders based on calculated net requirements and its availability.

• Allow visibility of the planned orders list by summaries, supply-demand matching details, demand details and supply details using query parameters.
• Enable tracking of demand source based on the planned order generated from the MRP Planning.

Building a completed project budget management system: budget-contract-payment is linked together, strictly control cost incurring.

Target Cost Management

Reasonably make the budget and timely monitor the gap between it with the actual cost. Gain visibility into project budgets and forecasts to determine overall project financial health.

• Set up project target cost flexibly according to organization’s criteria.
• Reasonably make the budget and timely monitor any gap in actual cost.
• Enable visibility into project target cost ensuring projects satisfy budget commitments.

Target Cost Adjustment

Spend money in the most effective way. Project situation changes are inevitable thus making timely adjustment and reallocation to target cost becomes imperative.

• Spend project funds in the most effective way by keeping track closely of the target cost adjustment and reallocation process.
• Enable real-time dynamic cost control with visible comparison on planned target cost, actual cost incurred and budget balances.

Improve project costing processes – Cost Management provides a complete integrated cost management solution which empowers managers with timely, detailed project cost information to monitor project performance and take corrective actions.

Dynamic Cost Management

Real-time control and monitor the cost incurring. Real-time control and proactively monitor cost incurred as project executes

• Gain real-time visibility of the dynamic cost movement in the whole project lifecycle.
• Review dynamic cost with different dimensions e.g. cost items dimension, WBS dimension.
• Quick comparison of cost to forecast and budgets to improve cost performance.

Cost Analysis

Analyze cost in terms of different management philosophy. Closely monitor project performance – utilizing timely cost information to make critical decision assure project execution meets the pre-defined budget.

• Gain visibility into project cost performance with real-time cost analysis.
• Gain visibility into project performance from costing perspective with different defined dimensions.
• Manage all cost and expenditures based on unified cost items set-up at group-level or company-level.

Onsite Management provides project managers the visibility and control they need to execute their projects, manage change efficiently and improve project profitability.

Variation Order (VO) Management

Record on-site situation, and be indirectly affected by budget. Focus on change and risk management to eliminate surprises

• Proactively record onsite variation and related cost.
• Track budgets and associated costs with integrated change management, enabling better visibility and higher accuracy.

Fully functional safety management system Proper record of quality issues and taking fast corrective actions can greatly improve project ROI and shorten project schedules

• Define Safety Check information with safety check contents and suggested corrective actions.
• Capture safety issues with ease and immediately allocate these issues for corrective actions.
• Utilize standardize safety checklist to capture the right information every time.
• Simplified safety management with centralized repository of all safety-related information.

Project Progress is a key activity of project management with project manager issues regular progress reporting against budget, schedule and scope.

Plan Management

Standardize the format of project plan; reflect the project plan in an overall view. Unified project plan and measure against actual progress

• Set up the control plan for the project.
• Proactively manage the actual progress via real-time reporting.
• Gain visibility in project progress with real-time comparison between planned and actual progress.

Milestone Management

Realize the control from different perspective Milestones not only help your team to stay on track, they are also important to project manager to determine whether the project is on schedule.

• Set up key deadlines on project plan so your team can easily see what achievement is coming up and plan accordingly.
• Enabling approval process workflows with milestone management to trigger event for actionable tasks
• Project control should incorporate milestone analysis to determine why is the milestone not being met and what is the impact on the project?

Progress Analysis

Real time comparison between planned progress and actual situation. Comprehensive Progress Analysis provides everything you as a project manager should know in terms of the project health and management quality.

• Gain visibility with real-time comparison between control plan and actual progress.
• Offers organization a comprehensive analysis solution that delivers insight into project progress data for decision making.

The Supplier Portal, as part of yonyou e-Commerce suite, integrates with other application modules such as Purchase Management and Account Payables.

Supplier Portal

Typically, strategic supplier management is a time-consuming and complex process; organization can gain more savings and value by collaborating, exchanging information and negotiating – all through a secure Internet-based online portal.
