Advanced Manufacturing

Cin7 Core MRP stands for Material Requirements Planning. Any complex manufacturing requires tools that can handle complexity, particularly the advanced planning and scheduling functions that come with our MRP module.

This MRP module has elevated our cloud ERP solution into a truly comprehensive suite of tools and closed any gaps in our manufacturing model. You can now evolve your manufacturing from a simple production process to a fully planned and optimized process with finite control over capacity and resources.

The difference between the Production BOM and Assembly BOM is that Assembly involves only one operation and Production involves many operations. The Assembly BOM lists products and service items but does not take into account resource capacity and operation scheduling.

The Capacity Planner is a resource allocation reporting and re-planning tool. The Capacity Planner shows the capacity for a selected planning period, which resources are overallocated, and allows re-planning of capacity.

The Cin7 Core Production Scheduler visualises Production Order information. It creates a schedule for production, so all finished products are produced on time, providing smooth production without any delays. Scheduler provides the ability to to reschedule Production Orders, Production Runs and operations.

A bill of materials explosion displays an assembly at the highest level broken down into its individual components and parts at the lowest level. Production BOMs can contain finished products (products with their own production BOM) or assembled components (products with their own Assembly BOM).

Yes, Cin7 Core allows you to define manufacturing processes for multiple finished products at a time. It is worth mentioning that in Cin7 Core, the primary product of a production process is a finished product, but coproducts, byproducts, and joint production products etc. are also classed as finished products, thus supported in Cin7 Core.

Different products may go through the same production process, making it difficult to differentiate costs among products early in production. During this stage, your organisation is incurring joint costs. Cin7 Core allows the products in production to go through split-off points to become separate and distinct from one another. After split-off, each products incurs separable costs.

The Cin7 Core production process allows for two types of costs allocation for products:

– Sales Value Method: Best applied when separable costs do not exist, can be ignored, or are equivalent.
– Net Realisable Value Method: Best applied when separable costs are significant.
