Production module provides the functionality necessary to manage and control the production process. It gives you the ability to create and manage work orders and production jobs, reserve stock against orders and quotes, schedule production and record production on-line and MILL production order. There is METAL Processing functionality for work center metal processing like slitting, cut-to-length, laser cutting, plasma cutting, and rolling, shearing, sawing and forming functions. For parts manufacturing, STEELMAN has designed a METAL FABRICATION MRP module.
