• Define Order Tracking and Action Messaging.

Module 5: Additional Planning Topics

This module examines the use of additional planning concepts such as item variants, inventory locations, and transfers between warehouses. It also shows how to use blanket sales orders in planning and how to use multi-level production orders. Finally, it provides an overview of additional planning tools and reports.

Lessons

Module 6: Subcontracting

Subcontracting is a strategic decision in many manufacturing companies. Subcontracting is defined as a vendor performing one or more operational steps in the production process. Subcontracting can either be a rare occurrence or an integral part of all production activities, depending on the company.This module focuses on the different aspects of the subcontracting process from setting up the subcontractor and routing to the daily work routines in the system connected to using the subcontractor.

Lessons

• Subcontracting

Lab : Subcontracting

• Subcontracting
• Add a Subcontractor to a Routing
• Start the Subcontractor Worksheet
• Create PO and Post Receipt for Subcontractor

After completing this module, students should be able to do the following:

• Set up a Subcontractor.
• Set up Subcontractor Cost by Subcontractor or by Process.
• Set up a Routing with a Subcontractor.
• Process a Production Order with a Subcontractor.
• Determine when a Purchase Order is related to a Production Order.
• Determine the status of Subcontractor Operations on Released Production Orders.

Module 7: Advanced Capacity

Advanced Capacity examines the capacity setup needed to run production planning with constrained resources. Planning with constrained resources is needed when bottlenecks appear in the production environment.

First, the work center group, work center, and machine hierarchy are set up. Then the connected work calendars are defined. Finally, the use of the capacity journals for capacity planning is described in detail. The capacity planning can be seen as the possibility to make a "shop supervisor overview" for the manager responsible for the production.

Module 8: Shop Loading

Shop Loading refers to the daily shop floor operations. It is important when scheduling in a production environment with limited capacity and bottleneck resources.This chapter provides an overview of how shop loading is carried out in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. It shows how to perform loading of capacities using the traditional work center or machine center load windows, and how to execute finite loading for constrained resources. Additionally, the module examines other reports available for capacity scheduling.

Module 9: Additional Manufacturing Topics

This module contains additional manufacturing topics that are only used in some companies. The first lesson contains a description of the standard task codes feature, which can be used to display additional information on the printed routings on the production floor. Some companies need to report scrap and define planned non-productive operation time; other companies need to reduce lead time by scheduling parallel routings or operate in a multi-level production environment; others again, for example in the pharmaceutical business, need to set up serial and lot numbers to track goods from raw material to end customers.
