Order triggers production planning through PPS, procurement decision, and quality-checked production.
Every time we get a new order from the sales department, first, one of my masters determines the necessary parts and quantities as well as the delivery date. Once that information is present, it has to be entered into our production planning system (PPS). It optimizes our production processes and creates possibly uniform work packages. Besides, it creates a list of parts to be procured. The data must be transferred manually to ERP. Once all the data is present, we need to decide whether any parts are missing and must be procured or if this is not necessary. Once production is scheduled to start, we receive a notice from the system and an employee takes care of the implementation. Finally, the order will be checked again for its quality.
