Production Planning — Automotive ERP

Run just-in-time automotive manufacturing with tight line sequencing and synchronised supplier schedules.

Built for JIT, sequence and takt time

Automotive production lives and dies by sequence and timing. OEM schedules change, lines must run to takt, and a single late part can stop the whole line. Manage that in spreadsheets and you buffer with excess stock or risk a stoppage.

This module plans production to real demand, sequences the line, and synchronises supplier deliveries so material arrives just in time — with live shop-floor visibility when the schedule inevitably moves.

It connects directly to the rest of your Automotive ERP, and can be extended with AI or mobile apps for field teams.

Production Planning — frequently asked questions

Does it support just-in-time manufacturing?

Yes. Production is planned to real OEM demand and material is pulled just in time, with synchronised supplier schedules that keep the line fed without excess line-side stock.

Can it sequence a mixed-model line?

It can. Models and variants are sequenced down the line to meet takt time and the required mix, so the right unit is built in the right order.

How does it handle changing OEM releases?

OEM releases and forecasts drive the plan, and when they change you can re-plan quickly and push revised schedules to suppliers, minimising disruption.

Does it give shop-floor visibility?

Yes. Work orders, stages and output are tracked live against the plan, so supervisors and planners see plan-versus-actual in real time.
