Material Planning

The task of the production planning department is to ensure free capacities and material availability, so your customer can receive your goods on time.

The planning department has to book the production orders and monitor the order progress. Thereby intex supports your schedulers.

The intex availability check is a sophisticated application with graphical displays and automatic alerts.

intex offers the following key functions:

• Requirement planning with calculation of the availability date incl. the availability of all recipe components
• Smooth and continuous breakup of finished goods over several production stages down to the fiber
• Purchase notice, material planning
• Capacity planning with finite capacity
• Automatic selection of optimal machine size for each batch
• Target date of each production step
• Possibility of running scheduling simulations
• Automatic progress control and intex mail alert when exceeding deadline
• Neutral and direct piece allocation
• Reservation of orders of different process stages
• Subcontracting (order, delivery note, pricing, invoice check, deadline monitoring, EDI)
• Order network, network planning

The intex network planning is a unique strength of the intex ERP software and is needed for production planning, especially for multilevel production. intex can link all order stages even accross different mandants (spinning, weaving, knitting, warp-knitting, pretreatment, dyeing, printing, coating, finishing, clothing-production, customer order). The early warning system is calculating automatically the impact of delays on the following orders and alerts the scheduler by an active mailing system (workflow management). Thereby intex optimally supports the co-operation in the supply chain.
