Plan production sites using multi-site capabilities to maintain various production units for planning and execution.

Production in Microsoft Dynamics AX can help you:

• Manage production in a demand-driven environment. View real-time, integrated work in progress (WIP) with actual costs; make adjustments to avoid potential delays or cost overruns; and streamline inventory management based on demand and forecasting.
• Anticipate and reduce bottlenecks. Gain tight control over every aspect of the production floor with bottleneck scheduling. Quickly view processes and work utilization as a whole with a Gantt chart and use drag-and-drop rescheduling to minimize delays.
• Gain deep insight across the supply chain. With visibility throughout the entire supply chain, you can streamline business processes, optimise resources, minimize lead times, and identify accurate delivery dates.
• Improve control of production processes. Define manufacturing resources, including machines, people, tools, and subcontractors, and allocate them to work center groups. Tightly control schedules by using finite or infinite capacity scheduling for maximum flexibility
