Capable to Promise & Available to Promise Features

Theory of Constraints algorithms provide the TOTAL picture on inventory availability
Reviews all planned inventory transactions, including on-hand, receipts, production, backlog and forecasts
Combines materials, tools and machine capacity into one cohesive view.
Easy-to-read graphic charts and routing diagrams display availability and constraints that may cause a delay in the timely delivery of products
Calculates potential purchasing issues by analyzing supplier lead times
Uses "Runs the Best" and multi-level Bills of Manufacture to determine specific work centers and assesses any possible constraints
Intuitively blocks production time availability based on holidays and facility closures which are driven by the user-defined shop calendar
Evaluates labor requirements and compares to actual, existing and future labor schedule

Automatically calculates the earliest CTP date. If the job under investigation cannot be run within the requested time frame because capacity is unavailable, the first available open time will be identified
Constraints affecting order processing such as lead times for material purchases, labor availability and machine capacity are easily identified. Drill down to the details to determine the proper course of action
Quickly identify other sub-constraints such as unavailable packaging or other raw materials
Instantly create a sales order directly from the CTP screen with CTP date automatically entered into the promised date
Quickly evaluates maintenance schedules for machine and tool in/out status to check for planned out-of-service time phases
