🏭 Production Planning
Production Planning in ERPNext helps manufacturers efficiently organize and schedule the entire production cycle. By aligning raw materials, operations, and workforce, it ensures that manufacturing runs smoothly without bottlenecks. Whether demand comes from Sales Orders, Material Requests, or forecasts, ERPNext intelligently calculates requirements and prepares the production pipeline.
With built-in Material Requirement Planning (MRP), ERPNext minimizes shortages, prevents overstocking, and optimizes resource utilization. It allows businesses to generate multiple Work Orders at once, plan capacity for machines and labor, and track progress in real time. This leads to improved productivity, lower costs, and timely delivery of finished goods.
