ERPLax provides customizable production planning software for manufacturers that need better control over demand, bills of materials, raw material requirements, machine capacity, labour, work orders, production schedules, work in progress, quality, costing and delivery commitments. Configure for make-to-stock, make-to-order, assemble-to-order, batch, repetitive, job-shop, process and project-based manufacturing workflows.

ERP for production planning connects sales spreadsheets, inventory registers, purchase systems and paper production plans that otherwise make achievable planning difficult.
Raw materials arrive late or run short right when production is scheduled to begin.
Without capacity visibility, some work centres sit idle while others are overbooked.
Unplanned schedule changes and shortages push delivery dates without warning.
Jobs pile up between stages with no clear visibility into what's stuck where.
Planning without labour and skill visibility leads to missed operations.
Material, labour and machine costs stay disconnected from actual production orders.
Customer orders and forecasts create demand, BOMs determine material needs, and machine calendars build achievable schedules — all in one system.
Production planning software determines what products must be produced, the quantity required, when production should take place, and which materials, machines, employees and tools are needed.
When production planning is integrated with ERP, the plan is connected with sales, purchasing, inventory, quality, maintenance, finance and management reporting — not isolated in a spreadsheet.
| Term | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Production Planning | Overall quantities, resources, timing and priorities required to meet expected demand |
| Master Production Schedule (MPS) | Which finished products should be produced, in what quantity, and during which period |
| Material Requirements Planning (MRP) | Which raw materials and components are needed, how much, and when they should be available |
| Manufacturing Resource Planning | Extends material planning to machine capacity, labour and production time |
| Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) | Detailed schedules considering constraints, priorities, capacity, setup time and delivery dates |
| Manufacturing Execution System (MES) | Monitoring and controlling production activity on the shop floor |
Confirmed sales orders, forecasts and reorder levels convert directly into production requirements.
Compare required materials with stock, reserved inventory, WIP and incoming purchases before releasing orders.
Machine capacity, labour, shifts, setup time and maintenance are considered while scheduling.
Capacity reports show overloaded and underutilized work centres so planners can rebalance.
Demand-linked material planning avoids purchasing or producing unnecessary stock.
Sales teams see planned production and dispatch information before promising dates.
Configurable modules covering demand, materials, capacity, work orders, shop floor and costing.
Centralized records for finished goods, semi-finished goods, assemblies and components.
Multi-level, alternate and revision-controlled BOMs with scrap allowance and yield.
Define operation sequence, work centres, setup and run times, and alternate routes.
Forecast by product, category, customer, region or season, compared against actual sales.
Time-phased plan for finished goods viewed by day, week, month, plant or line.
Calculates shortages, purchase and production suggestions using BOM, stock and lead times.
Verify stock, alternates and expected receipts before releasing a production order.
Convert approved material requirements into consolidated purchase proposals.
Compare required production hours with available plant, line and work-centre capacity.
Machines, employees, shift calendars, efficiency and hourly cost per work centre.
Assign operations to machines with planned start, completion and changeover time.
Plan employees by skill, certification, shift and availability against required operations.
Factory calendars for plants, departments, machines and teams incl. shutdowns and holidays.
Convert approved requirements into work orders with BOM, routing and quality plan.
Clear shop-floor instructions with drawing, material and quality checkpoints.
Record job start, pause, completion, quantities, rejection and downtime in real time.
Track quantity waiting, in-process, completed and rejected at each production stage.
Batch genealogy connecting consumed materials with finished products.
Dashboards highlight delayed orders, affected deliveries and responsible departments.
Compare planned versus actual material, labour, machine and overhead costs per order.
See how ERPLax connects demand, MRP, capacity and the shop floor in one system.
MRP compares demand with stock, purchases and safety stock.
Machine capacity, labour, shifts and maintenance are considered while planning.
Shortage, overload and overdue-operation reports surface risks earlier.
Capacity dashboards show overloaded and underused work centres.
Demand-linked planning avoids unnecessary purchases and production.
Track quantities waiting, running, completed or pending inspection at every stage.
Revise dates, priorities, machines and quantities when conditions change.
Production status and dispatch readiness stay connected with customer orders.
Compare planned and actual material, labour, machine and overhead cost.
Finished goods, materials, BOMs, routes, work centres and machines.
From sales orders, forecasts, minimum stock or project requirements.
Calculate material needs and compare with machine and labour availability.
Issue work orders, track shop-floor progress, inspect, and dispatch.
ERPLax evaluates integration feasibility per equipment, API availability and technical setup.
Nearly two decades building configurable manufacturing ERP systems.
A track record across discrete, process, batch and job-shop manufacturers.
Proven implementation experience across production planning and MRP.
Material requirements calculated from demand, BOMs, stock and safety stock.
Make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, batch, repetitive and job-shop.
Start with planning and add quality, maintenance, costing and machine integrations later.
Production planning software helps manufacturers determine what to produce, how much to produce, when to produce it, and which materials, machines, employees, tools, and processes are required.
Production planning in ERP connects manufacturing demand with sales orders, forecasts, inventory, bills of materials, purchasing, machine capacity, work orders, quality, costing, and delivery schedules.
MRP primarily calculates material requirements for production. ERP connects MRP with broader functions such as sales, purchasing, inventory, finance, quality, maintenance, HRM, and management reporting.
Production planning determines the overall quantities, resources, and timing required to meet demand. Production scheduling assigns specific jobs and operations to machines, employees, shifts, and time periods.
Yes. ERPLax can calculate material requirements using sales demand, forecasts, bills of materials, inventory, reserved stock, open purchase orders, safety stock, lead times, and existing production orders.
Yes. A master production schedule can be created by product, quantity, plant, production line, day, week, or month.
Yes. Machine and work-centre capacity can be compared with production demand, setup time, run time, maintenance schedules, shifts, and current workloads.
Yes. Confirmed sales orders can generate production demand, material requirements, production orders, customer-specific priorities, and planned delivery dates.
