Engineer Manufacturing Excellence with D365 F&O Production Control

For Complex Manufacturing: Achieve Unrivaled Precision, Control, and Efficiency on the Shop Floor.

In complex, discrete, and process manufacturing, the margin for error is zero. Inefficient scheduling, inaccurate shop floor data, and rigid processes lead to costly downtime, quality issues, and an inability to adapt to changing demands. To lead in this landscape, you need an enterprise-grade solution that provides both deep operational control and strategic business insight.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations delivers a powerful, native Production Control module designed for the complexities of modern manufacturing. It goes beyond basic MRP to provide a unified platform that seamlessly connects your shop floor execution with your financial, supply chain, and quality management systems.

As a trusted Microsoft Partner, we implement these advanced capabilities to create a responsive and highly efficient manufacturing operation. Here’s how we leverage the most powerful tools within F&O Production Control to drive operational excellence:

• Master Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS): Move beyond traditional MRP with sophisticated constraint-based scheduling. Optimize your production sequences based on material availability, machine capacity, and labor constraints. Visualize your shop floor schedule with Gantt charts and dynamically adjust to disruptions in real-time, maximizing throughput and on-time delivery.
• Gain Real-Time Shop Floor Visibility with Manufacturing Execution (MES): Transform shop floor data into actionable intelligence. With comprehensive Production Floor Execution capabilities, operators can report progress, register material consumption, and record downtime directly from shop floor terminals. This provides a live view of production orders, enabling immediate intervention and continuous performance improvement.
• Enforce Quality and Traceability Integrated into Production: Build quality directly into your manufacturing processes. Leverage integrated Quality Management to trigger inspection orders at critical production stages—at raw material receipt, during the production process, or on finished goods. With full batch and serial number traceability, you can track a component’s journey through the entire production lifecycle.
• Optimize Complex Processes with Subcontracting and Route Management: Manage intricate production flows with precision. Define detailed Routes and Operations with multiple resource requirements and seamlessly integrate subcontracted operations into your production order. The system automatically generates purchase orders for subcontracted work and manages the flow of materials to and from vendors.
• Achieve Granular Costing and Performance Analytics: Understand the true cost of production with unparalleled detail. Track actual labor, machine time, and material consumption against standards at the operation level. Analyze Manufacturing KPIs like OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and schedule adherence directly from Power BI dashboards to drive data-driven decisions.

Stop letting manufacturing complexity constrain your growth. Let us show you how the enterprise-level power of Dynamics 365 F&O Production Control can be configured to give you the precision, adaptability, and insight needed to optimize your manufacturing operations and build a sustainable competitive advantage.
