Bramvia — Business Central Experts
When the production plan lives in a spreadsheet only one person understands: how to move to a board by machine and day, connected to the ERP, with a demo.
Short answer: if your factory plan lives in a spreadsheet only one person understands, every change (a rush order, a breakdown, a late material) is recalculated by hand and delays are found too late. A visual planner connected to the ERP shows orders by machine and day, flags overlaps and late deliveries, and saves every change on the production orders. Try it below: move an order and see what happens.
Signs the spreadsheet has run its course
- Only one person knows the state of the shop floor.
- Delivery dates are promised without looking at machine load.
- One rush order means re-planning half the week.
- Delays are discovered on the delivery day.
What a planner connected to the ERP needs
A board by machine and day built from the real ERP orders; automatic warnings for overlaps and orders finishing after their due date; moving an order to another day or machine with the date saved on the production order; material availability when you bring an order forward; and capacity by shift, holidays and maintenance stops.
What Business Central does and what to add
Business Central runs MRP, production orders, routings and work centres with capacity. What it does not include is a drag-and-drop visual board: you add it with a specialist AppSource app or a custom extension. What matters is that the board works on the ERP's orders, not on a copy.
FAQ
Does Business Central have a visual production scheduler? It plans materials and capacity; the drag-and-drop board comes from an app or an extension.
Can it plan several machines and shifts? Yes. Each machine or work centre has its own calendar with shifts, holidays and stops.
What happens when I move an order? The new date is saved on the production order and material needs are recalculated.
Is it worth it for a small plant? Yes. With a few machines a simple board is enough; the saving is not rebuilding the spreadsheet every week.
