Support for the Consumer Product Industry

PeopleSoft Manufacturing addresses the needs of the process-oriented consumer products industry by providing the capability to:

• Define multiple outputs, co-products and by-products (including waste and recycle by-products) that can be tracked throughout the system.

• Create up to 98 alternate BOMs and alternate routings for an item.

• Create effective-dated production options by linking specific BOM and routing combinations.

  This provides multiple ways of making the same end item and controls them by effectivity dates, which is particularly useful for seasonal mix variations.

• Satisfy demand created for either the primary or co-product.

  PeopleSoft Supply Planning recommends which production option to use to satisfy the demand.

• Create production IDs or schedules with an associated output list and track the completed quantities of the primary, co-products, and by-products.

• Review and report on the detailed history of specific transactions for lot-controlled items using lot trace and lot composition inquiries.
