Solutions for Production Management Challenges

The core mission of a production management system is to provide consistent, well-defined execution and control of manufacturing processes. It must provide accurate, up-to-date information and be flexible to accommodate and manage rapid change. It requires the integration of every task—from product planning and purchasing, to maintaining bills of material (BOMs), to inventory planning and quality control.

The PeopleSoft Manufacturing business solution synchronizes planning and execution throughout an enterprise, enabling you to respond quickly to customer requests and order changes. One of the features the PeopleSoft Manufacturing production management business solution provides is on-demand planning capability. You can perform what-if scenarios without affecting actual data and without running optimization. With up-to-the-minute precision, you can schedule and dispatch production by production area or work area and accurately track production completions and work-in-process. You also have visibility of incoming purchase orders and allocation of inventory. The comprehensive plan-to-produce solution that the PeopleSoft Manufacturing system provides includes powerful core functionality such as backflushing, shift reporting, subcontracting, multiple cost sets, cost roll-ups, Just-In-Time (JIT) support, and serial and lot tracking.
