Production Order Management & Execution

To be successful, manufacturing organizations need to efficiently and effectively plan and control the execution of their orders. After receiving an order, manufacturing is responsible to keep its execution running smoothly at required levels while meeting cost and quality objectives. At IndX, we support our customers by designing and delivering cutting-edge technology solutions that optimize the way manufacturers manage and execute their orders from start to finish. Our unique industry experience and technical expertise in this field can help any organization streamline operations and reduce non-value-added time spent during production, regardless of what they manufacture.

Solutions for Order Management & Execution

Successful digital solutions for manufacturing order management and execution must cover important functionalities, including:

  • Production order handling – validation and release
  • Production order execution
  • Automatic production order download to control level or batch system
  • Real-time production data aggregation
  • Real-time monitoring of work-in-progress (WIP) on shop floor
  • Material declaration during production
  • Rework management
  • Production tracking and tracing
  • Operator support via integration with Electronic Work Instructions (EWI)
  • Integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to ensure alignment with sales
  • Integration with PLM system to ensure up-to-date production information and work instructions

Benefits of Order Management & Execution

  • Reduce time-to-market
  • Reduce non-value-added time on shop floor
  • Reduce human error and manual operations during production
  • Drive paperless production execution
  • Increase production data visibility
  • Improve business decision-making
  • Increase productivity and throughput
  • Eliminate the need for partners to declare material production/consumption in ERP systems due to automatic updating
  • Facilitate communication between manufacturing and engineering to minimize rework and drive quality

IndX Expertise

Our team of IndX experts has over a decade of experience designing and deploying successful solutions for production management and execution, covering all entities within the workflow, including production orders, purchase orders, transfer orders, jobs, batches and work orders. Often within the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or MOM environment, our order management solutions enable dispatch information to be presented in the precise sequence in which the work needs to be completed, taking into consideration real-time events that may occur on the factory floor. Order management also includes the capability to manage and change entity status, as well as to control of the manual operations needed during production. Data reports related to rework and recovery are available, along with the ability to control the amount of WIP at any point through buffer management. Our solutions cover both primary and secondary production phases and are designed to be easily integrated with third-party systems such as PLM, MES, ERP or legacy systems.
