Production

Manufacturing intelligence built around real costs.

Connect demand, materials, labor, machines, routing and overhead to understand the economics of every work order and product.

Capabilities

Built around the questions that matter.

These capabilities are designed to work together rather than operate as isolated modules.

01

Demand forecasting

Forecasts built from real historical sales and open-order data, not a manually adjusted growth assumption.

02

Order-mix prioritization

Prioritize work orders by real margin and capacity impact, not just order date.

03

BOM costing

Bill-of-materials costing rolls up real material costs per unit, so a BOM change shows its actual cost impact, not an estimate.

04

Procurement

Material purchase orders tied directly to real supplier pricing, lead time and minimum order quantities — not a spreadsheet reorder list.

05

Routing and processes

Model the real sequence of production stages a product moves through, with the resources each stage actually consumes.

06

Work orders

Track each work order's real material, labor and machine consumption against what was planned for it.

07

Labor cost

Real labor cost per stage, driven by actual resource rates rather than a single blended labor rate applied to everything.

08

Machine cost and utilization

See real machine hours consumed per work order against available capacity, not a theoretical utilization estimate.

09

Overhead allocation

Allocate real overhead into unit economics instead of leaving it as an unassigned lump on the P&L.

10

Work-order P&L

See the real, fully loaded profitability of a specific work order — material, labor, machine and overhead — not just its revenue.

11

Production variance

Compare planned vs. actual cost per work order to catch real material and labor variance while it's still fixable.

PredictLine approach

Connect the signal to the business behind it.

PredictLine is designed to help teams move from a metric to the evidence behind it, then from evidence to a better decision.

  • Trace the financial result
  • Explain the operational drivers
  • Predict the forward impact
  • Decide with context

Manufacturing production intelligence connected to cost and margin

Understand production performance in financial terms

Production decisions affect material consumption, labor, yield, scrap, capacity, inventory and customer service. Connecting those measures helps operations prioritize the issues with the greatest business impact.

Analyze production drivers

Investigate performance by product, line, work order, site or other operational dimensions to understand recurring variance and improvement opportunities.

Connect production to planning

Use production intelligence alongside financial forecasts, inventory and customer demand to improve management decisions.

Production is built as its own product on purpose, and now runs on the same shared database as Financials and WMS — so a supplier or item is one real record, not a copy kept in sync across systems, and a work order's cost and a warehouse's replenishment decision are always working from the same underlying data.
