| No. | Business Process | User Requirement | |
| 1 | Production Planning | Masters | Each raw material item in the inventory, including spares can be identified by a unique identification no. in the materials master. |
| 2 | Production Planning | Masters | System will be able to track and monitor all item in different pack size using unique identification numbers. |
| 3 | Production Planning | Masters | System will support for classification into MRP based materials and NON-MRP based materials. (MRP based materials are sales order specific and procured only on receipt of sales order after considering inventory stocks. NON-MRP based materials are procured based on re-order points. |
| 4 | Production Planning | Masters | Material Masters can capture the attributes of each raw
material item. For e.g. composition, specification , probable vendors,
plants where it may be required, whether domestically procured or imported,
weather imported against any incentives, excise and customer classification
etc.
For spares system should capture asset specification, criticality, location, hierarchy, Cost Centre Codes, Asset Codes, Warranty Information, Safety Procedure. |
| 5 | Production Planning | Masters | System will allow auto and manual generation on the requirements based on BOM and sales order. The BOM should be multi-level in nature and also consider in-house produced finished goods which are used as input for other processes. |
| 6 | Production Planning | Masters | System will perform an MRP at user defined intervals to consolidate the requirements of raw materials, consumables and packing material across multiple orders and all production lines. |
| 7 | Production Planning | Masters | During MRP, system will also take into consideration the available Finished good inventory before releasing Purchase requisitions and production orders. |
| 8 | Production Planning | Masters | System will support a short term (daily) and medium term (few weeks) production plan. |
| 9 | Production Planning | Masters | System will be able to create a Production Plan to plan for the critical components (raw materials with large lead times, tools, in-house manufactured finished goods) and scheduling of bottleneck work centres. |
| 10 | Production Planning | Masters | System will support capacity planning across the plants for allocating a production order to a particular production line. |
| 11 | Production Planning | Masters | Based on the capacity planning, system should also allow transfer of a production order from one production line to the other. |
| 12 | Production Planning | Masters | System will also support simulation of production schedules for checking tentative date of delivery for expected orders. |
| 13 | Production Planning | Masters | System will support a rough cut capacity planning at work centres to schedule the production orders. |
| 14 | Production Planning | Masters | System will allow for issue of manual production order and for producing goods to be kept as semi-finished goods. |
| 15 | Production Planning | Masters | System will allow for edit and store of recipe for production order and should record cost accordingly. |
| 16 | Production Planning | Scheduling | System will also support the splitting of a job to production lines. |
| 17 | Production Planning | Scheduling | For scheduling of jobs, system should consider minimum change over time, cleaning time, availability of raw material, line speed, production quantity, etc. and optimize on each of these parameters. |
| 18 | Production Planning | Scheduling | System will be able to schedule and prioritize the jobs based on the dispatch date in the sales order. |
| 19 | Production Planning | Scheduling | System should be able to group the products based on the parameters of the final product and priority of specified groups should be considered for production. |
| 20 | Production Planning | Scheduling | System will also consider any planned maintenance schedules and holidays at the time of scheduling. |
| 21 | Production Planning | Scheduling | System will be able to consider any intermediate corrective path in case of quality/ machine failure at any of the work centres. This would result in a new schedule being taken. |
| 22 | Production Planning | Production | System will capture QC checklist results at each work centre before production starts on that work centre. |
| 23 | Production Planning | Production | The system will allow closing of a production order at each stage of the production and allow on reporting of WIP. |
| 24 | Production Planning | Reports | Ability to report on past work centre history such as past productivity etc. |
| 25 | Production Planning | Reports | Report on average lead times across raw materials, manufacturing and Procurement. |
| 26 | Production Planning | Reports | Ability to record customer complaints and support for non conformance reports. |
| 27 | Production Planning | Reports | Ability to back track upon raw materials based on non-conformance reports. |
| 28 | Production Planning | Reports | Ability to analyze material usage based on past consumption. |
| 29 | Production Planning | Reports | Ability to report on Shift wise daily production schedule. |
| 30 | Production Planning | Reports | System will be able to report on the actual production vs. the planned production based on the daily input and schedules generated. |
| 31 | Production Planning | Reports | System will be able to give a production summary report, for each job, each day / week / month mentioning the raw material consumption, FG produced etc. |
| 32 | Production Planning | Reports | System should be able to give a production summary report, for each job, each day / week / month mentioning the raw material consumption, FG produced etc. |
| 33 | Production Planning | Planning | System will be able to do material planning at product hierarchy ( Bulk Product). |
| 34 | Production Planning | Planning | System will be able do to material planning as per distribution requirement that requirement raised by Depot / C&F. |
| 35 | Production Planning | Planning | System will be able to support both order based manufacturing as well as stock requirement. |
| 36 | Production Planning | Planning | System will consider material which partially manufactured and unpacked products during material planning. |
