Hi ,

If its Make to stock

1) plan your monthly or weekly or daily quantity based on forecast or past history.

2) create independent requirement.

3) run MRP

4) convert plan orders into production orders.

5) issue goods for PO

6) confirm the PO

7) deliver the Finish product.

If its Make to order

1) create sales order.

2) run MRP

3) convert plan orders into production orders.

4) issue goods for PO

5) confirm the PO

6) deliver the Finish product.

Hi,

The question is very wide. Different companies operate in different ways. Also a single Manufacturing Plant can have various cycles and processes. But if I generalize it then the typical production cycle consists of the following steps:

1. The requirements for the finished goods are calculated based on the forecasts, sales targets etc.

2. Then the detailed production plan is drwan as how to meet these requirements.

3. The production orders are created as per the production plan and released to the shop floor to carry out the production activities.

4. As per the Production Order the required components are withdrawn from the stores.

5. The production is carried out (and confirmed).

6. Then the Finished goods so produced are delivered to the stores.

This is the overall structure of process. There can be as many numbers of methods to do this.

For further clarifications, please revert.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Rohit.
