Why Production Planning?
Order-driven planning of materials, capacity and production scheduling
Using orders and sales forecasts, bills of materials and work center capacity, the Cyber ERP Production Planning module calculates material and resource requirements for production. Master and detailed plans, production orders and Gantt charts make it possible to adjust and reschedule operations. Recording production output, material consumption, scrap and downtime in connection with inventory, purchasing and maintenance helps compare plans with actual performance.
Production Planning subsystems
- Material Requirements PlanningCalculate material requirements and shortages and raise supply requests to carry out production plans.
- Operations PlanningSet production plans and work orders, view Gantt charts and reschedule when conditions change.
- Product EngineeringMaintain bills of materials and manufacturing operations as the basis for planning and resource estimation.
- Capacity PlanningCompare workload with work center capacity to identify bottlenecks and available time.
- Production ControlRecord production output, material consumption, scrap and downtime by work order and work center.
- Product Development (R&D)Define research objectives and stages and product templates, and issue production orders for prototypes or new products.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the price of the CYBER ERP Production Planning solution calculated?
Pricing depends on the subsystems you select, the number of users and the deployment model (on-premises or cloud). Complete the demo request form to receive a tailored quote.
Can Production Planning be purchased separately from other modules?
Yes. Each module can be deployed on its own, and further modules can be added later without migrating your data again.
How does Production Planning integrate with the rest of the organization?
All CYBER ERP modules share one database, so transactions in one department are posted automatically to the related areas, with no duplicate data entry.
How long does a Production Planning implementation take?
The timeline depends on the size of your organization and the number of subsystems. It covers process analysis, installation, data migration, user training and post-launch support.
