This course introduces you to the IFS/Make To Order (MTO) production planning functionality. This functionality is handled through Dynamic Order Processing (DOP), which provides very flexible and powerful order management capability.
This course consists of nine chapters, each of which contains one or more lessons and associated exercises. The course should be followed in the sequence of chapters listed below.
The estimated time to complete this course is approximately 9 hours, 30 minutes.
The estimated time to complete the Basic course is 3 hours. The prerequisite courses are Discrete Manufacturing Basic, Manufacturing Standards Basic, Maintain Inventory Basic, and the Customer Orders chapter in Sales Basic.
The estimated time to complete the Intermediate course is 7 hours. The prerequisite courses are Make to Order Basic, Discrete Manufacturing Intermediate, Manufacturing Standards Basic, Maintain Inventory Basic, and the Customer Orders chapter in Sales Basic.
The estimated time to complete the Advanced course is 1.5 hours. The prerequisite courses are Make to Order Intermediate, Discrete Manufacturing Intermediate, Manufacturing Standards Intermediate, Maintain Inventory Intermediate, and the Customer Orders chapter in Sales Intermediate.
This course is designed primarily for employees working within a manufacturing organization using the make-to-order dynamic order processing application. It is most suitable for persons responsible for managing production resources needed to fulfill customer orders.
This chapter provides a high-level description of functionality in IFS/Make To Order and introduces you to important terms and concepts used in MTO/Dynamic Order Processing. It also contains an overview of the MTO manufacturing data (Overview of MTO Manufacturing Data lesson) used to set up the parts and other data needed to complete the remaining chapters in this course. For instructor led courses, you should first complete the Initial Exercise chapter as a further introduction before students set up their own data.
Dynamic Order Processing (DOP) is advanced functionality that is not installed at all customer sites. Before beginning the lessons in this chapter, you should have a basic understanding of manufacturing concepts and the basic functionality of IFS/Shop Order, IFS/Manufacturing Standards, IFS/Customer Orders, and IFS/Inventory. Some knowledge of IFS/Constraint Based Scheduling and IFS/Costing would also be useful.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 2 hours. The introductory presentation should take about 20 minutes to complete, while the data setup lesson should take about 90 to 100 minutes.
This chapter was designed primarily for anyone interested in an overview of Make To Order—Dynamic Order Processing. It also provides background information to anyone completing the remaining chapters of this course. It is most suitable for persons responsible for managing production resources needed to fulfill customer orders.
This chapter provides an overview of functionality in IFS/Make To Order using data installed with the training database. It consists of two separate exercise files, which should be completed in sequence. These exercises are intended primarily for instructor led courses, and should be completed before having students set up their own data in the Introductory Lesson above. Self-directed learners can also complete these initial exercises, but they must first complete the Overview of the MTO Manufacturing Data exercise to set up their own data for these exercises. This data will be used in the remaining chapters.
