Home » FabTrol MRP » Production management Managing production with FabTrol MRPThe biggest change in FabTrol MRP from previous generations of our software is in the area of production management. Our product still supports the relatively simple waypoint tracking and left-to-do reporting system popularized by FabTrol Version 8. For companies with advanced needs, though, it also offers a powerful integrated production management system, which includes: Jump to: Imports | Capacity | Routing | Work orders | Tracking CAD & CNC integrationSave schedule time by importing bills of materials, drawing image files, and CNC instructions from the detailed drawings. FabTrol MRP can help you avoid unnecessary data entry, resolve mismatches in the data you are importing, manage drawing approvals and revisions, and more. Shop capacity planningIn the planning phase, the Capacity Overview window enables you to review your production commitments by tonnage or labor hours and evaluate your capacity to take on additional work or reschedule current projects. Automated routing to work areasFabTrol MRP is designed to automate the production planning process. Using powerful, user-definable routing rules and optional CNC data, the system quickly assigns the required parts and assemblies to appropriate work areas for efficient production. Estimated fabrication timesThe routing process also calculates the time required for each fabrication or assembly process -- enabling you to see how much work each assembly or group of assemblies represents. Work order & cut list managementAs assemblies are approved for production, you can quickly organize them into logical production batches and then prioritize those batches for efficient fabrication. The system provides robust tools for creating and managing daily cut lists by work area. It can even output CNC instructions in the appropriate format for your shop floor equipment. Progress trackingAs production tasks are completed, you can review a variety of production tracking reports to see what's been done by job, sequence, load, work area, and more -- and, better yet, see what's left to be done.
