Talk to an Expert The NetSuite WIP and Routing module operates as part of the Manufacturing Resource Planning category within the Oracle NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning Software. Its main function is to manage aspects of work in progress (WIP) and routing processes in manufacturing settings. It presents users with an effective method to oversee and control varying production phases in their manufacturing operations, offering features that simplify production processes, enhance optimal resource distribution, and boost overall productivity.
This module allows users to generate and supervise work orders for a range of manufacturing processes, such as outlining routing steps, assigning resources, tracking development, and updating status.
With this module, users can establish routing sequences and operations for each product or article. It involves the specification of operation order, resource allocation, work center setup, and defining production quantities.
NetSuite WIP and Routing module's integration with the overarching MRP functionality of the ERP software aids users in planning and managing material requirements according to production plans, resource availability, and inventory levels.
Within this module property, users can allocate resources like machinery, equipment, and labor to certain operations and work orders. This offers visibility into resource availability, capacity usage, and scheduling conflicts.
The module supports real-time tracking and monitoring of work in progress. Users can monitor the status of each operation, track material movement, and observe the overall production progress.
With features for managing quality control processes during production, the NetSuite WIP and Routing module allows users to establish quality standards, conduct inspections, and track quality issues or non-compliance.
