Benefits of Microsoft Dynamics NAV
From the order to the finished product:- Dynamics NAV enables you to manage production processes and incorporates special features of make-to-order, series and process manufacturing. Moreover, modules in NAV allow manufacturers to accurately plan, track and report back on production orders. Moreover, production orders can directly be created from sales orders on the basis of stock, requirements and scheduling parameters.
Production planning “to-go”:- With assembly orders, manufacturers can carry out MRP and capacity planning with flexibility and minimal configuration effort. With this, manufacturers can simplify order processing while addressing customer needs to assemble items on a make-to-order basis.
Everything at a glance:- With graphic representations, Dynamics NAV offers an improved overview and better control. NAV provides key production factors such as production orders, sequences, and material availability by means of a graphic wall chart, helping manufacturers to see critical workloads at a glance.
