The Routing and Production Analysis app enhances production efficiency by enabling manufacturers to compare actual versus expected times, quantities, and costs. The app helps optimize routing parameters, refine costing accuracy, and improve scheduling by identifying material and labor variances, process variability, and costing variances. Manufacturers can now also monitor actual vs. expected production costs, ensuring accurate budget control and improved profitability. Fully integrated with Dynamics 365 Business Central, it provides actionable insights directly within your ERP system, streamlining operations and reducing inefficiencies.

Streamlined Production Optimization

• Actual vs. Expected Time & Cost Comparison – Easily compare recorded production times and actual production costs with planned estimates to identify efficiency gaps and cost overruns.
• Process Variability Analysis – Track and minimize inconsistencies in operation times and costs to enhance reliability.
• Material & labor variances – Identify variances in quantities and costs for components, setup time, run time, and subcontractor costs.

Why Choose the Routing Analysis App?

• Enhance Production Accuracy – Align actual production times and costs with planned parameters to improve efficiency and costing precision.
• Improve Scheduling & Budgeting – Use real-time data to refine production schedules and maintain tighter budget control.
• Reduce Variability – Standardize production processes by identifying inconsistencies in both operation times and costs, improving reliability.
• Optimize Resources – Analyze routing operations and cost breakdowns to ensure effective use of labor, materials, and subcontracting expenses.

Key Features
