How does the Expected Production tool work in ManufApp?
The Expected Production tool in ManufApp calculates the maximum number of finished goods (FG) that can be produced, based on real-time availability of raw materials (RM) in your inventory. It does this by:
Pulling live stock data from selected or all warehouses.
Referencing the Bill of Materials (BOM) to determine how much of each RM is needed to make one unit of the FG.
Identifying the limiting raw material — the one that runs out first — and using that to compute the maximum feasible production quantity.
This ensures that you are not just guessing based on total stock but are accounting for actual constraints in the BOM structure. It helps in:
Proactive planning before releasing production orders.
Avoiding mid-batch stoppages due to missing materials.
Coordinating better with purchase teams for timely RM replenishment.
The result is a smart, BOM-aware estimate of what your shop floor can produce right now — turning inventory data into actionable insights.
