Gain full control of time, cost and pegging
IFS/MTO uses Dynamic Order Processing (DOP), which enables you to create a multi-level structure for planning, purchasing, and manufacturing with full control of time, cost, and pegging. DOP supports pegging to any level in the structure. Below that level, MRP manages the remaining parts. The benefits are extensive: you can use actual costing, easily monitor progress at all levels of production, gain flexibility in your part management, and propagate changes in supply and demand dates or quantities upstream or downstream. Reduce costs and improve efficiency by creating dynamic orders automatically
IFS/MTO is integrated with many other modules within IFS Applications, among them IFS/Customer Order, which creates dynamic orders automatically from customer order lines. Other integrated modules then allow you to easily process these orders. When combined with IFS/Constraint Based Scheduling, IFS/MTO also supports advanced planning and scheduling for both material and capacity constraints. Streamline your order fulfillment process
IFS/ATO lends itself to a manufacturing environment that deals with a number of standard product structures with common, in-stock components. Since any of the finished products may be in demand at different times, you want to produce them only when a customer order is received for them. Because IFS/ATO is integrated with IFS/Customer Order and IFS/Shop Order, you can easily streamline the order fulfillment process. This is because shop orders are automatically created from customer order lines and products are automatically issued back to the customer order upon completion. Support configured products
A specialised technique used by both IFS/MTO and IFS/ATO is configure-to-order functionality. By using the concept of a configurable part, the integrated IFS/Configure to Order module reduces the number of parts, product structures, and routings necessary to build parts that are members of configuration families.
