Production Control & Planning
Modern Manufacturing Inventory Management Software
Stop letting production bottlenecks stall your growth. Cin7 delivers the manufacturing production planning tools you need to sync raw materials with sales demand, ensuring your shop floor runs with total precision and zero wasted effort.
Engineering Efficiency
Production Planning Tools Built for Complexity
Your Bill of Materials (BOM) is more than just a list; it’s the foundation of your profitability. Whether you're managing simple kits or complex, multi-stage assemblies, our manufacturing inventory management software ensures every component is tracked from the moment it’s ordered to the moment it ships as a finished good.
Multi-Stage & Nested BOMs: Effortlessly manage intricate product hierarchies where sub-assemblies feed into final production runs.
Real-Time Component Tracking: Automatically deplete raw materials as production progresses, giving you a live look at your true stock levels.
Demand-Driven Production: Connect your shop floor directly to Shopify, Amazon, and wholesale channels so your manufacturing production planning always reflects real-world sales.

Discover how customers are using Cin7's production planning tools to scale their output while maintaining inventory accuracy.
Cin7 helps me manage my inventory incredibly well, from base manufacturing all the way to being able to to sell my products. Without it, I literally would have no idea what sort of stock I’ve got.
Jodie Neilson
Founder, New Farm Confectionery
Previously, we had to track ingredients used in production by hand. With Cin7 we do this in real time, allowing us to closely track usage and understand our production process better.

Before Cin7, I was always just guessing what’s going to be used for production that day. With Cin7 Core, the instant win for us was we were able to see the big picture, the movement of the raw materials, and I was able to do our reorders in time.
Hannah Chamberlain
Founder, Royal Essence
In our previous systems, we never had that visibility. Now he can go ‘Ah, we’ve got 50 bikes that are available in the store, let’s get them out the door.

The Ultimate Manufacturing Production Planning Suite
Built-in MRP & Material Logic
Use Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to calculate exactly what components to buy and when. It’s the essential manufacturing inventory management software tool for avoiding stockouts and production delays.
Scheduling & Capacity Planning
Master your floor’s output. Our production planning tools help you manage labor hours, machine capacity, and lead times so you can commit to ship dates with total confidence.
Batch & Lot Traceability
Maintain total compliance with end-to-end lot and batch tracking. Track every ingredient or component from the supplier through the production run to the final customer.
Manufacturing Execution (MES)
Get deep visibility into your production lifecycle. Track work-in-progress (WIP) and accurately account for labor and overhead costs to see your true COGS.
Strategic Sourcing & Reordering
Stop guessing when to restock raw materials. Our production planning tools monitor your component levels and lead times, automatically generating purchase orders for your suppliers.
Specialized Manufacturing
Software That Speaks Your Industry’s Language
Generic manufacturing inventory management software often forces you into a one-size-fits-all workflow. Cin7 adapts to your specific needs, whether you require lightweight kitting or heavy-duty, multi-stage production with full traceability.
CPG & Electronics: Manage thousands of tiny components and sub-assemblies without losing a single unit.
Food & Beverage: Automate FEFO and batch tracking to ensure safety, compliance, and zero waste.
Industrial: Coordinate production runs across internal teams and external contract manufacturers in one view.
Health & Beauty: Seamlessly manage expiry dates, batch tracking, and FDA-compliant documentation across your raw ingredients and finished goods.
Connect Your Factory
Sync Production with Your Tech Stack
True manufacturing production planning requires data from everywhere. Cin7 connects your shop floor to over 700 native integrations, ensuring your sales orders trigger production and your finished goods costs flow directly into your accounting software.
Production Planning FAQs
Which ERP is best for manufacturing?
The best manufacturing ERP adapts to your specific production complexity, whether you run simple kitting operations or multi-stage assemblies with full traceability. Look for systems that offer built-in MRP, nested BOMs, manufacturing execution (MES) capabilities, and native integrations with your sales channels and accounting software.
What are production planning tools?
Production planning tools are software systems that help manufacturers coordinate raw materials, labor, and machine capacity to meet sales demand. They automate material requirements planning (MRP), schedule production runs, and track components from purchase through finished goods.
How does Cin7 handle reordering raw materials?
Cin7 uses your production demand and minimum stock levels to identify exactly what is missing. You can then generate bulk purchase orders to your suppliers directly from the system, ensuring that your raw material arrivals are perfectly timed with your production schedule.
What is a manufacturing production plan?
A manufacturing production plan is a strategic process that allocates resources, time, and activities to meet customer demand while minimizing waste. It accounts for raw material optimization, labor availability, machinery capacity, and production constraints to ensure efficient operations.
What's the difference between MPS and MRP?
MPS (Master Production Schedule) focuses on planning finished products, while MRP (Material Requirements Planning) determines the specific parts, materials, and subassemblies needed to produce them. MRP operates at a micro level and is driven by the dependent demand created by the MPS.
