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.

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.

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.

The Spice & Tea Exchange

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.

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.
