Currently planning of production orders takes no account of available time within work centres, is this standard? Can anyone please advise. Thank you.

    Suzanne,

    The phrase "planning of production orders" can mean many things in Navision, but you are generally correct. The overall production system is based on optimistic scheduling.

    There is a finite planning module that will try to shift load to keep critical work centers under x % of their capacity, but the algorithm used for this is quite simple, meaning it achieves only "dumb" scheduling.

    If you want a full graphical planning/scheduling system, check out Cost Control Software's products. I think their website is www.costcontrolsoftware.com, or some variation of that.

    Good luck,
