JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing Overview

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing enables a manufacturing company to design its production facility to meet the requirements of demand-driven manufacturing. In a demand-driven environment, a manufacturer has to be able to build any model at any time based on existing demand. To support this goal, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing enables you to:

Design a manufacturing line based on the processes required to build the products in a mixed model family.
Calculate the throughput for the line based on demand at capacity.
Calculate kanban sizes based on the line design to ensure a smooth supply of component parts.
Calculate labor and machine resource requirements based on the work content of each process, to meet daily demand and to support demand at capacity production levels.
Plan and sequence production.

You can integrate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing. In this case you import base data, such as item information, bills of material, resource information and sales orders into JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing. If JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing is not integrated with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing, the system provides programs to set up these data within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Flow® Manufacturing.
