Discrete Manufacturing

D365 F&SCM for discrete manufacturing, BOM to shipment.

Discrete manufacturers build from BOMs, work orders, and assemblies. As a Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation partner, we implement D365 F&SCM to connect engineering, production, inventory, and costing, so assemblies ship on time at the right margin.

Industry challenges

What slows discrete manufacturers

BOMs, work orders, and serials are hard to control in disconnected tools.

BOM and engineering change control

Managing multi-level BOMs and engineering changes in spreadsheets causes errors.

Work order visibility

Production status and material availability are hard to see in real time.

Serial and warranty tracking

Tracking serials for warranty and service is manual and incomplete.

Assembly costing

True assembly cost is unclear without rolled-up material and labor.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can D365 F&SCM manage multi-level BOMs?
Yes. Bills of materials support multiple levels with revision control, keeping engineering, production, and costing in sync.
Does it support serialized inventory?
Yes. Warehouse management can track serial numbers from receipt through production and into the field for warranty purposes.
How is standard costing handled?
Cost management supports standard costing with variance analysis, or actual costing depending on how you need to track margin.
Can it manage engineering changes?
Yes. Revisioned BOMs and routes let you control which version of a product is in production at any point.
