MFX Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Components
Receiving Schedule Module
Overview
Manage receiving of raw materials from sourcing to receiving on site. Let planners request the materials they need for Procurement/Sourcing to procure. Planners will be informed on the status of their requests from beginning to end.
Receiving module provides ways to handle different channels with different process workflow scenarios.
Whether it's a tank wagon received on site with shipping documents to be processed or a railcar at the rail yard with shipping documents received in advance, we have you covered.
We know that production plants differ in how they process receiving,
so we've distilled common scenarios and left some flexibility for addressing specific site needs.
Receiving module can handle different types of channels:
- Tank wagon (tanker) trucks
- Box Trucks
- Railcars
- Cargo (tanker) ships
Availability
Available to new licensees in 2023.
