Manufacturing planning & execution

The brain of your production, between the ERP and the warehouse

NG Operations is neither an ERP nor a warehouse app. It is the planning layer that pulls master data from the ERP, turns demand into a plan, the plan into work orders, and drives execution through the WMS — then feeds realization from the warehouse back into the order, in real time.

  • Demand planning (S&OP)
  • MRP — material requirements
  • Production scheduling
  • Work orders and realization
  • WMS and ERP integration

What it is

The missing link between ERP and warehouse

The ERP holds master data and finance. The WMS moves goods through the warehouse. Between them sits a gap: nothing systematically turns demand into a plan, the plan into work orders, and work orders into execution — that job usually falls to spreadsheets and people's experience.

NG Operations fills that gap. It pulls master data from the ERP — items, customers, suppliers, price lists — then derives a sales plan from confirmed demand and forecast, calculates material requirements from the plan and the bill of materials (MRP), schedules production against capacity, and drives execution through the WMS. Realization from the warehouse — every material issue and every quantity produced — flows back into the work order in real time.

The crucial part: NG Operations replaces neither the ERP nor the WMS. The ERP stays the source of master data and the place of record, the WMS stays the system that moves goods, and NG Operations takes over the layer they never had — planning and running production. It orchestrates them rather than pushing them aside.

The platform is nine modules: sales, procurement, demand planning, material planning, production planning, bills of materials, laboratory, BI and dashboards. Each also works on its own — you can start with MRP, demand planning or the lab, then switch on the rest in sequence, without data migration and without a big-bang rollout.

Manufacturing Planning & Execution (ERP / MRP / MES)

  • Sales: customers, quotes, contracts and sales orders that become firm demand
  • Procurement: suppliers, contracts, purchase orders, receiving and 3-way match
  • Demand planning: statistical forecast with trend and seasonality, S&OP consensus
  • Material planning (MRP): gross and net requirements for raw materials, components and packaging, with deadlines
  • Production planning: master schedule (MPS), capacity check (CRP) and Gantt scheduling
  • Bills of materials (BOM): multi-level recipes, waste and scrap coefficients, planned cost
  • Laboratory (LIMS): analysis templates, limit values, lot quarantine and certificates
  • BI reporting: pivots over a live database, drill-down to the source document
  • Dashboards: KPIs by role, order realization from the WMS, thresholds and alarms
  • Integration: master data from the ERP, execution and realization through the WMS
How it works

The planning chain, from demand to execution

One flow in which each step computes the next, and the last one — realization from the warehouse — feeds back into the plan. Nothing is retyped by hand and nothing lives in a separate spreadsheet.

  1. 01

    Firm demand from sales

    Sales orders and contracts from the sales module — including orders arriving from NG Commerce — become firm, confirmed demand rather than an estimate.

  2. 02

    Demand planning (S&OP)

    The system reads trend and seasonality from sales history, the planner corrects for promotions and new items, and confirmed demand is layered on top. The result is a demand plan per item and period that sales, production and finance all sign off on.

  3. 03

    Material planning (MRP)

    The demand plan is exploded through the BOM down to every raw material, component and packaging item; available stock and open purchase orders are netted off, and the lead time gives the date each purchase order must be released.

    Production planning

    The plan and current stock produce a master schedule (MPS); line and shift capacity is checked (CRP), orders are scheduled on a Gantt chart, and an approved schedule becomes a work order.

    Execution through the WMS

    Material is issued to production straight from the warehouse, each issue carries a lot and location, and the order's progress fills from real issues and produced quantities in real time. A lot without a confirmed lab result does not move on.

    Insight and feedback loop

    At order close the planned norm is compared with actual consumption and scrap, forecast accuracy is measured and returned to the next cycle, and dashboards and BI read the same live database.

Capabilities

What you get

Nine modules that cover the path from customer to finished product, plus a realization and integration layer. Each works on its own, and together they form a single chain.

  • Sales and sales orders

    Customer records, per-customer price lists, versioned quotes and contracts; confirmed orders reserve stock and enter planning as firm demand.

  • Procurement and suppliers

    Supplier contracts and price lists, purchase orders raised from MRP proposals, warehouse receiving and a 3-way match of order, receipt and invoice.

  • Demand planning (S&OP)

    Statistical forecast with trend and seasonality, manual correction for promotions, merging with firm demand, and accuracy measurement (MAPE, bias).

  • Material planning (MRP)

    Derives gross and net material requirements from the plan and BOM, computes the order date from lead time, and pegging ties every requirement to the order that caused it.

  • Production planning

    Master schedule (MPS), line and shift capacity check (CRP), Gantt scheduling and a work order (type 900) with planned norm, target quantity, line and deadline.

  • Bills of materials (BOM)

    Multi-level bills of materials with semi-finished goods and raw materials, waste and scrap coefficients, recipe versions and planned cost built from component purchase prices.

  • Laboratory and quality (LIMS)

    Analysis templates with limit values, automatic pass/fail evaluation, lot quarantine and blocking until quality is confirmed, and certificates generated from actual results.

  • BI reporting

    Pivots over the platform's live database, with no ETL or overnight batches, and drill-down from a total to an individual contract, order or receipt.

  • Operational dashboards

    Role-based KPI cards, traffic lights and threshold alarms, realization progress from the WMS, and a full-screen dark-theme view for the shop-floor monitor.

  • Real-time realization

    Every work order's progress fills from real material issues and produced quantities in the WMS — you don't report realization by hand, you watch it happen.

  • Lot traceability

    Every issue and every product carries a lot, batch and location; forward and backward traceability runs from raw material to finished good and back in a few clicks.

  • ERP and WMS integration

    It pulls master data from your existing ERP and drives execution and realization through the WMS — for example KickOff WMS. It connects them into one flow rather than replacing them.

Why manufacturers adopt NG Operations

The effect does not come from any single module — it comes from there no longer being a gap between plan, production and warehouse where stock and deadlines fall through.

FAQ

NG Operations — FAQ

Does NG Operations replace our ERP or WMS?

No. NG Operations is the layer of planning and production control between them. The ERP keeps master data and finance, the WMS moves goods, and NG Operations takes over what neither of them does — planning demand, materials and production, and running work orders. It orchestrates them, it does not replace them.

What does it mean that NG Operations is the "brain" between ERP and WMS?

The ERP knows what you have and at what cost, the WMS knows where goods are and how they move, but neither decides what to produce and order and when. NG Operations does exactly that: it turns demand into a plan, the plan into work orders, and sends the orders into execution through the WMS while tracking their realization.

Do we have to roll out all nine modules at once?

No. Each module is a self-contained whole and works on its own. The usual path is to start with one — material planning (MRP), demand planning or the lab — over your existing ERP and WMS data, then switch on the rest in sequence, without migration and without interrupting work.

What is MRP and what exactly does it calculate?

MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is the engine that explodes the demand plan through the bill of materials down to every component. It nets gross requirements against stock, open purchase orders and reservations, leaving net requirements — how much raw material, components and packaging is actually missing. For each, using the lead time, it also computes the exact date the purchase order must be released.

How does a work order know how far production has gotten?

Realization fills from the WMS in real time. Every material issue and every produced quantity is charged to the open order, so the progress bar fills from real shop-floor events, with no after-the-fact data entry. At order close the system compares the planned norm with actual consumption and scrap.

Which ERP and WMS does it work with?

NG Operations pulls master data from your existing ERP through an integration, and drives execution and realization through the WMS — for example KickOff WMS. Sales orders can also arrive from other systems, including NG Commerce. The systems you already use stay in place.

How is pricing determined?

On request. Pricing depends on the number of modules you roll out, the complexity of your production and norms, and the ERP and WMS integrations required. After a short conversation about your processes you get a module-by-module rollout proposal and an estimate.
