IFS/Dynamic Order Processing (DOP) is a make-to-order solution. The functionality involves configuration possibilities, pegging, and actual costing for customer orders, project activity, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and shop orders. Basically, all of the necessary components to build a final product are ordered for each customer order and managed/monitored by a DOP ID, which is called Seiban in Japanese. In most make-to-order situations, the challenge is to confirm a delivery date that is both material and capacity checked. This must be done inside the order booking process. Once the order is confirmed, the handling is very similar to normal make-to-stock-planning. The method is widely used in different types of production and is characterized as follows:
IFS/Dynamic Order Processing is highly integrated with material requirements planning (MRP) and customer order processing to provide more flexible ordering capability for each product based on its characteristics, as well as flexible and powerful management capability. It can very easily be applied to many different areas; engineer-to-order, make-to-order, assemble-to-order, and make-to-stock.
IFS/Dynamic Order Processing manages everything from flexible order structure creation, order release, order progress monitoring, and pegging to customer order and shipping. It is a part of IFS Manufacturing, but is also integrated with IFS Supply Chain, IFS Project Management and IFS Financials. IFS/Inventory is common to IFS Manufacturing and IFS Supply Chain. The components work together so that you can automatically create dynamic orders directly from a customer order in IFS Supply Chain or project activity in IFS Project Management, or create dynamic orders independently and peg them to customer orders when you need to do so.
