Fertigungsaufträgen

Fertigungsaufträgen, also known as production orders or manufacturing orders, are formal documents used in manufacturing environments to authorize and guide the production of a specific quantity of a particular product. They serve as a crucial link between planning and execution in the production process. A typical Fertigungsauftrag details the item to be produced, the required quantity, the start and end dates for production, and the specific manufacturing steps or operations involved.

These orders are usually generated by a production planning system, often based on demand forecasts, sales orders, or inventory levels. The information contained within a Fertigungsauftrag is essential for various departments. The production floor uses it to understand what needs to be made, how many units are needed, and the sequence of operations. Materials management relies on it to ensure the availability of raw materials and components, while quality control uses it to track and verify production standards.

The process typically begins with the creation of the Fertigungsauftrag, which then triggers the release of materials and the scheduling of labor and machinery. As production progresses, the order is updated with information such as actual quantities produced, time spent on each operation, and any deviations from the planned process. Upon completion, the Fertigungsauftrag is closed, providing valuable data for cost accounting, performance analysis, and future planning. Effective management of Fertigungsaufträgen is vital for efficient resource utilization, on-time delivery, and overall manufacturing success.
