The MasterTrak© Manufacturing Control application is designed to provide the Distributor and Manufacturer with a powerful tool to manage and control job shop manufacturing and assembly. The application provides for multi-level bill of material processing, creation of Shop Orders from a bill of material, creating new assemblies and bills of material from a Job Shop estimate, and the creation of Inventory Requisitions from Shop Orders. Production plans can be created to identify the required production necessary for the planning horizon and the various jobs may be scheduled, using drag and drop methods, into the production areas based on the date required.

The Manufacturing control application supports Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and the implementation of Just-In-Time inventory. The MRP report may be printed for scheduled shop orders or may be printed for a given production plan.

In association with the MasterTrak Inventory application, the Manufacturing Control application is barcode enabled to allow for the use of a portable reader or readers to assist in the release of material to work in process and receipt of goods to Finished Goods Inventory.
