Discrete Manufacturing with Dynamics 365
Discrete manufacturing in Dynamics 365 enables you to plan production orders, optimize resources, manage shop floor operations, and track costs with accuracy. You improve quality, productivity, and synchronization between Supply Chain and manufacturing.
Discrete manufacturing challenges
In discrete manufacturing, variability in orders, components, and capacity creates risks of delays and cost overruns. Without clear visibility, production teams struggle to meet schedules and maintain quality standards.
- Limited visibility into production orders and capacities
- Complex coordination between Purchasing, Inventory, and shop floor
- Frequent delays or unplanned reallocations
- Quality issues impacting schedules
- Difficulty tracking actual production costs
Discrete Manufacturing with Dynamics 365
Dynamics 365 provides comprehensive management of discrete manufacturing by integrating planning, execution, and operational tracking. The system structures bills of materials, routings, capacities, and production orders to optimize every stage of the process. With real time visibility, you control resources, anticipate shortages, adjust production orders, and improve output rates. Discrete manufacturing becomes more accurate, responsive, and fully connected to your Supply Chain, ensuring reliable execution and clear shop floor management.

Frequent asked questions
Dynamics 365 connects Supply Chain, shop floor operations, and planning within a unified platform, providing end to end visibility. A traditional system manages only part of the process without real time synchronization.
Yes. Discrete Manufacturing in Dynamics 365 adapts to both SMEs and mid sized companies through flexible configuration and scalable processes.
The timeline depends on the number of workshops, the complexity of routings, and Supply Chain flows. In general, implementation ranges from a few months to longer depending on organizational scope.
Yes. Power BI enables analysis of costs, output rates, scrap, production orders, capacities, and performance using synchronized data from Dynamics 365.
